We picked six Lomon pieces that work together and compared them on what each listing states. For the rest of the range, browse Relax and Beachwear and Outdoor Apparel.

Packing at a glance

Here is where each piece fits in your beach vacation outfits, and what the listings say about fabric and care.

How to plan beach vacation outfits

A beach trip has three dress codes: in the water, around town, and dinner. Cover each with one or two pieces and everything else mixes.

Choose fabrics for heat

Linen, cotton and chiffon breathe. Quick-dry knits make sense for anything that gets wet. Skip heavy denim; it takes ages to dry in humid air.

Plan for sun

Only the rash guard in this list has a stated UPF rating. If you burn easily, add a UPF 50+ shirt from our golf clothes guide to your beach vacation outfits for long days outdoors.

Check the care label

Hotel sinks are your laundry. Pieces that hand wash and hang dry, like the linen pants and skort, are easier to keep fresh on the road.

Seven outfits from six pieces

Mixing is the point of beach vacation outfits. These are combinations the listings themselves suggest or that follow from them.

1. Swimsuit plus the Hawaiian shirt worn open.
2. Rash guard and a swim bottom for snorkeling.
3. Hawaiian shirt tucked into the linen palazzo pants for dinner.
4. Tiered skort with a tank for the boardwalk.
5. Gingham culottes with a white tee for sightseeing.
6. Linen pants with a crop top for a beach bar.
7. Mesh mini dress and sandals for a night out.
