The beach is one of the best places to meet new friends or future partners. It is a fun and relaxed place to hang out, play outdoor games and meet interesting strangers. But in order to enjoy the beach to the fullest, you need to feel confident and at your best – which isn’t always easy. Without a doubt, it takes a bit of preparation and planning.

If you think you can just rock up on the beach and have everyone swooning and fawning over you then you are either a super-model, or you are about to be in for a big surprise. So, to help you with that preparation, here are a few ideas on how to look your best as you strut your stuff on the sand.

Be Fashionable

As much as you might think that board shorts or bikinis never change in look or style, you would be wrong. Fashion changes constantly and each new summer there will be new cuts and fabrics and patterns available that look better and cooler than the year before. One of the best ways to feel confident is to dress confidently. So stick with a brand you know. If you wore a bikini by Roxy Swimwear Australia last summer and you felt great in it, look to see what new ranges they have brought out this summer. Maybe indulge yourself in a couple of bathers so that you can mix things up as the mood dictates.

Play up your Strengths

As much as you want to be fashionable, it is also important to be sensible. Showcase your assets and downplay your flaws. If you have long and shapely legs then a high-cut bather is a great idea. If you are buxom then go with the bikini. If you are more akin to a beached whale than an Adonis, maybe don’t opt for the Speedo look. These might sound like simple tips but they are important. You want to be a talking point for the right reasons, not the wrong ones.

Prep your body

A visit to the beautician ahead of going to holiday and getting exposed on the beach is always a good idea– and this is advice that applies as much to men as it does to women. For the ladies, it is taking care of the bikini line and having the toenails painted. For guys, it is getting the back waxed. When you are parading around with more clothes off than on, you want to ensure that you are appealing to look at. Prospective partners like to see that you have made effort to look good – make sure that the effort is there to be seen.

Do some activities that will make you Stand Out

Spending time on the beach involves doing things aside from just looking good – so make sure that whatever you do makes you look even better. If you have a great body but limited co-ordination, then maybe you are best advised to sun yourself elegantly on a towel. If you are a whizz with the Frisbee have fun throwing it the length of the beach. There are beach bats to play or surfing to sample. Reading is an option and whatever book you have will say a lot about who you are. The point is, the activity that you participate in has the ability to enhance your look – it is also a great way to start a conversation.
