What to Pack for a Coastal Weekend

What to pack for a coastal weekend?

Some trips require a checklist. A coastal weekend is not one of them.

The beauty of a few days by the water is that you need less than you think. The right pieces, the right people, and somewhere close to the shore - that's the whole formula. Still, there's an art to packing light without leaving anything behind. Here's what we'd bring.

1. The Uniform

The Coastal Club Crewneck and Short Set is the set you build the whole trip around. Wear it to your morning coffee, straight to the sand, and back again for dinner when the sun goes down. One set, the whole day handled.

If the forecast calls for cooler evenings - and coastal evenings almost always do - swap the Short for the Coastal Club Pant. Same crewneck, different energy. The Crewneck and Pant set is the move when you want to look a little more put together without putting in any extra effort. Pack both bottoms, wear the crewneck with whichever one the day calls for.

Between the two sets you've already solved most of the trip.

2. The Layer

The Coastal Club Hoodie. Always. Coastal mornings and evenings have a chill that catches you off guard every time, and nothing fixes that faster. It's also the piece you'll live in on the drive home when the weekend is over and you're not ready for it to be.

3. The Coverup

The Coastal Club Jersey is your beach bag essential. 100% cotton open mesh, oversized boxy fit - throw it on over your swimsuit when you're done in the water and you're already dressed. It's the piece that takes you from the sand to wherever the afternoon leads without stopping to change.

4. The Scent

Pack the Coastal Club Candle. Light it the first night in whatever room you're staying in and it immediately feels like yours. Honeydew, jasmine, sandalwood, and a quiet marine note underneath - it smells like the weekend you're about to have.

The best coastal weekends are the ones you don't overprepare for. Pack the pieces that make you feel like yourself, leave the rest at home, and let the shore do the rest.

That's what Coastal Club is for.
