Memorial Day weekend looks: coastal edition 🌊

If Memorial Day Weekend had a dress code, these GAP dresses would be it. Breezy, effortless, and perfectly sun-soaked, each one gave major coastal energy that had me dreaming of beach walks, iced drinks, and golden hour selfies by the shore.

From lightweight linen blends to soft cotton silhouettes, every dress felt like a warm breeze in clothing form.

Whether you’re spending the long weekend seaside, park-side, or just sunbathing in your backyard pretending you’re in the Hamptons (aka me), these are the dresses that make it feel like a vacation.

PLUS, IT IS ON SALE!!

... Read moreAs Memorial Day approaches, many are looking to refresh their wardrobes with coastal-inspired outfits. This long weekend is a time for relaxation, barbecues, and beach outings, making it the perfect opportunity to showcase dresses that capture the essence of summer. Lightweight linen and soft cotton are essential materials to look for, as they provide comfort and breathability during warm weather. Popular colors like butter yellow, ocean blue, and soft pastels resonate with the seasonal mood, inviting you to bask in the sun. Pair these dresses with stylish sandals or espadrilles and a light cardigan for those cooler beachside evenings. Accessorizing with woven bags or beach hats can enhance your look, making you ready for brunch or a stroll along the shore. Don't forget to check for sales, as many retailers offer discounts leading up to the holiday, allowing you to pick up these must-have styles for less. With the right pieces, you can effortlessly transition from beach days to evening gatherings while looking chic and relaxed.

I was struck by the curve of this fence and the long shadows of the dune grasses. You can see the original pic on the next slide, but I think it looks more dramatic here with the colors dialed way down. I think it adds to the look of a bleached out beach scene. Which do you prefer? #coastal
