There is nothing that makes us feel better at the beach or in the pool (other than taking a dip in the water) than a very glamorous blanket. Whether it’s an old-fashioned kaftan, lightweight natural fiber pants, or a chic sarong, a stylish blanket takes your swim look to the next level.

And everyone can’t wait to go back, says Summer saltCEO, president and co-founder of Lori Coulter and brand and digital director and co-founder Reshma Chattaram Chamberlin. “We love cheerful, fun dresses and floral prints that celebrate the joy of the season. And with people venturing beyond their backyards and returning to the world, versatile blankets that range from beach to brunch are in demand. ”

The big trend of this summer? “Outfits that can take you from the beach to the bar include tie-dye kaftans, crochet tunics, and printed day dresses,” explains Durand Screenplay, group vice-president of Macy’s fashion office. You’ll stay cool by the pool and around town with this drawstring white tunic with crochet details.

This beloved t-shirt dress with a tie bottom works as a casual summer look or a beach blanket, and is available in so many colors!

This maxi can be worn with strappy heels as well as with a flip-flop swimsuit. Add a few gold bracelets and you are ready for a date!

With great reviews, this cute and comfy jumpsuit easily goes from beach to brunch.

Also trendy and fresh? “Boyfriend Linen Shirt Dresses,” says Vanessa Youshaei, founder and CEO of Avenue de la Petite. You’ll look crisp and relaxed in this white cotton shirt-style blanket.

This versatile blanket can be worn open over your suit at the beach and buttoned up as a dress or top for the evening – multitasking for any summer vacation.

Another great holiday multitasking, this loose fit airy pom pom top ties over your swimsuit, but can also be paired with shorts for a cute brunch look.

If you’re more interested in covering your bottom half, “Palazzo pants are another favorite and look great with all of our swimwear,” Chamberlin and Coulter explain. You will feel so chic in these high waisted wide leg pants with a tie waist. And they’re great for travel: wrinkle-resistant, antimicrobial and anti-static.

Perfect for donning and then tossing in your bag, these wide leg camouflage pants are already wrinkled so they will travel easily and keep your legs warm on a blustery summer night.

Lightweight and 100% cotton, these pants will keep you cool and comfortable on hot days and nights – and they have pockets!

Give a bohemian touch with these orange beach pants with a shiny check pattern.

Show what you got, said Guion. “A tunic or kaftan is ideal – consider one in sheer fabric to get the credit of the bikini underneath. »Available in over 30 prints, this kaftan flows beautifully for a gorgeous poolside look.

If you’re petite, look for “shorter coverage clothes that don’t go beyond the knee,” says Youshaei, and this leopard-print kaftan is perfect for the look.

Another cute shorty kaftan, this easy-to-wear number has a drawstring that you can adjust for a cinched look or leave it loose and flowing.

We would 100% wear this waist-boosting dress from the beach to brunch, or just brunch.

Available in nearly 20 prints, this beach shirt dress can be worn loose over a swimsuit or cinched over a bodysuit (or not!) For a cute look.

The crochet rainbow accent cascading down the front of this blanket just screams summer, and we’re here to add some gold hoops to complete the look.

Wrap yourself in a beautiful sarong, which is worn around your waist or above your chest, giving you plenty of options. “The beauty of most camos is that the silhouettes are intentionally crafted into looser, more flowing styles, creating a soft drape effect that flatters most body types,” Guion explains. Keep it short and sassy with this slightly sheer cropped sarong that has tassels that will sway as you walk to the beach bar.

Wrap this “sheer yet strong” sarong around your waist, shoulders or top for an easygoing beach look.

This gorgeous statement designer is ready to pair with your favorite costume as a blanket or with a white tank top for a cute summer outfit.
