30A Outfits and Favorites From Spring Break
Hi friends! Today’s blog is for all my beach lovers. We recently took a family trip to 30A for spring break to soak up the sun and sand, and it couldn’t have been more fun! From morning coffee runs to sunset dinners by the water, I loved getting to style outfits for every part of our beach getaway. So, I thought I’d round up some of my favorite looks from the trip that are perfect for any coastal adventure. Whether you’re planning a vacation soon or just dreaming of ocean views, I hope these outfits inspire your next beach escape!
Outfits for Morning Walks or Coffee Runs
DRESS | HAT | PHONE CASE
One of my favorite 30A activities is going on a nice, long beach walk or heading out to grab a coffee. For outings like these, I always reach for outfits that are easy to throw on but still look put together. Athletic dresses are my go-to, and I’ve been loving this pretty pink one I found at Target. It’s comfortable, flattering, and has the sweetest scalloped detailing on the back. Just add a baseball cap, your favorite sneakers, and you’re good to go!
When you don’t feel like slipping into a dress, a matching set is the next best thing and, honestly, just as cute! This teal set from Old Navy is such a gem. The color is vibrant and summery, and the fit is super flattering without sacrificing comfort. I also love that sets can get so much wear! You can mix and match the pieces with others in your closet for a whole new look. It’s like getting multiple outfits in one!
I also wanted to share a slightly more elevated look that I wore while grabbing coffee and shopping around the beach! This striped midi dress from J.Crew is absolutely darling. The gauze fabric gives it such effortless movement, and I just love how flattering the neckline is. I styled it with a neutral cardigan for a cozy layer and added a pop of color with my favorite pink kicks. It’s comfortable, cute, and perfect for a day out shopping by the shore!
SWIMWEAR/COVER-UPS
What’s a beach trip without a little swimwear styling? This look is one of my favorites. It’s fun, effortless, and made up of super-versatile pieces. Let’s start with this stunning red swimsuit from Nordstrom. It’s simple, flattering, and such a timeless piece to have in your collection. For a chic cover-up, I opted for this sarong from Amazon. I love it so much that I’ve already snagged it in multiple patterns! To add a bit more coverage (and a stylish layer), I threw on this breezy linen button-down from J.Crew. And, of course, no beach look is complete without accessories: seashell-embellished sandals, a classic straw tote, and a sun hat to top it all off!
Wanted to share another cover-up option for you guys that’s easy to grab on the go and offers a lot of coverage. This maxi skirt dress is such a gem! It’s lightweight, flowy, and stylish. I love that you can just slip it on over your swimsuit, and it instantly looks put together. It’s perfect for heading to lunch straight from the beach, walking around town, or lounging by the pool. Add a cute pair of sandals, a straw hat, and some sunnies, and you’re beach-day ready!
DINNER/EVENING WEAR
TOP | SKIRT | CARDIGAN | SANDALS
There’s nothing I love more than getting ready and dressing up for dinner after a long, relaxing beach day. I mentioned earlier how much I love a good set, and this one from Anthropologie is absolutely stunning. The soft light denim hue is perfect for a coastal evening, and the pleated skirt adds the prettiest touch of dimension and movement. I styled it with a pair of sandals and layered a lightweight cardigan over my shoulders to keep cozy once the ocean breeze rolls in.
Next is a showstopper of a dress that speaks for itself! I’m obsessed with the pink floral pattern all over this navy blue nap dress from Hill House. It’s such a flattering silhouette filled with delicate feminine details like ruffled sleeves and a contrasting color hem. This is the kind of dress you can throw on and instantly feel put together. I styled it with sandals, a clutch, and statement earrings. Perfect for dinner with a sunset view!
Beachside dinner date night? Say less! This pink linen scoop dress from Quince is the epitome of effortless and elegant. The silhouette is simple yet chic, making it the perfect canvas for styling. I paired it with a rattan purse, neutral wedges, and a pearl statement necklace to elevate the look while still keeping it breezy and beach-appropriate. And can we talk about Chris? He looked so handsome in his linen floral button-up and classic khaki pants — the perfect complement to my look. Together, we felt polished but relaxed, ready to enjoy a romantic evening by the sea!
