Vacation time is fast approaching! If you’re planning a Caribbean vacation, these tips can help you accessorize your swimsuit in style.
As the weather starts heating up, many of us are thinking about our next vacation and planning fun in the sun! If you’re lucky enough to be jetting off for a Caribbean vacation this year, you may be wondering how to get the beach look you want so that you can soak up the rays in style.
Taking some time to think about the accessories you’ll wear with your swimsuit on your Caribbean vacation is one of the best ways to make sure that you’ll look as good on the outside as you feel on the inside. Use the tips below to create an effortlessly elegant look that’ll take you from day to night on your Caribbean break.
Head’s Up
Let’s start from the top. A sunhat is vital to help protect you from sunstroke and sunburn and keep you cool by shading your face and the back of your neck. Choose one with a broad brim composed of natural fibers for the best cooling effect. A seventies-style floppy-brimmed hat is a great choice if your swimsuit is a vintage-look bikini. A Panama offers a more contemporary look to match with a sleek one-piece, while a bucket hat is great paired with a tankini or swimming leggings and vest. Alternatively, opt for a wide-brimmed straw hat and add a wide ribbon around the crown in a color that matches your swimwear to make for an effortlessly ‘together’ look.

Vintage-style driving scarves are set to be big news this season, so why not incorporate one of these pretty silk, cotton, or linen squares into your look to quickly move from the sands to a beach bar? If your swimsuit is monochrome, add a splash of color with a scarf in a vibrant shade, such as hot pink or turquoise. If, on the other hand, your swimwear is colorful or patterned, opt for a scarf that reflects these shades or designs to create a beautifully cohesive effect.
Perfectly Chosen Jewelry
Next, consider the jewelry items you’ll pack for your vacation. Ideally, you want versatile pieces that will not only match your swimsuit but also work with your other holiday outfits.
Personalized jewelry is hugely on-trend right now and is likely to stay this way for the foreseeable future: select a simple, elegant chain necklace featuring your name or initials for an easy-wearing style that will look fabulous with your swimsuit on the beach during the day and equally as glamorous exploring the streets of Havana or enjoying a slap-up dinner at a fancy restaurant. See here for some name necklaces that would perfectly fit the bill for your holiday capsule wardrobe.
It’s easy to match jewelry with your swimwear; silver-colored pieces look stunning when worn with black, navy, royal blue, white, and burgundy. You could even take things up a notch with lab-grown white sapphire jewelry. It’s classy and typically matches various outfits.
Yellow gold jewelry also looks amazing paired with black swimwear and is stylish when worn with emerald green, sky blue, red, or purple. For the ultimate luxe look, go for gold on gold to really up the elegance factor.
Stunning Shades for Your Caribbean Vacation
Sunglasses are a must-have holiday accessory. Look for a pair incorporating high-quality UV protection to help shield your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays.
If your swimsuit has a sporty vibe, your best bet will likely be a pair of Aviators or vintage-look Ray-Bans, enhancing your style. If your swimwear is chic and classic, choose cute cat-eye or runway-ready oversized frames for a gorgeous beach ensemble.

Choose a Cover-Up for Your Next Caribbean Vacation
A carefully chosen cover-up will help you move effortlessly through your vacation days without needing to keep returning to the hotel to change. Throwing a cover-up over your bikini or swimsuit means you can head straight to the bar from the beach or take a break from sunbathing to wander the chocolate-box towns in Grenada before heading back to the sand.

A silk sarong in neutral color or a tone that matches your swimsuit is a stylish way to switch up your beach look while giving you extra protection from the heat. At the same time, a sheer cover-up is a neat way to get extra coverage while still showing off your swimsuit. Alternatively, opt for a maxi dress that you can easily slip over your swimwear to easily transition from one part of your day to the next.
Beautiful Beach Bags for Your Caribbean Vacation
Last on our list may be a practical part of your ensemble, but there’s no reason it can’t be stylish. Choose a spacious bag that you’ll be able to fit everything you need for a day spent by the sea, that’s durable and fully lined.
The retro-rattan style bags that are hot right now are perfect, as they can match with pretty much any type and design of swimwear; alternatively, opt for a large canvas beach bag in a color that picks out a shade in your swimsuit: for example, if your two-piece features a blue stripe, select a bag in this hue for a perfectly paired look.
