The most beautiful looks inspired by the sea
Palm tree prints, shell earrings and flamingos – who doesn’t get holiday feeling when thinking of this? Maritime clothing, shell appliquĂ©s and raffia bags not only look wonderful in the holiday destination, but also sweeten our summer days at home. So let’s dive into the world of summer fashion inspired by the sea and the beach!
1. Sea prints & palm tree patterns: beach feeling on your clothes
Sea prints and palm tree patterns are an absolute eye-catcher in summer. Whether on dresses, blouses or skirts – the motifs range from corals and starfish (e.g. via TopVintage*) to elegant palm leaves (e.g. via TopVintage*). These prints add a refreshing touch to any outfit and are simply perfect for a day at the beach or a relaxed stroll through the city.
Styling Tips:
- Dresses with sea prints: An airy maxi dress with a sea print or a combination of crop top and maxi skirt (e.g. via Mytheresa*) is ideal for a walk along the coast. Pair it with simple sandals and a straw hat for a relaxed look.
- Tops, blouses and skirts: A light top with a cool lobster print (e.g. via TopVintage*) can be wonderfully combined with a plain skirt. This look is even suitable for the office, but also perfect for a summer dinner or simply a stroll through the city. This brings the beach feeling straight to your home!

2. Shell earrings, necklaces, etc.: jewelry with a holiday feeling
Nothing screams summer more than jewelry in the shape of shells. Shell earrings are the perfect accessory to add a nautical touch to a simple outfit. They come in a variety of sizes and designs, from delicate pearl pendants to eye-catching statement pieces. But necklaces and bracelets with shell applications also embellish our summer looks in no time.
Styling Tips:
- Statement Earrings: Large shell earrings look great with off-the-shoulder tops or dresses. They draw attention to the face and create a real wow effect.
- Delicate pendants: For a more subtle look, simply choose smaller shell pendants. These can also be wonderfully combined with other maritime jewelry such as bracelets with anchor or starfish motifs.

3. Handbags with nautical accents
Bags made from natural materials such as straw or raffia are particularly popular during summer and harmonize perfectly with the sea theme. Of course, they can be decorated with shells, ropes or anchor motifs. 🙂
Styling Tips:
- Straw and basket bags: These classics go well with both beach outfits and city looks. A basket bag with a shell print (e.g. from Dolce & Gabbana via Mytheresa*) is a versatile companion that gives every outfit a summery touch.
- Sea clutch: A small clutch in the shape of a shell (e.g. via Mytheresa*) is suitable for the evening. It is not only practical, but also a real eye-catcher.

4. Sandals with shell appliqués
No summer wardrobe is complete without matching shoes. Flat sandals with shell appliqués are not only comfortable, but also a fashion statement. They go perfectly with the maritime outfits and bring us that beach feeling a little closer with every step. Alternatively, I recommend so-called jelly sandals, i.e. sandals made of plastic, which can be easily washed off and are therefore ideal for the beach.
Styling Tips:
- Flat Sandals: Ideal for a relaxing day at the beach or in the city. Combine flat sandals with shell appliqués (e.g. via Mytheresa*) with an airy dress or shorts for a casual summer look.
- Heels: For a dressier occasion, choose heels! Wedge heels (e.g. via Mytheresa*) are particularly practical and comfortable. They go perfectly with a chic summer dress or an elegant jumpsuit.

5. Stylish swimwear with a sea print
The beach look is perfectly complemented by stylish swimwear with a sea print. Regardless of whether it is a bikini or a swimsuit – sea motifs are of course also an absolute eye-catcher in swimwear. These prints give the bathing outfit a fresh and cheerful touch and make every visit to the beach or pool a fashionable highlight.
Styling Tips:
- Bikinis with a sea print: A bikini with a coral or wave pattern is a real eye-catcher. Pair it with a lightweight kimono or pareo for a stylish beach look.
- Swimsuits: An elegant swimsuit with a starfish or seashell print is both practical and fashionable. Wear it with a large straw hat and sunglasses for a glamorous appearance.
