Cuteness overload. Pink gingham, sweet ruffles, long sleeves, and UPF 50 protection? This is basically the kid's beach club uniform.
RuffleButts Girls UPF50+ Long Sleeve One Piece Bow Peplum Rash ...
This one is giving tiny Hamptons socialite. Classic, coastal, and the shoulder ties are painfully cute.
One Piece Bow Strap Swimsuit - Periwinkle Block Print
Pretty colors and a classic woodblock print. Will be so cute with a little skirt or shorts over, the top will look like a tank top. A winner!
Perfect shade of sunshine pink, with an adorable tassel cinch waist. Fabric is lightweight for hot days, but substantial enough to double as a sundress for a casual lunch. Little Girl and Big Girl sizes.
Kids' Bubblegum Beach Cotton Cover-Up
Dashing Dudes
$13 (true story!) for the cutest flag embroidered seersucker swim trunks - toddler to big boy sizes. I got several sizes for my son, as you can't beat the price and 4th of July happens every year! :)
Boys Embroidered Flag Seersucker Swim Trunks - Swim Shop - BLUE
Here’s a mom trick: bright red swim trunks are basically a tracking device at busy pools and beaches. Much easier to spot your little guy as he’s sprinting between cannonballs, sandcastles, and actively dodging your sunscreen spray like it’s a tactic...
Monochromatic Lined Swim Trunks
These are giving “summering in Nantucket since birth” energy. Classic Ralph Lauren seersucker, timeless stripes, and the kind of little boy style that makes strangers stop and say, “OH my gosh.”

Cover Ups, Towels, Hats and Shades
On sale for $9.50! These look like tiny Ray-Bans, protect their eyes, and somehow make kids look cooler than their parents. Also buy two pairs because children treat sunglasses like a limited-time rental program.
These are surprisingly well made, give great eye protection, and at $15 feel like a total mom win. Tons of fun color combos and ridiculously cute on.
Retro Rewind Kids Sunglasses Shatterproof UV400
Red, white, and blue with subtle seersucker? Absolute summer classic. These work all season long but really shine for the 4th of July — giving little gentleman at the yacht club energy. 🇺🇸
Hope & Henry Bucket Hat, Kids | Nordstrom
These are a forever favorite. They slip right over little heads, double as a towel for quick dry-offs, and somehow make pool kids look country club chic. The preppy colors are absurdly cute. Perfect for the boat, beach and pool.
Cabana Stripe Kids Towel Cover Up
My go-to after swim practice and meets. Soft towel material, a cozy hood for those freezing 7am pool mornings, and their names embroidered on them because apparently every swim mom in America had the exact same idea.
Rugby Stripe Kid Hooded Towel Collection
LOVE the sweet floral fabric and at $7.50 the price can't be beat. UPF 50 and a sloped back for neck coverage. See the linked coordinating swimsuit. Whole outfit for under $20 - hurry!
