Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to show too much skin if you're at the beach. If you're a shy girl, know that you can still create winning looks without doing so. Just ask Julia Barretto—the 26-year-old actress shows a preference for being more bundled up when hitting the waves, but she still looks great! Just check out her Instagram photos for proof:

1. Maillots are essential for shy girl beach babes, and Julia is proof that you can never go wrong with a classic black one.

2. Need a pop of color for the beach? Choose a burnt orange shade for your one-piece and pair it with your fave sunnies.

3. Shorts are key if you want to stay bundled up when you're not wading in the waters.

4. Hanging out at the beach can get chilly, especially when it's close to nighttime, so take a leaf out of Julia's book and go for a tank top (with cut-outs to keep things interesting) and loose, breathable bottoms.

5. Switch up your usual maillot and go for a one-piece body-hugging dress. Give your beach OOTD extra oomph by adding your fave accessories.

6. We don't make the rules—beach days call for bright pops of color! If you're not hanging out in the crystal clear waters, go for a monochromatic look with coordinated prints for a fun look.

7. Want to wear a two-piece but still feeling shy? Choose one with bottoms that give you more coverage.

8. Go the extra mile by pairing your bikini with a flowy maxi skirt. Easy peasy and super breathable!

9. We're obsessed with the way this simple black bodycon dress hugs Julia's curves.

10. Juju continues the trend of wearing bottoms with added coverage in this serene travel pic. Pro tip: Make sure to match your accessories with the color of your swimmie!
