Casual Chic

By Jaime Capaldi

Step out this summer in Sea Isle City in this chic, beach-ready look from Sands Department Store. If you are spending the afternoon by the ocean, strolling around the shops, or grabbing a bite to eat, this outfit is the perfect choice for any occasion. The Rusty mini dress is an effortless, go-to piece with a breathable design made for the hot weather. With its lightweight material, the dress can easily be layered over your swimsuit as a stylish cover-up, allowing you to go from the beach to evening plans without needing to change. Building on this outfit, the Rusty hat and Blenders Eyewear sunglasses are fashionable yet practical accessories for those days spent in the sun. They will keep your eyes and face protected in style. The lilac tint of the glass lens subtly complements the pink tones in the dress while the hat’s neutral shade ties in the dress’s brown stripes. Continuing with the beach-ready vibe, the Rainbow Sandals are the staple flip-flop across the island. Known for their comfort, durability, and classic design, these Rainbow Sandals are great for walking through the sand or exploring town. Adding a fun finishing touch, you can carry around your favorite drinks in the HydroJug Traveler water bottle. In the summer peach shade, the water bottle adds a bright pop of color while its leakproof design, comfortable handle, and stainless-steel body keep you hydrated throughout the day. Together, these pieces from Sands Department Store create a stylish outfit that blends comfort, practicality, and coastal fun, quintessential for summer days spent in Sea Isle City.
