Shore Trip Starter Pack… No Overpacking Allowed
There’s an art to packing light—and when you’re headed to the shore, it’s all about smart, sultry essentials that serve looks and function. At Bravado, we believe less is luxe. So, consider this your checklist for a shore-bound escape that’s equal parts refined and effortless.
1. The Statement Swimsuit
Start with the silhouette that sets the tone. A black one-piece with asymmetric lines, sheer panels, or a bold cut-out is the ultimate foundation. It’s not just swimwear—it’s an anchor piece you can style with linen trousers or a wrap skirt for cocktail hour by the surf.
2. Sheer Power
Packing layers doesn’t mean sacrificing airiness. Think mesh maxis, breezy gauze sets, or silk kimonos that float with every step. These pieces are designed to move—just like you. And they work whether you're lounging on a yacht or wandering a cliffside market.
3. Oversized Shades
No shore trip is complete without a face-framing pair of sunglasses. Look for angular frames in rich acetates or oversized ovals with a slight vintage lean. These aren’t just accessories—they're armor for paparazzi moments (even if it’s just your friend with an iPhone).
4. Gold Jewelry (Minimal, Not Modest)
The coastal sun deserves competition. Bring a few bold, sculptural pieces: a twisted cuff, domed earrings, or a chain-link choker. Keep the metal warm and the styling intentional. You want gleam, not glitz.
5. The Anti-Tote
Downsize your day bag. A slouchy leather sling, straw mini, or knotted raffia crossbody keeps your essentials close and your vibe streamlined. SPF, lip oil, your room key, and nothing more.
6. One Versatile Sandal
You only need one pair. Think strappy, neutral, and luxe enough to take you from beach club to candlelit dinner. Bonus points for a soft metallic or supple leather that ages beautifully.
7. Coastal Cover-Up Game
Don’t underestimate the power of a good cover-up. Choose a piece that could walk into a gallery and still command the room. A crisp white poplin shirt-dress, a knitted set, or a robe-style kimono in silk-blend—these are your multi-taskers.
8. The Bravado Attitude
Above all, bring your energy. Confidence is your most valuable carry-on. Wear it loud. Let the world know you didn’t come to blend in—you came to make the shoreline your runway.
