Summer is just getting started, and the days just seem to get hotter and hotter. The bright side to the warmer weather is that there are plenty of beach days ahead of us to play in the water and cool down. If you’re planning to hit the beach or pool during the summer months to soak up some rays, make sure to take along some beach dresses. They offer versatility because you can dress them up with some flashy sandals and accessories or keep them casual with some flip-flops and a sunhat, allowing them to suit the needs of any beach you visit.

Also, note that white dresses look especially great in photos when you hit the beach, so plan ahead to set up some Insta-worthy moments. 

Dress Tip: Keep in mind that it can be quite windy at the beach, so consider wearing some shorts underneath in case you have a Marilyn Monroe moment.
