Visiting Your Beach Villa? This Is Your Summer’s Coastal Chic Style Guide
The beach is the place to be. It’s the summer season, and whether you’re beach-bumming it up on the sand or catching up with the girls at a water-side brunch, your closet needs some coastal chic fashion pieces.
We’ve got you covered! Stylists from Most Wanted have come through with your go-to beachwear fabrics, colors, and silhouettes to accompany what we think will be your favorite summer accessories, belts, and bags from our collection.
1) Pearled Buckle Chevron Belt
For summer 2024, nothing captures “Coastal Chic Style” like breathable fabrics and natural, beachy tones. The raffia stretch belt trend is a must-have, especially when paired with airy dresses or skirts that bring an easy, elegant vibe. Tan, ivory, taupe, and natural shades are the essentials for achieving the quiet luxury trend this season, giving your outfits a touch of coastal opulence.
One standout look? Pair the Opposites Attract Midi sundress by Stitch and Feather with the Pearl Buckle Chevron Stretch Belt. This combo perfectly balances style and comfort for those sunny days by the sea. Remember to pack key wardrobe colors like ivory, beige, and white, along with chic accessories like a woven rope tote or Seashell Accent Raffia Clutch. Layer on some pearl or shell jewelry to create a pop against neutral tones and elevate your beach look.
This trend-forward style keeps you ready for every summer event—from beach house getaways to pier-side dinners.

2) The Seashell Waist Chain
For the beach-loving fashionistas, nothing completes a coastal look quite like a Cowrie Seashell Waist Belt. Whether you opt for classic white or playful rainbow shells, this accessory instantly elevates a beachy outfit. Pair it with a bandeau top, light shorts, and an oversized button-up for a chic, sand-ready style. For more versatility, layer it with woven belts on a maxi skirt or with a fitted top set, like the trendy options from Revolve.
Finish your look with a coordinating crochet or patterned bag, like a Triangular Woven Tote, to add texture. Don’t forget your favorite cowrie shell necklace—like this one from Lotus and Luna—which perfectly complements the waist belt. For a bold beach statement, wear the belt over a bikini; it’s a look that channels a magazine editorial vibe, making any splash in the waves effortlessly stylish.

3) A Floral Rhinestone Waist Chain
When you think of beach town chic, pearls and rhinestones might seem over the top, but hear me out: glam doesn’t have to dominate your look. A subtle piece like the Floral Rhinestone Waist Chain can add just the right amount of sparkle without overwhelming your outfit or making you look like the boardwalk’s disco ball. Its dainty design is perfect for complementing any linen set or pastel-colored maxi dress for dinner, as well as a printed sarong over your monochrome bikini for daytime fun.
Consider pairing it with ASOS’ drop waist gathered bust dress in baby pink. This laid-back attention-grabber provides ample space for the low waist belt chain, and when matched with the Floral Pearl Satin Case handbag, you’ll elevate your style to new heights. While the bag is ideal for evening events, it can easily stay inside while you enjoy the waves, thanks to its minimalistic pearl embellishments that exude effortless elegance.
Not a fan of pink? No worries!
Switch it up with summer staples like Stitch and Feather’s Maldives set, which offers clean femininity and a monochromatic matching element for a different tonal ensemble. Embrace glam in moderation for a perfectly polished beach look!

4) The Gilded Light Leathers
Light-colored leather with gilded statement buckles is set to define the resort season of 2024, even in 80-degree heat. For a versatile option that transitions seamlessly from your autumn/winter collection into June, try the Skinny Rhinestone Buckle Belt or Metal Strap Holders. If you want a standout piece for the resort vibe, the Seashell Buckle Belt is ideal.
To style a thicker fabric accessory in summer colors, French tuck an airy linen or rayon short-sleeve button-up into high-waisted palazzo pants or pleated shorts. Pair the Nadal Top from Brochu Walker with beige, tan, or taupe pants from Thread and Seed’s Maud Linen set for a chic look. For a laid-back touch, tie a lightweight cashmere sweater over your outfit.
Coordinate your belt with a day bag made from similar materials, like a Woven Crossbody Basket Bag or a woven crochet tote with a leather strap. Finish your look with delicate rhinestone or gold jewelry, such as thin earrings and dainty bracelets. Remember, if the belt isn’t the focal point, opt for thinner styles, but a unique statement buckle can elevate any summer outfit!

5) Boho Coastal Sunflower Concho
For every Cali resort woman, there’s a boho girl enjoying the beach and shopping at flea markets. Embrace conchos, bronze, and crochet for a free-spirited vibe. The must-have accessory is the Sunflower Floral Concho Chain, a bronze-toned belt that brightens any outfit and garners compliments. Pair it with layered necklaces from Peddler Girls Jewelry for added flair.
These boho belts look great with a handkerchief maxi skirt like Free People’s Clover Skirt. For a simpler outfit, choose a white maxi and airy top, such as Ediketed’s sheer knit. Add a coquette-print bandana with lace trim for extra style.
To stand out, wear the sunflower concho belt with a patterned crochet halter top or a neutral-toned slit skirt paired with a fringe bandeau. Accessorize with gold hoops, rings, and a cowry necklace. Complete your look with a crochet bag, like the Most Wanted Crochet Mini Backpack or the Yellow Daisy Crochet Shoulder Bag. No matter your plans, you’ll look stunning and feel connected to nature this summer!
