One Event, Three Ways is a new column where we take fun events and life moments and create picture perfect outfits in three different styles, perfect for staying true to your aesthetic!

I’m here to be the bearer of bad news: Your carefree beach days are limited. 

Summer, after all, will soon come to a close (sob!), so now is the perfect time to grab your friends and head out to the beach or the nearest pool, if you’re not close to a shore. 

While you’re at it, don’t neglect your personal style. We’ve put together some looks for you that are comfortable and can take you from the beach to a date or a family function with no problem.

Beach Day Outfit Idea: Eclectic Girl

Products: Bathing Suit – Groupon, Jean Jacket – Charlotte Russe, Sunglasses – Amazon, Sandals – Hollister

A little bit boho, a little bit trendy, a whole lot stylish, this look is meant for the stylish girl at the beach. (You could slip shorts over the bikini bottoms to make it appropriate for dinner after the beach). With the long jean jacket, this look is also perfect for a get-together with friends on a warm night, around a bonfire, after a day of swimming.

The retro bikini is eye-catching with its understated top and colorfully patterned bottoms. The sunglasses and denim jacket lend some cool girl vibes to the look, and the sandals keep it simple and grounded without going overboard.

Beach Day Outfit Idea: Preppy & Classic

Products: Shirt – Aeropostale, Shorts – H&M, Bathing Suit – Unique Vintage, Sandals – Hollister

Maybe it’s just me, but this one-piece bathing suit gives me some serious Marilyn Monroe vibes. It’s one of those swimsuits that you could almost wear as a traditional bodysuit (after you dried off, of course).
