One of the joys of summer is attending a beach party in Bali. The sun beats down, the waves lap gently at the shore, you’re dancing and vibing and having a good time.
But what do you wear to ensure you’re the belle (or beau) of the ball? Well, we’ve got some great outfit ideas to help you look amazing at your next beach party.
What To Wear To A Beach Party
Beach Outfits For The Ladies
The good news is that ladies can always look awesome at a beach party.
There’s no need to spend hours on putting on makeup or working out what accessories you need, the objective is to be cool, and comfortable and find things that you can layer over your bikini as the day goes on.
Beach Maxi Dress
Alternatively, opt for a beach maxi skirt with a top of your choice. This opens up your options and means you can slowly layer up over your swimsuit.
Again, you can’t go wrong with this combo for any size or shape of the individual.
Beach Sarong
It’s Bali! What could be better than a Beach Sarong to look awesome in at your beach party?
It’s longer and easier to pull on than a beach skirt, too.
Beach Jumpsuit
These pull-on button-up suits are ideal for quickly covering up a bikini and ensuring that you look awesome as you get ready to dance until dawn.
It’s a pure princess look that allows you to go tight or leave it a bit loose to make you feel gorgeous.
Beach Skirt
If you want to be a little more modest on the beach, a beach skirt is an ideal way to swim without being as revealing as you would in a bikini. It also saves you from having to pack a bodycon dress or the like for later.
Beach Dress
You can’t go wrong with a classic beach dress, and they’re always fashionable. We think they’re always easy to pack too.
Beach Cover Up
A beach cover-up skirt is a long, flowing garment with short sleeves that runs to the ankles. It’s super popular at a beach party.
Beach Playsuit
If you love that elegant French look, then a playsuit is just what the beach doctor ordered for your beach party outfit.
Don’t Forget Your Beach Bag For Your Beach Set
No matter what you decide to wear, you need a bag in which you can put your clothes, sun tan lotion, sunglasses, towels, etc. in.
For The Guys
For guys, it’s all about the classic looks at the beach party.
Hawaiian Shirt & Shorts
Everyone looks great in a Hawaiian combo, and it’s ultra-casual. Choose the right shorts, and you can swim in them too.
Linen Beach Shirt With Chinos
If you want to go a little more upmarket, a blousy linen shirt and chinos accentuated with a hat and sunglasses can give you a classic colonial cool.
Board Shorts And Graphic T-Shirt
If you want to say “surfer,” you can’t beat board shorts and a T-shirt at the beach party.
Swimming Trunks And Trendy Tank Top
Some guys like to go ultra-casual, but what could be more casual than a tank top and some trunks?
Linen Shirt And Pants
Or turn up your beach party style to Michael Caine levels with a linen shirt and pants because not a lot of people know that.
Polo Shirt With Beach Shorts
It’s old school, but if you can’t think of anything else to wear to a beach party, a polo shirt and beach shorts will do in a pinch.
FAQs
What To Wear In Beach Clubs In Bali?
As you might expect from FINNS, the world’s best beach club, we’ve got a complete guide to what to wear in beach clubs in Bali.
It’s all about balancing comfy swimwear for the pool with the right footwear and beach cover-up clothing so that you can instantly transform into somebody dressed for a fine dining restaurant.
You can never go wrong with a beach maxi dress in your beach bag.
What Do You Wear To A Beach Party?
You can use any of our outfit ideas from the list above but there’s nothing to stop you from wearing anything you feel comfortable in to a beach party.
From Beach wide-leg trousers to out-and-out beach flares or a knitted skirt or bodycon dress, there’s nothing that can’t be worn in the summer sun when the waves are lapping at your sandals.
How Do You Dress Classy At The Beach?
We think the trick is to combine your bikini with other accessories and clothes to create a complete outfit that rocks everyone’s world.
Scroll up for outfit ideas but a beach maxi skirt, a maxi dress, a beach shirt, a beach sarong, a beach jumpsuit, a beach playsuit, a knitted skirt, a midi dress, or a beach dress can all help you look super classy on the beach.
What To Wear To A Beach-Themed Party?
It really depends on where you are in the world. While a beach party tends to see you wearing casual clothes and a bikini or trunks under your beach party outfit, a beach-themed party in Scotland is likely to have rather less summer sun than Bali.
The trick is to ensure that instead of wearing a beach set, you opt for accessories that remind people of a beach party.
Put on your favourite maxi dress or beach skirt and rock a summer shirt rather than a winter one. But always keep in mind the real temperature of the place where you’re partying.
What Is A Beach Outfit?
A beach outfit is something you wear to the beach that goes beyond just a bikini or swimming trunks and sandals.
What Is A Beach Party?
A beach party is a party on or next to the beach. There’s nothing more to a beach party than a group of people by the ocean having a good time.
You can organize your own beach party in Bali by just rocking up to a deserted beach late in the day and having fun with your friends.
Or you can come to somewhere like FINNS Beach Club in Bali where there’s a beach party every single night where you can show off all your outfit ideas and have the best of the summer sun as the waves lap against the shore.
Which Colour Dress Looks Good On A Beach?
We’d always go with loose garments that are airy and carry light colours. That is, if you’re in doubt, whites, very light greys, soft yellows, coral pinks and powder blues.
You don’t have to go for washed-out hues, mind you, there’s no need to get hung up on pastel colours.
And mix and match. Your shirt doesn’t have to perfectly match your beach skirt, it’s more about getting the right vibe overall.
How Should I Dress For A Casual Beach Day?
We’d always opt for comfort on a casual beach day. You start with sandals, a bikini or swimming trunks and then add things that make you feel more comfortable in a variety of settings.
After all, you might want to eat in a restaurant, attend an impromptu beach party, or rock up to a rooftop bar to enjoy the summer sun.
What Outfit Is Best For The Beach?
There is no single “best outfit for the beach” though if you don’t, at least, have a bikini or shorts for swimming in, you’re missing out on the chance to have a dip in the waves.
What Do You Wear To A Beach Club Party At Night?
When you’re going to a beach party or beach club party at night, you want to go with something stylish and comfortable. Ideally, you should be able to adapt that beach skirt and shirt you’ve been wearing as needed.
You also, perhaps, want another exterior layer to keep you warm if the temperature drops – a light cardigan or jacket, perhaps.
Final Thoughts On The Best Beach Party Attire In Bali
Nothing says summer like going to a beach party and it’s not hard to attend a beach party looking like a million dollars.
