I see you enjoy these types of posts, so let’s stay focused on high street pieces for a bit, shall we? I’ve carefully gone through some of my favourite high street websites and selected the best pieces for you. From swimsuits, whether one-piece or bikinis, there’s truly something for everyone. Trendy pieces like animal prints and classic ones from H&M that give off Chanel vibes.

Beach cover-ups are essential, of course. Whether you prefer a classic oversized shirt or are more into sheer maxi dresses, I’ve got you covered. Recently, I mentioned how difficult it is to find good summer dresses, but I finally found some. They sell out quickly, so stay alert. Most of them are low-waist midi and maxi dresses. I’ve written an entire blog post about them if you’re interested in more details.

Don’t forget about trendy bags and accessories. Think chic caps, unique jewellery, and my favourite accessory—sunglasses. These small touches can elevate any outfit and are perfect for completing your summer look.

When I shop for new pieces, I like to imagine the whole outfit first—how I’d wear it, what I’d pair it with, and how often I’d use it. So, here’s a little visual guide to help you out.

First Outfit: A bikini from Massimo Dutti that hints at animal print without actually being one. Pair it with a large raffia bag from Mango to carry all your beach essentials. I’ve mentioned these fantastic oversized aviator sunglasses from Mango multiple times—they’re a must-have. And, of course, classic Havaianas with a modern twist—a square toe detail.

Second Outfit: A white asymmetrical bikini from H&M, paired with a black maxi dress from the same brand. Complete the look with chic kitten heels from Mango and a raffia shoulder bag. This outfit is perfect for lounging by the pool with your favourite book.

I hope you found these high street picks and outfit ideas helpful for your next beach trip. Shopping for the right pieces can really enhance your travel experience, making you feel both stylish and comfortable. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or heading to the beach, having these essentials can make all the difference.
