Rome was not built in a day. And neither was a beach vacation wardrobe. Rolling eyes are we? I know. I know. The analogy seems too far fetched. But its true. At least with me. Whenever  I have dared to be ambitious enough to think  I will shop for a vacation at one go, I have ALWAYS failed. Sometimes, when on agenda, I have found it difficult to find even the right pair of slippers!!

So, we were going to Seychelles. I had known it for at least 6 months. And I planned for it accordingly. But that doesn't mean  I had everything I needed when we went there :P Will talk about that later! For now, lets see some ideas you can use to pack for that much awaited beach vacation :D

Cotton long skirts

Though shorts are definitely the most practical piece of clothing for beach vacations, they can get boring on a long one. Long skirts with slits are a good alternative. Cotton is the material to go with. Bright colors or bohemian prints can add that extra charm.

Ditch the fit.

Loose is the key. Its a beach vacation and you want as much air as you can get.

Denim shorts are a big NO! Go for colorful linens and cottons

Everyone loves their denim shorts. I do too. But they are just so difficult to dry. And given the "Water water everywhere"  nature of beach vacations (even in the air), you should skip the denim shorts. Go for linens, cottons. Add some color as well.

White is the sexy.

White sands call for white clothes. You have got to blend with the surroundings. Though risky when entering the water, but 100% polyester is water friendly too!
