What to Wear to Our Bar & Club Awards: Women’s Edition

Another year, another Bar & Club Awards. But this time around, we’ve got a theme: beachwear. Think sun-kissed skin, polka dot bikinis and straw trilby hats. Who cares if we’re thousands of miles away from the nearest beach? Use your imagination. With temperatures expected to reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit (or over 30 degrees Celsius) on Saturday, we're there weather-wise at least. For further inspiration, check out the outfit we’ve put together below.

1. White button-down shirt. RMB 349. H&M
An eternal classic, the white button-down shirt will never go out of style. This version from H&M is flowy and casual – perfect for throwing over a swimsuit after a long day of sunbathing. Sport it unbuttoned at the top with the sleeves rolled up to convey the jauntiness of summer.

2. Neon spotted bikini top. Price TBD. H&M
To be worn in place of a bra. The neon adds a necessary peek of color into an otherwise relaxed outfit. Check out our recent swimwear post for more ideas.

3. Levi’s denim shorts. RMB 149. Mega Mega Vintage
This Gulou hipster mecca has vintage denim galore. The sand stands no chance against cuffed denim shorts, which are equal parts chic and durable. Plus you get an element of ruggedness that complements the breeziness of the shirt.

4. Ksubi Bellatrix sunglasses. RMB 2,080. FEI Space
Snazzy shades are crucial, both for protecting your eyes against the sun and showing off your style. Round frames signal a sense of adventure and quirkiness – a tantalizing combination for the fashion-forward.

5. Striped tote bag. RMB 299. Gap
It’s lightweight, sailor-inspired and big enough to fit all your beach essentials.

6. Gold turquoise earrings. Price TBD. Belita Jewelry
Instant glam. The sunshine brings out the gold.

7. Tan flat sandals. RMB 549. Zara
Strappy sandal season is back. This pair will give you a little height without the accompanying pain.

Men, you're up next. Look out for your post tomorrow afternoon.
