Beach Dresses for 2019

So, you're jetting off to somewhere warm and sandy to celebrate the nuptials of your best friend? Not only do you face the worry of suitcase packing, but also the added pressure of soaring temperatures. You obviously don't want a wardrobe malfunction. Do you opt for formal or casual? Firstly ask the bride for the dress code - sometimes it's clear it's flip flops only - so opt for something more casual that's floating and made of a light weight fabric to reflect the heat. Don't opt for black as this absorbs heat. Instead choose light colours, soft pastel shades are perfect. Also avoid reds and bright pinks as these also absorb heat - and sweating profusely isn't a great look. Style notes: Soft pastel shades such as this Mila Elle paired with a matching Dahlia hat by Gina Bacconi with bow and matching Dahlia clutch bag will be perfect.
