The weather is getting hotter every day, and while most of us are living in shorts, sundresses and sandals, it doesn’t mean we don’t want to get dressed up every now and then, too. Instead of ditching our go-to summertime attire, try to incorporate your favorite items into nighttime wear. These tips will have you going from the sand to the bar so seamlessly, you’ll wish summer could last all year long.

Add a Trendy Clutch

When you head to the beach, you throw on a sundress over your bathing suit and call it a day. Instead of packing a change of clothes or worrying about stopping at home to change before a night out, throw in your favorite clutch! A bright clutch can add a whole new flair to a simple sundress and will make you feel instantly chic.

Throw on a Light Sweater

Let’s face it: it may be sweltering outside, but as soon as we get inside a restaurant, the air is on high blast and we are freezing! Combat the air conditioning andcreate a great beach to dinner outfit by simply adding a light sweater. Throw it over your shorts or drape it over your shoulders when you have on a sundress and you instantly have a dinner-ready outfit perfect for summer.

Incorporate Bold Accessories

A shorts and t-shirt combo can become instantly trendy with the right accessories. Add statement earrings in a bold color like yellow or red and pair it with a matching purse or shoes. These simple additions will take any daytime outfit—even a simple white tshirt!—to new heights.

Consider a Romper or Jumpsuit

Rompers and jumpsuits are all the rage lately, and they don’t seem to be going out of style anytime soon. Instead of a sundress, consider one of these options instead. They look super stylish for nighttime and can be dressed down over a bathing suit or with a sun hat and sandals.

Stick to Black

Summer in Palm Beach is all about bright colors, breezy fabrics, and this year, tons and tons of gorgeous prints! As the season gets closer, we’re seeing less stripes and gingham and more animals, specifically Florida favorites like flamingo’s and gators, plus pastel colors and tons of accessories.

One of our go-to boutiques for all of our summer needs is Coastal Girls Co. and lucky for us, they’ve recently released some stylish new items. But act quick: these favorites are going fast!
