What to Wear on a Coastal Holiday (Especially Over 40)
Share
Because comfort, confidence, and coastal glam should go together.
There’s something magical about planning a coastal holiday. The salty breeze, the sunshine, the long lunches. But let’s be honest — if you’re anything like us, the packing part often brings up some less-than-glamorous questions:
- What still fits?
- What’s flattering without being frumpy?
- Will I feel confident getting into this?
- Can I look stylish without sacrificing comfort?
At Marisol Luxe, we get it. Dressing for a coastal getaway in your 40s, 50s and beyond isn’t about covering up — it’s about showing up in style that feels just right for your body and your lifestyle.
✨ Here’s What We Recommend Packing:
1. A Flattering, Flowy Dress
Look for a soft silhouette that skims the body without clinging.
Features like ruched waists, asymmetrical hems, or a light drape flatter the midsection and create a beautiful shape — without Spanx.

2. A Statement Hat + Sunglasses
Protect your skin, elevate your outfit. A wide-brim hat and oversized sunnies instantly pull your look together — and hide the jet lag.
→ Pair any outfit with our beach-ready accessories
3. One Effortless “Throw-Over” Piece
Whether it’s a kaftan, kimono or lightweight shirt dress, a go-to throw-over takes you from breakfast to beach to cocktails. Ideal for layering and sun coverage.
4. Neutral Sandals That Go With Everything
Avoid packing five pairs of shoes. One great pair of neutral-toned sandals will work with your whole holiday wardrobe.
💬 Real Talk:
We’re not here to sell you trends that don’t work for real bodies. Every item we stock at Marisol Luxe is handpicked because it’s beautiful, wearable, and something we’d actually wear ourselves.
