There is no one beach dress that ticks all the boxes for every girl. I personally reside in the beach-dress-needs-to-cover-me-up clan because the rest of the time I want to be sunbathing and just in a swimsuit. Others like their beach frocks to be as risqué as their bikinis whilst other just want some basic, casual to throw on and not care about getting covered in suncream and salt and sandal and, well, ice-cream.
A great proportion of the Insta collective have already been taking their summer holidays (LOL—we know they are always away somewhere fabulous) so it means we've had a peek into what's happening on beaches already. So when you've got your swimwear trends all licked, sandals calling out for a pedicure and your holiday packing list almost done and dusted, turn your attention to the edit we have below. From bohemian kaftans to retro crochet, there's a beach dress (or four) in here for you.
