Your must-have fashion essentials for the beach
In addition to the swimsuit you wear effortlessly in the sun, today we will discuss the fashion necessities to pack when taking a trip to the beach, the lake or local pool!
I think every woman must invest in the perfect bag to hold our personals out of the sun and away from the water. The best beach bags are durable and made of easy to clean materials. You can still have a cute bag with practicality, don’t let the world durability scare you! At the beach your bag is inevitably going to get sandy, wet or sprayed with sun lotion. Popular durable bags to consider are constructed of jute, macramé, straw or linen.
Another essential for the beach is a stylish but protective pair of sunglasses. It is okay to take your expensive sunnies to the beach but do not wear them in the water! Save a cheap pair for when you are swimming because if they disappear into the water, they are hard to recover. It is also important to protect your eyes from sand if it is windy and the sun’s glare. Another fashionable but protective piece to invest in is a sunhat. All beach goers are best with a material that has built in UPF and UV protection. Wide brims are great for really keeping the sun off your entire face and part of your chest, but normal caps are great for shading the eyes too.
The next best thing paired with any bathing suit is a coverup! Things to keep in mind: go for something that is light to keep your bag lightweight, wear something that is easy to throw over and length is also something to take into consideration. Short coverups reappear every summer season, but from personal experience having a maxi length coverup is not always a bad idea. After a lengthy day outdoors when your legs are a little past being pink from the sun, it is great to be able to shade your legs. Coverups can be basic or a fun print. Kaftans are also a popular coverup option!
And ladies… mostly importantly don’t forget your towel! Opt for a Turkish towel to keep your bag light, or use it as a wrap!
