Here at Candymag.com, we always emphasize the importance of building a capsule wardrobe that has the basics—they serve as the *foundation* of your OOTDs, making it easier for you to create winning outfits.
If you’re someone who frequents the beach, the same mindset applies to your ~island girl~ closet. A carefully curated wardrobe filled with the basics will ensure you have a slew of great, double tap-worthy OOTDs as you soak up the sun and enjoy the waves! Need a guide? Look no further than Erika Rae Poturnak's Instagram feed. The 20-year-old's grid is filled with super cute summer-ready outfits composed of basics that make them easy to recreate.Â
Need some island girl outfit inspo? Keep on reading:
1. Bikini
Of course, a bikini is a no-brainer if you frequent the beach often. Invest in a good pair that flatters your body and makes your skin tone *pop*. Erika usually goes for simple, neutral-toned pieces, but every once in a while, you can spot her sporting a fun printed bikini!
2. One-piece swimsuit
A maillot is also a good investment for your beach wardrobe, especially if you're not comfortable showing off too much skin. Bonus: It flatters pretty much all body types!
3. Cover-up
It can be pretty chilly once you get out of the water, so having a cover-up with you is essential. A loose, flowy one made out of linen will keep you warm while still being fashionable.
4. Wrap-around skirt
Similarly, you can also use a wrap-around skirt to keep yourself modest as you look around the beach. Bonus: It provides a pretty pop of color to your overall OOTD!
5. Flowy pants
Lounging around the resort for the day? Keep yourself comfortable by dressing up in a crop top and loose, flowy pants for that ultimate chill vibe.
6. Minimalist jewelry
Accessories are like the icing on top of a cake when it comes to your beach wardrobe. For Erika, she makes sure to stack minimalist gold jewelry as they complement her complexion.
7. Sunglasses
With our eternally hot weather, sunglasses are non-negotiable in your beach wardrobe. Go for square frames—you can't go wrong with 'em!
8. Bucket hat
Aside from slathering on sunscreen, keep your skin safe from the harmful rays of the sun by wearing a cute bucket hat.Â
