A beach shirt is one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe - effortlessly cool, endlessly wearable, and perfect for more than just the shoreline. At Beach Cafe we love pieces that transition seamlessly from beach to brunch, and the beach shirt does exactly that.

Here’s how to style yours beyond the sand.

1. Poolside Perfection

Layer your beach shirt loosely over a designer bikini - think Seafolly, Away That Day, or PQ Swim - and leave it unbuttoned for an effortless, undone vibe. Add oversized sunglasses and slide sandals for an easy poolside look.

2. Brunch-Ready Layers

Once you’ve dried off and swapped the sand for the city, style your shirt with denim shorts, linen trousers, or a flowy skirt. Tie the front in a knot, roll up the sleeves, and add statement gold jewellery for that relaxed, yet refined, aesthetic.

3. Evening Elegance

Take your look from day to night by layering your beach shirt over a sleek one-piece swimsuit or bodysuit. Add tailored trousers or a sarong skirt, swap sandals for espadrilles, and you’re ready for sunset cocktails.

4. The Ultimate Travel Essential

Beach shirts pack light and wear beautifully - making them a holiday must-have. Opt for neutral tones for endless mix-and-match potential, or bold patterns for a statement look.
