When planning your outfit ideas for an upcoming holiday, you can't possibly miss out the beach day (it's literally the highlight). Can you think of a better way to have fun in the sun than some fire outfits?

Sooner than you know it, we'll be digging in the back of our wardrobes to dust off our beloved denim shorts and summer dresses. Just picture yourself right now sitting on the beach, sand in between your toes, the waves hitting the rocks, and the smell of fish and chips in the air - we are counting down the days if you can't tell. So whether you are home or away this summer (remember the airport 'fits), heading to the beach to sunbathe or to surf, these 'grammable outfits will make you even more excited for the hotter days!

A Mini Dress

Hot weather is the perfect time to show off those legs! Ashley Graham looks stunning in this bright orange dress. Pair yours with barely-there heels to create the perfect evening look.

A White Oversized Shirt

Effortless but also effective, the oversized shirt always does the job. Nella styles hers with shorts and platform slides.

Meghan Markle's a fan of With Nothing Underneath, the brand specialising in shirts.

A Knitted Set

A Mesh Cover-Up

Love island girls have always got us covered when it comes to swimwear inspo - and this look is a two-in-one. Pair the classic bikini with a mesh cover-up for days sitting by the pool. Don't forget the sunnies.

Louise Ballou is queen of the little mesh dress.

A One-Piece

If you're into the more simple things in life, this one-piece is just for you. Wolfie Cindy has gone for a red all-in-one paired with gold jewellery.

Arket's swimsuits are of the chic and comfortable variety. We love this square-necked style.

A Two-Piece

A flowy set is the perfect outfit for a full day at the shore. Look for a two-piece with a fun print or bright colour to add some summer vibes. Pair yours with some sandals and a wide-brimmed hat for a chic look.

Opt for a breathable fabric like cotton or linen for a warm day on a sandy beach. Mon is showing us how it’s done in this beautifully patterned dress.
