15 Summer Must-Haves
15
items 15 must haves for anyone ready to get out this summer and soak up some sun!
I’ve been through so many sunscreens over the years, and this one is genuinely one of the better ones I’ve tried. It goes on lightweight and doesn’t leave that awful white cast I’ve dealt with from other SPF 50+ formulas. I use it on my face daily an...
EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 46 Oil-Free
Honestly, I was skeptical about this. It looked a little ridiculous when I first ordered it. But after one outdoor concert in July heat, I was completely converted. It keeps airflow going hands-free, which is a game-changer when you’re standing in a ...
Koonie Rechargeable Neck Fan, 5 Speeds, Bladeless
I spent way too long searching for a swimsuit that actually fit well, and this one finally checked most of the boxes. The fabric is thick enough that it doesn’t go sheer when wet, which was a dealbreaker with cheaper options I’d tried before. The sup...
Eomenie Women's Tummy Control Cutout Swimsuit
This towel is legitimately beautiful and I may have bought it partly for the aesthetic, but it’s also incredibly functional. It dries fast. Like, impressively fast. Which makes it great for packing into a beach bag without ending up with a wet, musty...
Antfuny Turkish Quick Dry Oversized Beach Towel
These sandals are cute, comfortable for short stretches, and go with almost everything: sundresses, linen pants, shorts. I wore them on a beach trip and got compliments every single day. However, I do want to be honest: after about two hours of walki...
FISACE Womens Slip On Ring Toe Gladiator Sandals
I resisted linen pants for years because I thought they’d look sloppy, and I could not have been more wrong. These are breezy, flattering, and genuinely one of the most comfortable things I own for hot weather. I’ve worn them to the beach, to brunch,...
TARSE Womens Linen Wide Leg Casual Pants
This bag is the definition of summer and it photographs beautifully, which I’ll admit influenced my purchase. In real life it’s roomy enough to hold a towel, sunscreen, a water bottle, and my phone without looking stuffed. My honest feedback is that ...
YXILEE M Size Handmade Woven Straw Bag
These have genuinely changed how I dress in the summer. I used to avoid dresses on really hot days specifically because of thigh chafe, and now that problem is just… gone. The fabric is silky and smooth without being hot or clingy, which I was worrie...
YADIFEN Seamless Anti Chafing Slip Shorts
I bought this before a beach vacation and it gave me real peace of mind, which alone made it worth it. It fits my phone well and the seal feels secure. I tested it in the pool before trusting it in the ocean. Touch sensitivity through the case is dec...
Hiearcool IPX8 Waterproof Phone Pouch 2 Pack
This dress has been my most-worn item of the summer by a long shot. The fabric is lightweight, moves beautifully, and doesn’t cling in the heat. It transitions easily from a beach cover-up to a casual dinner outfit depending on what you pair with it....
Halife Women's Summer Sleeveless Halter Maxi Dress
I’ll admit I bought these because I kept seeing them everywhere, but I’m genuinely glad I did. They’re lightweight, sit comfortably on my face for hours, and the slim frames make them feel more elevated than chunky acetate styles I’ve worn before. UV...
Joopin Vintage Round Polarized Sunglasses
After a long day in the sun, this is the thing I look forward to most. It sinks in quickly without that greasy film that a lot of body butters leave, and my skin genuinely feels soft and nourished the next morning. The scent is subtle and pleasant, n...
Hawaiian Tropic Lime Coolada After Sun Lotion 16oz Twin Pack
This blanket has come with me to more parks, concerts, and beach days than I can count since buying it. The waterproof backing actually works. I’ve sat on damp grass and stayed completely dry, which felt like a small miracle. It folds up into a compa...
scuddles XL Picnic Blanket 60x80 Waterproof
This float is fun, comfortable, and looks great in photos. All the things you want from a pool float. It inflates relatively quickly and feels stable enough that I wasn’t constantly tipping off it. The material feels durable and hasn’t shown any sign...
Inflatable Pool Floats Lounger for Adults
I bought this mostly for outdoor workouts and hot commutes, and it’s become one of those things I didn’t know I needed until I had it. You just wet it, wring it out, and the cooling effect kicks in almost instantly. It’s surprisingly effective. It st...
CADONO 4 Pack Cooling Towel 40x12, Multicolor
