Destination Dressing: The Luxe Beach Club Capsule

From the Mediterranean-inspired Shellona to the cult Le Club 55 (of which Brigitte Bardot was a fan), the chicest beach clubs in Saint-Tropez are on Pampelonne Beach, where the waters are as crystal as the glass your Provençal rose is served in. The style mood is refined but relaxed: a palette of chocolate, cream and black hits the right tone. Use Fendi’s striped swimsuit as your starting point, adding a printed pareo by Johanna Ortiz and Chloé raffia hat for the pool, and Whistles’ linen shorts for lunch.

Sat in the bay of Naples, and just a hop across the water from the Amalfi Coast, the island of Capri is all about timeless Italian glamour. Head to Fontelina Beach Club where you can lounge on the sand and take in views of the iconic Faraglioni rock formations before eating seafood under the pergola. As for what to wear? Think airy whites and elegant coastal-inspired touches. Style Hunza G’s navy striped bikini with linen trousers and Bottega Veneta’s lido flats in optic white. Jacquemus’s bateau silk foulard will keep the Mediterranean sun off your head.

From pastel Art Deco architecture to topical fronds dotted along the skyline, Miami is bursting with a bold sunshine spirit. On your list should be Baia Beach Club, where luxe bohemia meets panoramic views across Biscayne Bay. Look the part in Missoni’s crochet bikini and Loewe’s raffia flamenco clutch. Slip into Reiss’s palm-print cami top and coordinating trousers for a cocktail under the striped parasols at Strawberry Moon.

From the palest golden sand, blue ocean and salty air to the fresh seafood eaten against a white shiplap backdrop, it’s no wonder the Hamptons is one of the most iconic beach destinations. Head to Gurney’s Montauk Resort for coastal-cool rooms and the seawater spa. When it comes to your packing list, stick to a classic navy and cream palette and a preppy sportwear-inspired aesthetic with elevating accessories such as Miu Miu’s raffia striped bag.
