Quick Answer

A beach club calls for considered resort wear — a kaftan or flowing cover-up over a swimsuit for the day, transitioning to a printed shirt dress or jumpsuit for the evening. Bold prints are celebrated at beach clubs worldwide.

A beach club has a dress code that nobody writes down. It is not about the label or the price. It is about the energy you carry when you walk in. The woman who gets the best sun lounger is not the one who asked for it.

The Jaqueline print was made for this moment. Gold and black and wild — it photographs beautifully against sun, sand, and sea. Wear the kaftan over a swimsuit and you are dressed for every hour of a beach club day. From noon arrival in Mykonos to sunset cocktails in Ibiza, this print holds. From beach club to boat, from pool to dinner — it never asks you to try harder. It simply performs.

Frequently Asked

What should I wear to a beach club?

A beach club calls for considered resort wear — a kaftan or flowing cover-up over a swimsuit for the day, transitioning to a printed shirt dress or jumpsuit for the evening. Bold prints are celebrated at beach clubs worldwide. The Jaqueline collection's gold and black palette photographs beautifully in beach club settings across Mykonos, Ibiza, St. Barts, and Tulum — and moves from sun lounger to bar to dinner without requiring a wardrobe change.

What is the dress code at a luxury beach club?

Luxury beach clubs — Nammos in Mykonos, Eden Rock in St. Barts, Nikki Beach globally — require cover-ups over swimwear in most areas. The expectation is intentional and considered, not casual beach wear. A luxury kaftan, printed shirt dress, or flowing resort separates are the standard.

Can I wear a kaftan to a beach club?

A kaftan is one of the most appropriate and stylish choices for a beach club. It satisfies the cover-up requirement while looking infinitely more intentional than a standard sarong. It moves beautifully in the breeze and transitions from sun lounger to bar without a thought.

What colors photograph best at a beach club?

Bold, high-contrast prints photograph beautifully against the blue water, white sand, and sun-drenched settings of luxury beach clubs. Avoid pale pastels that can wash out — opt for prints with presence that hold in every light condition.

What should I wear from beach club to dinner?

The Jaqueline Shirtdress is the perfect beach-club-to-dinner piece — wear it open over a swimsuit at the club, then belt it and add heeled sandals for the restaurant. One piece, two completely different looks, zero effort.

What should I wear to a beach club in Mykonos?

Mykonos beach clubs — Nammos, Scorpios, Super Paradise — have some of the most photographed dress codes in the world. A luxury kaftan or printed shirt dress over a swimsuit is the standard.

What should I wear to a beach club in St. Barts?

St. Barts beach clubs — Eden Rock, Nikki Beach, Shell Beach — have a polished French Caribbean dress code that rewards intentional dressing. A bold printed kaftan or flowing shirt dress over a swimsuit is exactly right.

What shoes work best for beach clubs?

Flat sandals are the practical and elegant choice for beach club daytime. For the transition to sunset cocktails or dinner, a strappy flat or low wedge sandal works beautifully.
