Spending a weekend on a boat is a perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the sea, but it also requires an appropriate wardrobe that combines practicality and style. Here are some tips on how to dress to make the most of your nautical experience, ensuring you are prepared for any situation, from daytime sailing to evening relaxation.
Lightweight and Breathable Fabrics
• Linen or Cotton Shirts: Perfect for staying cool during the day. Opt for light or pastel colors to reflect the sun’s heat.
• T-shirts and Tops: Choose breathable fabrics and versatile styles that can be worn for a lunch stop.
Comfortable Shorts and Pants
• Cotton or Linen Shorts: Ideal for daytime, offering freedom of movement and comfort.
• Loose Pants: A pair of lightweight palazzo pants can be useful for cooler hours or as sun protection.
Swimwear
• One-Piece Swimsuit or Bikini: Choose styles that are comfortable for swimming and sunbathing. This year, sporty details in swimsuits or bikinis with asymmetric cuts are very trendy.
Daytime Accessories
• Wide-Brim Hat or Cap: Protects from the sun and adds a chic touch to your look.
• Sunglasses: Essential for protecting your eyes from the water’s glare. Choose polarized models for clear, glare-free vision.
• Flat Sandals: Opt for non-slip and easy-to-wear footwear, such as rubber sandals or flat sandals, which are also ideal for a sunset aperitif.
Flowing Dresses
• Long or Midi Dress: Perfect for dinner on board or a walk on the beach. Choose fabrics like cotton or viscose that drape softly on the body, or go for a crochet dress that, paired with the right accessories, can be a great ally even for the evening.
Elegant Shirts and Blouses
• Silk Blouse or Detailed Shirt: Add a touch of elegance to your evening with a shirt or blouse featuring special details such as embroidery or puff sleeves.
Light Jackets
• Denim Jacket or Kimono: A light jacket is perfect for cooler evenings and adds a casual style to your outfit.
Essential Accessories
• Canvas or Straw Bags and Totes: Trendy and spacious, they are convenient for carrying both a beauty kit and a change of clothes. Hats and sunglasses are a must; besides protecting you from the sun, they complete every look—don’t forget them!
