4 Chic Coastal Outfits for Any Occasion

1. Coastal Outfit for Running Errands

When we’re running errands, we like to look put together, but in a casual, “it’s the weekend” type of way. That being said, your errand-running uniform usually consists of a comfy pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a light sweater (if the weather isn’t too warm). To complete the look, we always pair a comfortable lifestyle sneaker, because we’re most likely running around town picking up things or looking around at shops.

2. In-Office Coastal Girl Outfit

For an in-office look, a linen suit set is the perfect look for the warmer months (if you’re reading this in the winter, opt for the same sort of look but in a thicker material). Pair it with a t-shirt or cami underneath. Throw on some sandals, your favorite jewelry, and a handbag to complete the look.

3. Night Out Outfit

When we’re going out at night, it’s always fun to piece together an outfit. For a chic coastal girl outfit, pair a sequin skirt with a cute cami, kitten heels, and some jewelry. Complete the look with a small clutch or handbag — only to carry the essentials.

4. Coastal Lounging Outfit

On the days you just want to lounge around and be lazy, there’s still a cute and cozy way to check the chic coastal aesthetic off your list. Opt for some cozy sweatpants, a graphic top, a sweatshirt for layering if it’s a bit chilly, and some cute woven slippers. We can’t think of a better way to lounge!
