What is Beach Formal?
Beach formal is a dress code for seaside events combining elegant attire with practical considerations for sand and ocean settings.
Beach formal (or "beach elegant") is a dress code for upscale events held at beach or waterfront locations. It balances formality with the practical realities of sand, sun, and ocean breezes. For women, flowing maxi dresses, elegant midi dresses, or dressy jumpsuits in lightweight fabrics work well, along with wedge sandals or embellished flat sandals. Men can wear lightweight suits in tan, gray, or light blue, linen dress pants with a dress shirt, or even well-fitted khakis with a blazer. Avoid heavy fabrics and stiletto heels that will sink into sand.
