I’ve just returned from Saint Bart's—here’s what stylish women are sporting at the beach.

      Regardless of how much you’ve prepared, researched, shopped, or organized your vacation wardrobe, there’s no group quite like the beachgoers of Saint Bart's that can make you reconsider your entire outfit plan. They embody a fashionable and elegantly dressed community, and once you overcome the initial shock and feelings of inadequacy, it’s definitely worth observing and drawing inspiration from their styles. The styling ideas alone—from stylish sandals to bold accessories, vibrant sarongs to timeless bikinis—enhanced the value of my recent trip. There were also numerous other advantages to the journey. Whether you are planning a visit to the island yourself or just seeking a comprehensive beachwear collection for your summer outings, I encourage you to read on and discover the nine essentials your suitcase should include.

      **Crochet Cover-Ups**

      Whether you choose a dress, skirt, set, or a charming cardigan, crochet is a timeless summer staple you will return to year after year.

      - **Monday Swimwear**

       Montego Dress

       If navy isn't your preference, it comes in 11 additional colors.

      - **MANGO**

       Crocheted Shawl With Decorative Buttons

       Wear it as a mini cover-up or as a head accessory.

      - **CALLE DEL MAR**

       Daisy Chain Cropped Crocheted Cardigan

      - **SARA CRISTINA**

       Playa Crocheted Cotton Coverup

       I adore everything from this brand.

      **Beachy Jewelry**

      It's all about the details, so remember to pack your seasonal necklaces, earrings, and other accessories.

      - **CELINE**

       Défilé Shell Necklace in Brass With Gold Finish and Silk

      - **Bimba y Lola**

       Necklace With Shells and Fish

       When it comes to charms, more is definitely better.

      - **Brinker + Eliza**

       On Holiday Earrings

      - **JULIETTA**

       Rhodium-Plated, Shell and Resin Necklace

       Everything looks better in navy.

      **Classic Bikinis**

      I’m thrilled we’ve returned to valuing simplicity, particularly in beachwear. A classic triangle bikini is always a great choice.

      - **Prada**

       Interlock Fabric Triangle Bikini Top

       It doesn’t get more timeless than this.

      - **Tropic of C**

       Equator Top in Smoke

       So simple yet perfect.

      - **J.Crew**

       Scrunchie String Bikini Top

       I feel like brown swimwear is trending.

      - **ERES**

       Les Essentiels Mouna Triangle Bikini Top

      **Fun Sarongs**

      The beauty of choosing simple swimwear is that it allows you to go bold with your cover-ups. What better way to express yourself than with a lovely printed or detailed sarong?

      - This can easily double as a skirt.

      - If color isn’t your style, this option is ideal.

      - **TORY BURCH**

       Printed Cotton and Silk-Blend Twill Pareo

       I truly admire this print.

      - **The Attico**

       Zebra-Print Cotton Muslin Beach Cover-Up in White

       The Attico excels at zebra prints.

      **Chic Headgear**

      This summer, a stylish hat is the essential finishing touch for every beach ensemble.

      - **Miu Miu**

       Crochet Cotton Triangle Scarf

       Miu Miu offers the coolest hats and hair accessories.

      - **TOTEME**

       Raffia-Like Sunhat

       It's sculptural yet simple.

      - **ZARA**

       Fish Embroidery Pompom Scarf

      - **EUGENIA KIM**

       Winona Raffia Hat

      **Mesh Bags**

      While I’m not giving up my raffia totes just yet, this season, I’m definitely leaning towards a mesh bag for the beach.

      - **Tory Burch**

       Small Handwoven Chain Mesh Tote

       Tory’s bags are the most stylish this season.

      - **STAUD**

       Christos Leather-Trimmed Mesh Tote

       I’ve tried this, and it’s even better in person.

      - **Alaïa**

       One Piece Medium Mesh Tote Bag

       It's not just visually appealing; it’s also the perfect size.

      **Balloon Pants**

      I might be partial because I packed these myself, but I noticed them everywhere!

      - **Adriana Degreas**

       Balloon Pants in Black

       You can’t deny she looks well put together!

      - **J.Crew**

       Embellished Balloon Pant

       Just the right touch of embellishment for my taste.
