If that sounds way too familiar, don’t worry because we’re here to help you out!

A floral maxi dress is an absolute must-have…

No matter what people may say, maxi dresses (here and here ) will never go out of style, and it’s more than obvious this year. It’s particularly true for pieces with floral prints, as these are celebs’ and their personal stylists’ absolute favorites when it comes to both spring and summer. Your beach weekend outfits will be incomplete without such a piece, so opt for one in a bold, vibrant color and you’ll undoubtedly nail your perfect combo.

Needless to say, maxi dresses are quite versatile and easy to wear simply because you can match them with literally anything you want – from cute denim jackets and trendy flats for a more casual combo, to an elegant scarf and high heels for a romantic dinner at an exclusive restaurant. No matter what you choose, you won’t make a mistake!

… As well as a boho crochet vest

Boho chic has been one of the leading trends over the last couple of years, and it’s still going strong this year, too. Apart from embroidered peasant blouses and fringed leather jackets, which are the most popular representatives of this trend, there are also beautifully crochet vests that can transform even the dullest outfits into remarkable ones.

Yes, everyone knows that this garment is perfect for a festival season, but you know what? It will complement your beach outfit as well, so don’t forget to get a white crochet vest before your weekend getaway. It’ll look stunning when matched with swimwear of any color and therefore elevate your beach combo to the max.

You won’t make a mistake with luxury swimwear

Speaking of your beach getaway, we simply must mention its most important part – at least when it comes to fashion & style. It is, of course, your swimwear, which is indeed an essential factor that can help you stand out from the crowd and be noticed while chilling at the beach or by the pool. You should also know that opting for luxury swimwear is never a bad option, and monochromatic pieces with stylish cutouts are exactly what you need in your life right now.

As for the colors, there are beautiful pastels like soft blue, gorgeous yellow, and muted pink, whereas black and white are a safe choice you can’t go wrong with. Just be sure to match them with a fashionable kimono or a trendy kaftan (which can double up as a gorgeous top when matched with skinny jeans), and you’ll rock your combos like a true trendsetter!

Wide-leg trousers are your best friends

No matter if you’re an haute couture lover or a high-street fashion fan, you’ve probably already noticed that wide-leg trousers are also making a major comeback this year. These are a true hit adored by millions of ladies worldwide, and their authenticity is what makes them so desirable. You could opt for pieces that feature some interesting graphic prints, abstract patterns, or the aforementioned bold florals, as these are at the top of fashionistas’ must-have list for this year.

Make sure to plan your weekend getaway with these trousers in mind, as these are quite trendy, pleasant to wear, and Instagrammable at the same time. Does it get better than that? We don’t think so!

Don’t forget to properly accessorize

Last but not least, your beach accessories are another important thing you should bear in mind while packing the bags for your trip. Rose gold is one of the trendiest shades this year, so you can incorporate simple yet effective wire bangles into your beach outfits in order to take them to a whole new level. On the other hand, if you’re a fan of statement pieces that feature some shiny gems, you should know that bracelets and long earrings with these are also a fabulous choice.

When it comes to your beach bag, you should pick one that’s big enough to fit all your necessities – but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be trendy as well. Beach bags embellished with vibrant pompoms are always a good idea, so give them a shot and you won’t regret it!

As you can see, there are so many amazing long weekend outfit ideas you can rock at your fabulous weekend getaway this year, so be sure to stick to our tips if you want to nail your clothing combos like a real fashionista. Just bear our guidelines in mind and you certainly won’t fail!

    I have a few long weekends planned this summer so this post was made for me. 🙂 Good luck with your styling business, I’m so excited for you. I have my fair share of floral maxi dresses. They are sexy, chic and oh so comfortable. OMG Now I need a boho crochet vest, very very very cute.
