A Chic Kaftan and Shorts

This traditional piece from the Middle East has everything going for it in summer. You can wear it over your swimsuit after a dip, and then, surprise! You are already stylish and ready for a drink at the beach bar! And don't forget about the knit fabric that dries in no time at all, like a fashionable bathrobe. Plus, this dress is a stunner with its striking stripes and ties at the neckline. Sizes 36-44. Difficulty: 1 star
Cotton Shorts 110 Burda Style 07/22
A discreet pair of shorts with a polished look! The high-waisted piece is structured with smartly placed darts, and the slightly longer length than a classic model make it a posh garment you’ll love to wear out and about in town. But...it is also great for the beach! Back pockets included. Sizes 36-44. Difficulty: 3 stars
Tank Tops
You can even throw it on over your suit when there is a slight breeze in the air. Despite its simple cut, there are so many versions you can make.

This model is ultra-classic with its large neckline and rounded panels. The batik print is super trendy, too! And good news: it is very simple to sew. Sizes 34-44. Difficulty: 1 star
Jersey Top 111 Burda Style 07/22
On the other side of the spectrum, this is a top that is so refined as a result of the deep V-neck, billowy sleeves, and extravagant folds around the shoulders and at the bodice. Flattering and fun! It is made from soft, supple jersey. Sizes 36-44. Difficulty: 2 stars
Sundresses
Who does not love a sundress for the beach? Thin straps, an open neckline, and relaxed cut make this kind of model attractive and comfortable.

Cotton Dress 112 Burda Style 05/22
This beautiful dress is so reminiscent of the Fifties! Darts at the bodice give it a corset-like shape, and we love the thin straps, fitted waist, and breezy multi-panel skirt. The alternating stripes add a particularly swanky air to the entire piece, and the seersucker fabric makes it lightweight and airy. (Bonus points: it is practically wrinkle-free!) Sizes 17-44. Difficulty: 3 stars
Loose-fitting Tops
Loose trapeze tops are the latest trend in fashion today!
Knit Fabric Top 112 Burda Style 07/22
A breezy knit fabric is the final touch to this charming top, making it something that can easily be worn over a swimsuit, with an open-back dress, or paired with a tank. The trapeze cut, ample three-quarter length sleeves, and V-neck are a favorite! This model is graceful yet versatile. Sizes 36-44. Difficulty: 1 star
Cotton Tunic 116 Burda Style 07/22
Finely lined linen brings this sporty top up a notch. Plus, the V-neck adorned with ribbons creates a kind of unique plastron. Look at those wide sleeves: they have such a spectacular drape. You can sew your model in either cotton or viscose! Sizes 36-44. Difficulty: 2 stars
