o shirt, no shoes, no thank you! Summer 

fashion is way too cute to pass up. Living at 

the beach lends itself to a casual wardrobe, 

but casual doesn’t mean it can’t be chic as 

well. There are so many amazing places to shop for 

men, women, and children throughout the Emerald 

Coast. From quirky vintage shops in Fort Walton 

Beach, to outlet shopping in Destin and unique 

boutiques scattered throughout South Walton, there 

are options for everyone and every style. Shopping can 

be a fun family outing. Whether you are strolling the 

outdoor shopping centers or wandering through the 

picturesque alleys in Rosemary Beach, you are sure 

to enjoy the experience. You can always fi nd exactly 

what you are looking for when shopping here, and 

probably a few things you never thought you couldn’t 

live without! 

There are many one-stop shops in the area that carry 

all of your beach wardrobe needs. From bathing suits, 

to cover-ups, beach bags, shoes, hats, sunglasses and 

accessories. There are lots of options for looks that can 

transport you straight from the beach to happy hour. In 

most areas, owning one or two bathing suits will suffi ce. 

Not living here in paradise! Residents of the Emerald 

Coast spend the majority of their time worshipping 

the sun along the sugar white sandy shores. When you 

spend so much time at the beach, you’ve got to step 

up your bathing suit game. One pieces and vintage 

styles are back in a big way for women and there are 

silhouettes to fl atter every body type. Men are seeing 

a lot of pattern in swimwear. Florals, palm leaves and 

stripes are a fun new twist for men this season. There’s 

nothing cuter than a child’s bathing suit! Another trend 

being seen this season is coordinating suits for men, 

women and kids. It’s time to get suited up for the whole 

family and make a big splash at the beach this summer!
