If you want to plan your day at the beach without having to run home and change before you head to happy hour with the girls, having the right beach dress is ideal. You’ll want to choose an outfit that can seamlessly go from a sandy beach to a night on the town, with fabrics that are the perfect balance of casual and cool, and a simple swap of some key accessories. Stash your heels and a good clutch in your beach bag, and in any of these fun frocks, you’ll be ready to simply rinse off and start your night!

A loose-fitting high low swing dress is great for the beach-to-bar transition. The loose fit means that it won’t cling to your body if you get a little sweaty during the day and the whole business in back, party in the front hem makes it the perfect style for both flats and heels. Try this ASOS Swing Dress in Floral Print ($41.43 on asos.com) with this Clear Plastic Shopper with Bright Lining ($58 from asos.com) and some comfy flats like these Kimchi Blue Macrame Slingback Sandals ($19 from urbanoutfitters.com) for the beach. When it’s time to head out, try trading the sandals in for these Bloise Platforms ($69.99 from aldoshoes.com) and a peach Lanosa Clutch ($40 from aldoshoes.com).
