What clothing and lingerie to take to the seaside

Start with your holiday plans, not the number of items

A packing list for the seaside almost always depends not on the number of days, but on how you plan to spend your holiday. If your trip includes the beach, pool, walks along the promenade, excursions and dinners outside the hotel, your wardrobe needs to cover more than one purpose. Anabel Arto offers not only swimwear for this, but also a separate beachwear category with tank tops, skirts, tunics and other pieces for a resort wardrobe.

The main mistake before a trip is packing lots of random items instead of a small but logical capsule. For the seaside, it is more important that clothing and lingerie work well together, fit easily into outfits and do not require complicated care. This approach is especially convenient when travelling, where every item should work across several scenarios - from the beach to a daytime walk.

Swimwear: better to take at least two

If you are choosing the foundation of your seaside wardrobe, start with swimwear. At Anabel Arto, a swimsuit is a full part of a travel wardrobe for seaside trips, holidays in hot countries and time by the water. The right style helps highlight the strengths of the figure and, if needed, gently balance certain areas.

In practice, this means one simple thing: one swimsuit is usually not enough for a holiday. While one is drying after the sea or pool, you can wear the second without rushing. If you are deciding how to choose a one-piece swimsuit, focus on styles for more active holidays, swimming and moments when you want more structure and a visually complete silhouette. If tanning, freedom of combinations and the ability to vary the top and bottom are more important, it makes sense to look at how to choose a two-piece swimsuit. At Anabel Arto, one-piece styles are often chosen by those who want a more covered and shaping fit, while two-piece styles suit those who value openness and the natural beauty of the figure.

Beachwear: not a decorative extra, but a working part of the wardrobe

After swimwear, the next essential category is light beachwear. At Anabel Arto, this is a separate section with many styles, and the product cards clearly show that a beach wardrobe can include tank tops, skirts, pareos, robe-style tunics and transformer pieces.

Here it is better to think not in terms of what looks beautiful on its own, but what will genuinely be useful every day. For example, the brand’s long beach robe-tunic is a loose-cut style with a removable belt that helps protect from the sun and completes a beach look. A pareo dress and transformer tunic are convenient because they offer several ways to wear them and take up little space in luggage. For the seaside, this is especially valuable: one item can cover two or three functions at once.

What lingerie to take with you

A seaside holiday is not a reason to overload your suitcase with lingerie, but a “just in case” minimum is not practical either. It is better to take familiar, comfortable sets that are easy to wear in the heat and pair with summer clothing. For a trip, it makes sense to pack an everyday lingerie base for T-shirts, sundresses and light dresses, while also leaving space for more discreet and versatile styles if your wardrobe includes thin fabrics or light-coloured clothing.

In short, the suitcase should contain not the dressiest pieces, but the most wearable ones. The seaside means an active pace: heat, changing outfits, humidity, walks and constant shifts in the day’s format. That is why lingerie should be comfortable first of all, rather than reserved for a special occasion.

What to remember after buying

By the sea, the strain falls not only on clothing, but also on swimwear fabric. After contact with the sea or pool, Anabel Arto swimwear is best rinsed in cool water: this helps wash away salt and chlorine, which can gradually damage fibres and reduce fabric elasticity. It is also better to apply sunscreen in advance and allow it to absorb so it comes into less contact with the material. In holiday terms, how to care for swimwear after the sea is just as important as choosing the style itself.

Summary

For the seaside, it is better to pack a clear set rather than lots of items: at least two swimsuits, light beachwear, comfortable basic lingerie and a few versatile pieces for walks and relaxation. This kind of wardrobe works better than a suitcase of random purchases because every item has a clear purpose. When the choice is built around comfort, compatibility and ease of wear, the holiday feels calmer and packing becomes much more rational.
