It’s never too soon to start day dreaming about hanging out on a sandy beach.
As the Winter weather starts to warm up and turn into Spring, the first thing many of us want to do is break out our shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops and go play outside in the sun. Ad campaigns and fashion houses set many of their editorials in tropical locations that have sandy beaches, warm waters, bright flowers and sweltering heat to inspire viewers to shed their layers and get ready for the sweet summertime to come.
From sun-drenched swimwear ads to edgy beach footwear ads, check out these sandy beach captures to help you image yourself hanging out on the beach.
