For general holiday wear and travelling to destinations women wore shorter skirts minus trains.  Large ribbon streamer straw hats were a great seaside favourite in the mid 1850s. Many paintings of the seaside illustrate the straw hat fashion alongside bonnets with brims with projecting frames of cane covered in silk.  They were used to shield a woman's face from the sun. 

Young men tried to get a nautical or at least exotic flavour into their seaside dress.  They would dress in shiny new straw boaters, richly striped blazers, bright cummerbunds and white flannels.

  Many local newspapers such as the Scarborough Gazette ran regular fashion notes.  This emphasis on dress highlights the fact that the seaside was something very special for Victorians, an escape from everyday life.

As sunbathing did not become fashionable until the 1920s ladies used hats and parasols to protect their skin from the sun's harmful rays.
