Here wearing Tory’s embroidered crinkle-gauze top, model Lily Kwong shares her favorite sun- and sand-filled destinations in the world — plus the style tips for the trips.

The best beach getaways…
Harbour Island in the Bahamas, Treasure Beach in Jamaica and, for something quick and easy, Miami Beach!

And my absolute favorite…
Harbour Island — it’s so cinematic. The pink sands, the golf carts, the brightly colored houses… it’s a great place to find inspiration.

My beach style is…
Sporty and relaxed.

And style tip to take the look into night…
Have flats or an easy heel to slip into packed in your beach bag. Even a casual shift dress can look dressed up with the right shoe.

Packing essentials for a beach vacation…
Big floppy hats, lots of wraps and cover-ups, boyfriend jeans, classic sunglasses and long, flowy dresses.

I love a good beach cover-up because…
Nothing is worse than getting salt water and sand on your everyday staples.

In my beach bag…
Heritage Rosewater, SkinCeuticals sunscreen, a good book, Project Tribe headwrap and sunglasses.

My beach style icon…
Ali MacGraw.

The top three style tips in the Lily Kwong Style Guide…
Keep it sleek and simple. And don’t forget your sunscreen.
