There are a ton of ways to look great on the beach (working out is one...) but if you're keen on finding out about our little not-so-secret favorite, let us whisper just two words. Come closer, closer: monochrome dressing.
Trust us, it's the quickest route to looking ultra-streamlined, even in the infernal summer heat. Wanna know what we mean? Keep scrolling for tone-on-tone seaside outfits to shop—hue'll love these! (Not apologizing for the pun.)
