Beach Day Looks: What to Wear to the Beach

Direct answer: For a beach day, wear a swim brief or a sunga that fits close without digging in, plus a light cover piece for the walk to and from the sand. Pick quick dry fabric, check the size chart on the product page, and pack one suit per day plus one spare.

Build the look

Start with the suit. The BRAVA CALA BRIEFS by KBAYO are a classic swim brief cut, and the Total Noir Briefs by ETHAN UNDERWEAR are a plain, easy brief for all day wear. If you want a lower Brazilian cut, try the Pandora's Night Sunga by JCASTELL. Finish with the Banana Leaves Bandana by KBAYO as a light cover piece for sun and wind.

Fit first

Swimwear should fit close, like a second skin, with a flat waistband and a leg line that stays put when you walk. If you are between sizes, check the size chart on the product page before you buy. Our swim brief fit guide walks through the full checklist, and our sunga guide explains how the Brazilian cut differs from a brief. For larger sizes, start on our 2XL Plus Swimwear page, and check the size selector on each product page before checkout, because sizes move fast.
