9 Ways Not To Feel Naked On The Beach

It was recently revealed that Ray-Bans got their name because they ban the sun’s UV rays and in the spirit of this discovery we’re celebrating all the ways you can stay hidden from the heat in plain sight of the sun. For those of us that like to tan, but want to remain in control of our beachside exposure consider these nine ways…

1. Classic Rewired

Cut-off denim shorts are to summer what coats are to winter. Add a wide brim straw hat with a flat top to give your year-in-year-out summer go-to's an updated glow.

2. Make Shift

Repurpose an old party dress or vintage babydoll nightdress for a refreshing spin on the beach cover-up, like Olivia Faye Smith has.

3. Ahoy Sailor

Throw straw hats overboard for a more seafaring sun protector as Emily Ratajkowski has.

4. Act Shady

Add the cool factor to any outfit with a wide brim hat and Elisabeth Taylor-worthy specs. Jeanne Damas keeps it breezy in a white cotton vest.

5. Cottoned On

Look to distant shores for beachside inspiration, like the Caribbean where crochet has woven itself a twee-free appeal.

6. Longterm Appeal

Rose Bertram’s crochet dress may be high neck and capped sleeved, but it’s a breezy way of dressing up a simple black swimsuit.

7. Double Trouble

Bella Hadid looked a sheer delight in crochet sweatpants and crop top co-ord.

8. All At Sea

Sami Miro shows long sleeves and sand really do mix by protecting her shoulders from UV rays in a shorn Nasty Gal top.

9. Distant Shores

Nail the salty ethereal look with a loose, humidity-friendly kaftan that allows your pin-up girl bod to shine through.
