THE BEACH BOY

This season, elevate your seaside style with a slim-fit cotton oxford shirt in soft pink by Polo Ralph Lauren or a crisp white EKD-embroidered T-shirt by Burberry, combined with a pair of clean pastel pink Polo Ralph Lauren traveler swim shorts.

Choose between the effortless comfort of creamy white Birkenstock Barbados EVA sandals, the sleek sophistication of Giuseppe Zanotti Brett logo slides, or Zanotti’s bold statement of blue PVC logo-print slides.

Enhance your look with a thoughtfully curated collection of accessories that effortlessly merge sophistication with practicality. Start with the Off-White blue square-frame sunglasses for a striking pop of color that would pair perfectly with the PVC logo-print slides. Complement these with a Jacquemus Artichaut hat, adding a touch of artistic flair to your look.

Accessorize further with the M.Cohen mixed beaded bracelet for a bohemian edge and the David Yurman sterling silver deco chain link bracelet for timeless elegance. Keep track of time with the water-resistant Bell & Ross BR 05 grey steel watch, its sleek design offering a modern touch. For a rugged yet stylish finish, opt for the Guidi stud-embellished leather keychain or the Maison Margiela four-stitch leather keyring.

At the beach wrap yourself in the classic Burberry check-pattern cotton towel or the luxurious Dolce & Gabbana terry cotton guest towel. These high-quality towels not only offer superior comfort but also elevate your beachside experience with their distinctive designs and plush textures.

This selection guarantees you achieve a clean, minimalist, and sophisticated look, seamlessly transitioning from urban outings to beachside relaxation with effortless style.

THE LOCAL SWIMMER

This boy is a quintessential blend of laid-back charm and understated style, supporting local swimwear while maintaining a worldly demeanor.

With a preference for swimwear that transitions from pool to beach, this individual embraces practical yet fashionable choices.

The Local Swimmer effortlessly merges relaxed elegance with a commitment to local style. A typical choice of his would be by the Kai Collection. Go for the pink dragon fruit swim shorts showcasing support for an Egyptian brand while adding a splash of vibrant color to your beach attire. Complement these with an Etro off-white Pegaso-embroidered cotton T-shirt for a touch of refined sophistication that maintains a laid-back vibe. For optimal shade and style, choose the white Vilebrequin Boheme cotton bucket hat and Burberry aviator logo-print sunglasses. Ensure skin protection with La Prairie cellular swiss UV protection veil sunscreen, and slip into Giuseppe Zanotti Brett logo slides for comfort with a sleek design.

Accessorize with a pale baby blue Emanuele Bicocchi tiger eye beaded bracelet and the Gucci Grip watch featuring a stainless steel face and signature interlocking GG engraving for a touch of luxury.

Keep your essentials secure with a Montblanc Sartorial logo-plaque leather key fob and protect your phone with a Burga gray iPhone 15 case, but be sure not to leave it in the sun, as it may overheat and require time to cool down before use. Enjoy crystal-clear sound by the crystal-clear waters with the Bang & Olufsen Beosound 2 3rd Gen Home Speaker, which boasts gold-tone aluminum and voice-activated controls via Google Assistant. For beachside practicality, use Off-White’s grey towel with blue accents and don’t forget the handy Coolenator’s mini cooler so you can always have a refreshing sip of your favorite cocktail while enjoying the sun.

This ensemble ensures the Local Swimmer remains stylish, comfortable, and impeccably prepared for any coastal adventure.

THE PUNCTUAL VACATIONER

A little flashback to the early 2000s, as Ashanti would say he’s not always there when you call, but he’s always on time, and he’ll give you his all. That’s essentially the core of what defines the punctual vacationer. He’s the type who meticulously plans every detail, ensuring his wardrobe is as organized as his itinerary and relationships. With an eye for style and a knack for punctuality, he balances sophistication with precision, making sure every aspect of his vacation runs smoothly and seamlessly.

Precision and style go hand in hand. Embrace the theme of timeliness with MC2 Saint Barth coffee and watch-print swim shorts, reflecting his punctual nature even in his swimwear. Complement this look with a pre-owned pink and silver Rolex 2022 Datejust 31mm watch, which, thanks to the CHRONEXT two-year warranty, covers all movement repairs and water damage, ensuring reliable performance. Alternatively, the Alpina Alpiner Extreme Quartz 35.2mm watch offers exceptional water resistance and durability, perfect for a vacationer who values both style and function.

The next pick for this outfit would be a matching  floral-jacquard relaxed-fit cotton shirt by Sandro or the loose pink Marni cotton T-shirt with a striking red logo print, which adds a relaxed yet stylish touch to your outfit. Accentuate your look with the grey Valentino Garavani V-logo signature leather lanyard cardholder, and the Zadig&Voltaire love link leather keyring, to keep your essentials stylishly secured and conveniently within reach. As for footwear, opt for the grey Birkenstock Arizona slides, renowned for their unmatched comfort and sleek design.

Elevate your look with Emanuele Bicocchi’s green tiger eye beaded bracelet and Nialaya Jewelry’s logo-engraved beaded bracelet for a sophisticated touch.

For sun protection, opt for the green Burberry check reversible twill bucket hat and the MDSolarSciences Mineral Moisture Defense SPF 50 suncream. As for elegant eye protection , go for VAVA Eyewear’s green rectangle-frame sunglasses featuring purple details.

At the beach, relax on a rich green Kvadrat x Raf Simons beach towel while enjoying tunes from the BANG & OLUFSEN Beosound Explore speaker.
