The end of a day at the beach brings many sensations: layers of salt and sunscreen tightening across the skin, damp and crunchy hair squished beneath a hat, grains of sand at your heels and a face slightly flushed from the heat. Taking this feeling from the beach to the bar might be one of life’s great pleasures: the steamy freedom of summer.
Sartorially, to avoid feeling dusty and disheveled, the transition from shore to dancefloor needs to be managed, but with a light touch to keep the mood high. Once grooming is taken care of, essentially, the look falls into three categories: your swimwear makes the outfit, you throw on a cover-up, or your beach accoutrement becomes the outfit.
