"What She Wears" title banner featuring four coastal summer looks side by side: a woman in a blue ruffled bikini reading on a beach lounger, a woman in a blue floral cropped top and matching wide-leg pants on a porch overlooking the beach, a woman in a red and cream floral maxi dress walking a pier with a coastal skyline behind her, and a woman in a striped lobster-graphic sweater and white shorts walking the shoreline at sunset.

Blue & white

ruffle bikini

A classic coastal swim look with a feminine twist. The outfit features a blue-and-white striped bikini with a structured bandeau-style top and dramatic ruffled shoulder straps that frame the neckline. The matching high-waisted bottoms keep the silhouette polished while still feeling playful. Oversized sunglasses and minimal jewelry complete the relaxed resort look.

Blue & white

Printed 2-Piece

This look leans more toward elevated resortwear than traditional beachwear. The coordinated set features a square-neck cropped top with tied shoulder straps and wide-leg, high-waisted trousers in an intricate blue-and-white pattern. A woven crochet or straw handbag with floral detailing adds texture and reinforces the coastal aesthetic.

Red & White

Statement SunDress

This is the boldest look in the group. The white midi/maxi sundress is covered in an oversized red floral and geometric print, creating a dramatic statement without needing much accessorizing. The fitted bodice and thin shoulder straps give it a feminine silhouette, while the full, flowing skirt keeps it easy and summery. Neutral heeled sandals and a small embellished handbag finish the outfit.

Lobster graphic sweater & White Shorts

The final look shifts into casual coastal classic territory. It pairs a relaxed white knit sweater with pale-blue horizontal stripes and a red lobster graphic with crisp white tailored shorts. A light-blue baseball cap adds a sporty element, while the bare feet and beach setting make the outfit feel intentionally effortless.
