Wearing the right attire is important when attending a party or special event. Beach casual attire refers to easy comfortable fabrics such as linen, gauze or cotton and open-toed shoes. Beach casual are casual clothes with a light, relaxed feel.

Beach casual attire colors are light pastels and neutrals. Wearing white is a good idea when dressing in beach casual clothing, as is khaki, pale yellow and tan. Black and red and navy can be used as nice accent colors.

Men and women can both wear a polo shirt, button-down shirt, light sweater or jacket. A sundress for women is also appropriate.

Khaki shorts and linen or cotton pants are wonderful for men and women in a beach casual event. A long flowing skirt for women is suitable.

Open-toed shoes are correct for women and men. Flip-flops, sandals and loafers are all good choices. Women can wear a wedge sandal with a wood or cork sole.

Straw hats are suitable for women. Jewelry should be kept to a minimum; a necklace, earrings or a bracelet. Men should accessorize with a belt and a watch.
