Beach Ready: Essential Clothing for the Summer Season

Your Ultimate Guide to Stylish, Comfortable Beachwear with Myer Street Fashion

Summer is here, and with it comes the irresistible call of the beach. Whether you're a Lakes Entrance local or planning a coastal getaway, having the right clothing makes all the difference in how comfortable and confident you feel. At Myer Street Fashion, we believe beachwear should be effortless, flattering, and functional — and a reflection of your personal style.

Located on Myer Street in Lakes Entrance, and available online at myerstreet.com.au, our summer collection is designed with Australian lifestyles in mind. From lazy beach days to foreshore markets and evening drinks overlooking the water, we’ve curated everything you need to enjoy the season in style.

Here’s your complete guide to building the ultimate beach-ready wardrobe — without sacrificing comfort, confidence, or cool factor.

1. Swimwear That Moves With You

Swimwear is the heart of your beach look, but it should do more than just look good poolside. At Myer Street Fashion, we prioritise swimwear that flatters, supports, and feels as good as it looks.

What to Look For:

• Supportive one-piece swimsuits that provide comfort and confidence, especially when you’re active in the water.
• Mix-and-match bikinis, allowing you to personalise fit and coverage to suit your body and style preferences.
• High-waisted bikini bottoms, which offer more support around the midsection while creating a classic, feminine silhouette.
• Rash vests and long-sleeved swim tops for extra sun protection without compromising on style — perfect for paddleboarding, snorkelling, or simply lounging under the Australian sun.

Every body is a beach body, and our swimwear range offers a variety of cuts and sizes so that every customer can find their perfect fit.

2. Cover-Ups That Transition with You

Once you've had your dip in the ocean or spent time soaking up the sun, you'll need a stylish cover-up to take you from beach to café or local shops.

Our Top Picks:

• Flowy kaftans in lightweight materials. These are perfect for throwing on over your swimwear and make you look instantly polished.
• Oversized linen shirts that can be worn open or tied at the waist. Easy, breathable, and on-trend.
• Sarongs, one of the most versatile beach items you can own. They can be styled as a skirt, halter top, or shoulder wrap.
• Crochet tunics and mesh dresses that allow your swimwear to peek through while offering texture and visual interest.

Cover-ups can be styled up or down, and when chosen well, they become staple pieces in your broader summer wardrobe — not just for the beach.

3. Bottoms That Go from Sand to Street

When it comes to covering up your lower half at the beach, it’s best to choose pieces that are breathable, flattering, and practical. This is especially important if you’re moving between beach and street.

Our favourites include:

• High-waisted linen shorts that feel breezy and structured at the same time.
• Flowy midi skirts that offer freedom of movement and a touch of femininity.
• Wide-leg pants or culottes made from light fabrics for maximum comfort with a chic silhouette.

Choosing items in neutral tones or easy-to-match colours like white, beige, khaki, and navy means you can mix and match with minimal effort.

4. Footwear That Balances Comfort and Style

Shoes can make or break your beach outfit. You’ll want something that’s easy to slide on, won’t get damaged by a little sand or water, and still looks put together.

Footwear we recommend:

• Slide sandals in neutral leather or rubber for a laid-back yet stylish vibe.
• Espadrilles with a rope sole and canvas upper for a slightly more dressed-up daytime look.
• Classic flip-flops for those truly casual beach days.
• Minimalist strappy sandals that work for both beach lounging and dinner by the water.

Choosing supportive soles and soft materials will help keep your feet happy all day long, especially if you’re walking to and from the beach or exploring the local shops.

5. Accessories That Elevate Function and Fashion

Beach accessories aren't just about aesthetics — they're essential for protecting yourself from the sun and carrying your essentials.

Must-Have Beach Accessories:

• Wide-brimmed hats or straw hats for maximum shade and style.
• Sunglasses with UV protection in trending silhouettes like round, oversized, or cat-eye frames.
• Oversized beach totes that can carry your towel, book, water bottle, snacks, and sunscreen.
• Lightweight jewellery such as resin bangles, shell earrings, or waterproof bracelets to add interest without fuss.

Keeping a few versatile accessories in your summer bag allows you to switch up your look without needing a full outfit change.

6. Choose the Right Fabrics for Summer

The Australian summer can be intense, so fabric choice is key. Whether you're swimming, walking, or relaxing in the shade, breathable materials will help you stay cool and comfortable.

What to look for:

• Natural fibres like cotton, bamboo, and linen for their moisture-wicking and cooling properties.
• Quick-dry materials for your swimwear and cover-ups to help you transition comfortably between water and land.
• Light-coloured clothing to reflect heat and sunlight rather than absorb it.

At Myer Street Fashion, we prioritise ethically sourced, skin-friendly fabrics that not only feel good but also stand the test of time.

7. From Beach to Bar: How to Transition Your Outfit

One of the best parts of a great beach wardrobe is its ability to move from the sand to a sunset dinner with just a few simple changes.

Quick outfit transitions:

• Slip a belt and pair of wedges onto a kaftan for an instant upgrade.
• Add a light blazer over a singlet and shorts for a lunch-appropriate look.
• Swap out your flip-flops for heeled sandals and throw on a statement necklace for a night out.

By choosing versatile pieces and adding accessories, you can take your look from casual to sophisticated in minutes.
