What to wear at Club 55 in St-Tropez starts with pieces that can move from a beach day to lunch: a white cotton shirt, a striped tank, roomy white trousers, flat sandals and a woven bag. Keep the colors simple, then add one print or a ribboned hat. These are outfit ideas, not a claim about a formal dress code.

The olive ribbon on this Sensi Studio hat adds color without another print. Pair it with white cotton or butter-yellow gingham, and let the long ribbon be the detail. The linked hat page currently asks shoppers to call the store for availability. Check the current size options and the maker’s care and packing instructions before ordering.
A white cotton poplin shirt by Madewell
The Madewell Easy Shirt in True White cotton poplin gives this beach-to-lunch outfit a simple button-up layer. This is a regular-fit, tuckable shirt, not an oversized cover-up. Wear it open over a tank on the way to the beach, then tuck it into white trousers for lunch. Push up the sleeves and keep the collar loose. Check the size guide for the fit you want.
Oversized white cotton poplin shirt by Toteme
For a looser beach-to-lunch layer, the Toteme white cotton poplin shirt has a relaxed, oversized cut rather than the regular, tuckable fit of the Madewell shirt above. The button-down style is all cotton. Wear it open over a tank with the white trousers, or leave it loose with shorts when you want more room through the body. Choose between the two shirts by the shape you prefer, and check the size guide rather than expecting the same fit.
White pleated linen trousers by Quince
The Quince European linen pleated trousers in White give the shirt a more finished shape for lunch. A striped tank makes a second outfit from the same trousers. They have front pleats, a high rise and elastic at the back of the waist; the Regular version has a 30-inch inseam. White is lined, but the brand notes it may still be slightly sheer. Check the rise, length and lining before ordering, and choose a hem that clears the ground with flat sandals.
Ivory high-waisted Parker linen trousers by Posse
For a second take on the white-trouser lunch outfit, the Posse Parker trousers in Ivory linen have a high waist, front pleats and a relaxed wide leg. They are made of linen, with side-seam pockets and belt loops. Wear them with the navy-and-ivory striped tank and flat sandals, then tuck in the white shirt for lunch. Choose between these and the Quince trousers by the fit and length you prefer rather than packing two near-identical pairs.
Beige ankle-strap leather sandals by A.Emery
The A.Emery Heidi leather sandals in beige have a square open toe and slender ankle straps. Wear them with the white linen trousers for lunch, or with the gingham shift when you want a quieter sandal without a logo.
Navy and ivory stripes by rag & bone
rag & bone The Knit Mix navy and ivory striped tank. This is the graphic piece in a mostly white outfit. Wear it with the Quince trousers and beige sandals, then add the white shirt when you want another layer. The narrow stripes also sit well beside a dark woven bag without making the outfit busy.
A dark brown woven tote by Dragon Diffusion
Dragon Diffusion Triple Jump dark brown woven tote. Dark brown gives the white-and-navy pieces a warmer finish. Use a small pouch inside for keys and sunglasses so they are easy to find. It is an outfit bag; pack a separate washable bag for wet swimwear or anything sandy.
A butter-yellow gingham shift by Faithfull
Faithfull Sofia butter-yellow gingham shift dress. Choose the shift when you want a one-piece outfit instead of a shirt and trousers. The small check is enough pattern on its own. Add the ribboned hat and flat sandals, or put the white shirt over your shoulders for a different look. This is a dress option, not a substitute for a swimsuit.
A pink botanical linen jacket by L’Agence
L’Agence Eda cropped pink botanical linen jacket. The short shape changes the same white trousers into a more dressed-up outfit. Wear it over a plain tank and keep the accessories quiet. Choose either the gingham dress or the printed jacket as the patterned piece rather than wearing both together.
A natural crocheted tote by Tory Burch
The Tory Burch Large Ella Hand-Crocheted Tote is a lighter-colored woven-tote option beside the white linen trousers and flat sandals. Check the linked page for current colors and availability.
A yellow-striped towel for the beach bag
Leave the bulky bath towel at home. The Dock & Bay Boracay Yellow beach towel rolls into its own striped pouch, with a sunny yellow-and-white pattern that looks good beside a woven tote. This large version measures 63 by 35 inches and uses smooth microfiber rather than fluffy cotton terrycloth. Independent towel tests found the fabric quick-drying and easy to shake free of sand; the trade-off is a thinner, less plush feel. Shop the yellow-striped beach towel here.
