A DAY AT THE BEACH

The beach is not your typical fashionable place. But HYPEED's members show that with a hint of originality, they really manage to stand out in the crowd! They were not afraid to stain their pretty white dresses, or to walk in the hot sand with winter boots! Accessories are also really important, they bring that little extra something! Oh, last thing: reading this fashion feature may be really painful if you're at work. Don't say I haven't warned you!

A DAY AT THE BEACH

White dress from Zara, straw hat is borrowed from her Aunt, slippers from Ipanema

"Nothing beats a good weather, a straw hat, your favorite white dress and a lovely family to spend a day at the beach."

Jessica R.

Mango maxi dress, bag from Aïta, belt from Zara. Scarf worn as headband.

Mireia looks absolutely beautiful in her boho chic look! A scarf worn as headband, a super comfy maxi dress, a natural leather bag, and lots of bangles on her wrists. We all want to copy her style!

What better outfit than a simple white dress to visit a secret beach hidden between the rocks?

H&M top, Promod dress, sunglasses from Cropp, vintage bag and Forever 18 sandals.

Men know how to accessorize their summer outfits! With his simple dark shirt, Jace wears a light hat and the coolest retro glasses. That's a lesson of style for all of us ladies!

"Good times on the South East coast of England! I LOVE my countries coastal spots of beauty – we forget that England has so many amazing beaches!" Clare

hat - Market Thailand

If the weather is not so warm, do like Mc Gallo, and don't be afraid to wear an oversized cotton jacket on top of your crop top and mini skirt.

Denim shorts from blanco, hat from zara, bathing suit from calzedonia, boots from ulanka and glasses from Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Silvia may be having a cool day at the beach, but it's no excuse to forget her fashion sense! Like a celebrity, she won't take her hat and glasses off. She has chosen a unique bathing suit that goes perfectly with her acid wash denim shorts.

A beautiful black and golden bathing suit, a man's shirt on top of it, and Kizzy Kensa looks perfect!

Zara top, Havaianas flip flops

A fierce and stylish sailor!

H&M dress, Nafnaf vest, Pimkie boots

Even at the beach, Aude is stylish! She pairs her light princess dress with an edgy vest and boots, for a soft and rock look!

"As soon as I heard we were gonna spend some days at the beach in an all inclusive hotel I thought: 'there is nothing better than some navy outfit to put me in the mood', some hours later I came out with this combo."

Tatoom

To cover up her navy bathing suit, Leeloo chooses a romantic lace dress, and is not even afraid to sit in the sand.

Denim shorts from H&M, dress worn as top from French Connection, bikini bandeau top from Primark, boots from Sacha, bag is from Kipling, leopard sunglasses from H&M.

"The weather on this day was really amazing, around 30 degrees with a little breeze. When my boyfriend and I went home we also enjoyed a really beautiful and romantic sunset together."

Joyce

Vertigo dress, Mr Price sandals

"You'd never say, but these pictures were taken on a winter's day! We've been so lucky in Cape Town so have some winter days with amazing weather. When I woke up this day and saw the sun shining I knew I had to take advantage of it by putting on a dress and going to the beach! It was so lovely to have a break from the rain and wind and the sea air has a very revitalizing affect on me!" Anthea

The most comfy outfit to wear at the beach is still a tank top paired with denim shorts, as Mary demonstrates. We also like the straw hat and basket!

A polka dots bathing suit, a simple white tank top as a cover up. Simple, right? But Saskia finds a way to bring couture to the beach with her YSL Arty ring!

Thank you to all participants!
