And what if it's cold in the evening? Opt for Linen or Denim!
If during the day it's essential to focus on garments made of fresh and lightweight fabrics, in the evening it's better not to be caught unprepared by temperature changes.
The linen and denim garments from the United Colors of Benetton children's collection are an excellent solution to combine comfort and style even during evening outings.
Linen is the ultimate summer fabric, natural, lightweight, and breathable, perfect for sunset walks or dinners under the stars with the whole family.
For a refined yet informal look, you can choose our linen shirts that adapt well to the relaxed atmosphere of summer. Paired with jeans or more practical shorts, they have all the credentials to become the children's favorite uniform.
How to protect them from the cool evening air by the sea? If long pants don't seem enough, you can complete their outfits with a denim jacket.
Even a simple combination of T-shirt and colored shorts or polo shirts with strong colors and chinos pairs perfectly with a denim jacket.
Beach clothing for a weekend: be careful not to forget anything!
Before leaving for a weekend at the beach, it's important to prepare everything necessary to ensure children have an unforgettable vacation. From clothing to accessories: to be sure not to forget anything at home, start by making a real list of things to pack in your suitcase.
To start, immediately include swimsuits among the things to bring with you. It doesn't matter if they are solid-colored or with fun prints: what matters is to bring more than one with you so that the kids can change whenever they want, after a swim, after a shower, or after a walk on the shore.
Essential to properly protect them from the sun's rays, sunglasses and hats remain an indispensable accessory to keep them safe while playing under the sun, but also to add an extra dose of style to their outfits.
To create different beach looks every day, make sure to pack practical, fresh, and lightweight garments in your suitcase, such as T-shirts, shirts, and soft trousers: to wear from dawn to dusk, both on the beach and away from the shore.
And of course, also add sandals, colorful flip-flops, bags, and beach towels: they too can make a difference to live a weekend at the beach full of style and fun.
Beach holiday with kids or newborns? Some suggestions for the perfect suitcase.
Preparing for a beach vacation with children or infants requires some planning and attention to detail, but just follow some small suggestions to enjoy every moment of relaxation and fun with the whole family to the fullest.
How to create the perfect suitcase for a beach vacation with children or infants? Before starting to pack, put in black and white the clothes and accessories you want to bring with you. It's only by making an accurate list that you will be able to remember the most important things. And don't wait until the last minute: to have time to organize everything calmly and without stress, try to take care of it at least a week before departure.
Since space is not infinite, try to maximize it by folding clothes properly and using special bags to store smaller-sized garments and accessories. Moreover, try to avoid the superfluous: by focusing on versatile garments and accessories that easily match each other, you can create different beach looks even with few pieces available, without the need to bring your entire wardrobe with you.
To avoid the unpleasant surprises of the weather, before leaving, take a look at the forecasts and, if necessary, also add a few lightweight jackets, cotton sweaters, and denim garments to your luggage.
Finally, in addition to your suitcase, prepare a smaller bag or backpack to always keep by your side during the trip: it can be useful to always have water bottles, snacks, and toys at hand.
