Beachwear Buying Guide

Summer time means going from everyday to vacay! It’s time to find your happy place by the pool or beach and relax. The right bathing suit & beach dress can make or break a beach day. No one wants to head to the beach without feeling and looking their best! With this in mind we made a complete beachwear buying guide to help you choose the perfect swimsuits, rashguards, coverups for all your summer adventures.

Comfort & Fit

Choosing the right swimsuit style & fit will keep you comfortable from sunrise to sunset. Swimsuits with adjustable straps will provide support & keep the fabric from cutting into your shoulders. If you love bikini tops, but want more coverage, a bandeau style with adjustable straps like our Coral Tides Bikini Top may be the perfect fit. 

Fabric & Quality

Quick-drying material is a must for all beachwear. Breathable & high quality fabrics will ensure swimsuits dry quickly and don't cause chafing. A well made rashguard will fit comfortably and last all summer without fading or shirring. Cabana Life’s UPF 50+ fabrics are sun-protective, durable & vibrant! So you don’t have to compromise fashion for function. 

Sun Protection & Function

Long summer days mean more time spent in the sun & higher UVB rays. Sun-protection is more important than ever when we plan to spend day after day outdoors. Having a variety of rashguards, swimsuits and beach dresses with built in sun protection will make staying sun-safe that much easier. Whatever your summer adventures are, don’t put them on pause to recover from a bad sunburn. 

Types of Beach Dresses

What’s a beach day without a beach dress? One of the best parts of summer is getting to wear your favorite sundresses. A dress’s length, neckline & fit will depend on your personal style & day plans.

If you want to play tennis in the morning & hit the pool afterwards, a Navy Stripe Sport Dress may be what you need. But if your summer plans include lounging by the shore and enjoying a book, a long flowing style like the Coral Tides Maxi Dress will keep you comfortable. 

With the right beachwear you can stay sun-safe all summer long! Add your favorite pair of 100% UV sunglasses & a big floppy hat so you’ll be set for the sunny days ahead.
