If you’re wondering what to wear on your winter break by the sea, the answer is simple — layer up and keep it chic! A trip to Lytham St Annes in winter means bracing beach walks, cosy cafés, and relaxed evenings at The Sea Croft Bed, Breakfast & Bar.
You don’t need designer labels to look great by the coast. With a few well-chosen, budget-friendly pieces, you can stay warm, dry, and Instagram-ready all weekend long.
This week, we’re spotlighting local Lytham boutiques that understand effortless style for women — elegant, flattering, and comfortable without the fuss.
🧥 1. Daytime Chic: Seaside Strolls & Coffee Stops
When exploring the promenade or browsing Clifton Street’s boutiques, comfort and class go hand in hand.
Style it with:
- A soft knit dress or relaxed tunic from Room Lytham — their neutral shades and natural fabrics are perfect for layering.
- A wool blend coat from Seasalt Lytham, tailored but practical for coastal breezes.
- Leather ankle boots and a patterned scarf from Room’s accessories line to complete the look.
💡 Style tip: Choose shades inspired by the sea — navy, sand, and soft grey always look timeless.
