Essentials you need for your next beach trip

July 25, 2020

Vacations may look different this year, but even if all we have are staycations, we can still look cute! We’ve rounded up our must-haves for beach trips that are not only fashionable, but functional.

Sun Visor

Not only will a sun visor complete your cute vacation outfit, it will also protect your face from harmful sun rays and prevent wrinkles. The best part - you can throw your hair up in a pony and it cooperates with your lounge chair unlike a traditional sunhat. From paradise to poolside, this is guaranteed to be a staple in your summer collection.

Mid Thigh Shorts

A good pair of denim shorts are essential for summer. Although booty shorts may have been our go-to when we teenagers, we opt for a more comfortable mid-thigh short now. This pair by Pistola is a universally flattering option that can be worn for any activity on vacation. Wear them with a simple tank for day and a sexier bodysuit for night.

PISTOLA DEVIN SHORT $98

Maxi Dress

Maxi dresses are definitely a summer favorite. What’s better than throwing on one piece of clothing and having your entire outfit figured out?! With endless styles and prints, they are great for any occasion. Make a statement by adding accessories for a special event or throw on a pair of sandals to rock that carefree summer look.

Chic Sunglasses

Cover-Up

No beach wardrobe is complete without a cover-up. They’re another great way to be sun safe, limiting your exposure to extreme heat, while complimenting your bikini style. They also come in very handy when you don’t want to walk across the hotel lobby or wait for a drink at the bar in your bikini. TIP: they provide an easy way to add an extra OOTD pic for the ‘gram.
