Welcome to The Blueprint, where we take apart the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and recreate them, piece by piece.
Joanna Gaines is on the island and has the summer-ready outfits to prove it.
Over the weekend, the HGTV star shared an inside look at her family vacation in St. Lucia, who made me wish for a beach vacation and access to her closet. In the Instagram post, Gaines included a shot of herself posing alongside Chip Gaines in Bermuda-style jean shorts that practically screamed “OOO.” She wore them with a top – and knowing that clothes are only as strong as their shoes – she finished off the look by throwing on a pair of navy blue sandals.

While we can’t confirm the brand of Gaines’ shirt for sure, this tankini from Tommy Bahama looks almost identical. Its tummy control panel, sewn-in cups and bandeau neckline make it a smart option for in and out of the water, and it even comes with removable shoulder straps for those who like extra support.
Style it with denim shorts and sneakers, like I plan to do when I’m getting ready for long days in the sun, or pair it with matching bikini bottoms for a beach-ready look.

Few things bother me more than jeans that don’t fit, so I’m taking a page out of Gaines’ style book by picking up this longer pair of Bermuda-style shorts on Amazon. They’ve earned more than 1,300 perfect scores from customers for their “perfect length” and “lightweight” fabric, and come in 14 vibrant and neutral shades, including hot pink and light blue.
What’s more? One reviewer even called them “the most comfortable pair of shorts” they own, while another said, “I’ve been wearing them all day and they’re honestly as comfortable as shorts.”

Gaines always reaches for comfortable footwear, and her latest look was no exception. Steal her style by swapping uncomfortable sandals for these popular Lululemon slides that, according to reviews, feel like you’re “walking on a cloud.” They’ve garnered hundreds of five-star ratings for their “clean look,” with one customer noting that they “hold water well,” making them the perfect addition to daytime beach outfits.
Although only available in men’s sizes, women suggest sizing down to achieve a “great” fit.
