Versatile Designer Beach Dresses From Morning Until Night

On vacation, you need designer beach dresses that can work overtime! Therefore, dresses that can cover your bikini and be worn around town, and even to dinner, are a dream come true. Luckily, we’ve found plenty of them! Like the embroidered lace cover-up by Peixoto. This adorable mini is the quintessential beach dress. Firstly, it slips effortlessly over your swimwear for walking to and from the beach. Secondly, it’s a genuinely pretty, little black dress you could happily wear for sightseeing, lunches, and practically everything in between. Go barefoot on the sand in this dress, then slip on your favorite flat leather sandals for everything else. Hint: we’ll be pairing ours with the leather strappy slides by Saint Laurent.

Alternatively, lovers of color are in for a treat with the Alissa tiered maxi by Anthropologie! This vibrant pink floral dress is one of the prettiest on our list. It has a gorgeous plunge v-neckline, a low back, and button-through detailing. Therefore you can wear it closed or leave a few buttons undone to showcase your legs! Additionally, we can’t take out eyes off of the painterly pink and orange print and floaty tiered skirt. So, wear this barefoot, with flats, or style it up with heels. We recommend the metallic knotted ankle strap sandals by Salvatore Ferragamo to compliment your look for dinner!
