What to pack. One of the most important factors when preparing for a beach vacation. Pulling off an effortless look to complement a carefree beach locale can make relaxing seaside all the more enjoyable. But jewelry you’d wear to a winter party in the city may not work for oceanfront lounging or sunset strolls on the beach.
With that in mind, here are three ways to keep it simple yet stylish when packing beach jewelry for your next vacation.
Opt for delicate pieces to avoid tan lines
Obtaining that glorious golden glow from soaking up a little sun, is always a bonus when on a beach vacation. Unattractive tan lines are not. Tan lines can be distracting and may throw off the look of a perfectly planned ‘vacation outfit’. Chunky bracelets, necklaces, or watches, and large pendants can make more than just a statement. After time in the sun they can leave their mark – on you, in the form of tan lines.
Choose beach jewelry that will help you avoid this altogether. Select a delicate necklace or a slender pendant, like the Petite Sandbar Lariat Necklace for a tan line free time.
Bring complementary colors and styles to suit your suit
Yes, relaxing on the beach is meant to be a laid back experience, so the jewelry you bring shouldn’t be too fussy. But, you do still want your look your best! An easy way to accomplish this is to choose jewelry that couples nicely with the colors, patterns, and style of the clothes you’ll be spending the most time in – your bathing suit and cover-up.
Color combinations are easy to do. For example, if your bathing suit is pink, the Sand Jewel Necklace – a heart shaped pendant filled with pink sand, would be an easy way to complete a great vacation outfit. And, color is not the only way to coordinate, matching a motif or style are also options. For instance, a flowy cover-up, that moves easily in the sea breeze could be paired with a necklace or earrings that evoke the ocean as the Sterling Wave Earrings do.
Pack pieces that pair with your destination
The anticipation of vacation is almost half of the fun, but packing for it can seem like a chore. A great way to get over the packing blues is to select pieces inspired by your beach destination.
You can be subtle in your selections by bringing a simple Sterling Sea Fan Ring or you can go all out and choose an eye-catching piece like the Natural Sand Dollar Necklace or even the vacation-inspired Sterling Shaped Flip Flop Necklace.
