When planning a winter escape the focus is on loose silhouettes or, at the very least, slightly less fitted than one’s usual preferences to help keep things from getting too shitvzy. Of course killer swimwear, go-anywhere separates, comfortable shoes that you won’t destroy with sand, a sun protecting hat and a versatile beach bag are all must-haves.
