You found the perfect flattering swimsuit—now all that’s left is a cute beach outfit to match. Take it from Alex Drummond and her recent tropical getaway: the best ones are easy to slip on and off, lightweight enough for hot summer days, and stylish without feeling fussy. Even better, they can take you straight from the beach or pool to lunch, shopping, or wherever you’re headed.
Depending on your style, you can take your pick from effortless summer dresses, breezy blouses, comfy shorts, lightweight pants, and adorable matching sets. There's also plenty of cute coverups to choose from! Of course, they come in a range of bright colors and summery prints, too.
