Whether you’re enjoying the sand and waves or chilling poolside, do it in style! Before you head out for a day in the sun, make sure you have this season’s must-have beach accessories so you can create a killer ensemble. Check out the cute summer fashion accessories we’re loving this year, and be prepared to grab those #HotGirlSummer Insta pics with pieces that complete your warm-weather boutique clothing

Colorful Beach Bags for the Essentials

A big beach bag is practical and stylish. Just toss all of your essentials into this must-have beach accessory, and you’re ready for anything your adventure has in store. Carry a towel, sunglasses, a hat, sunblock, a book, snacks, a drink, and your cover up. The larger your tote, the better! 

Opt for women's summer accessories that feature bold summer colors, such as green and fuchsia. Keep it simple with a fun pattern, such as stripes or Aztec print. Or show a little personality with a tote that lets everyone know you’re vacay bound thanks to an embroidered phrase. 

Turn Heads in Stylish Hats

A cute hat is the pinnacle of fun women's summer accessories. Shade your lovely face from the rays of the sun as you lounge in the sand, and make a fierce fashion statement. Let everyone know you have beach hair and don’t care, or live your best lake life in a trendy trucker hat.

Keep an eye out for pieces that match your bathing suit or cover up. For example, distressed trucker hats go with absolutely everything in your capsule wardrobe, and they feature breathable mesh backs that will keep you cool all day long. 

Beach-Ready Towels

As you can see, this season’s must-have beach accessories are about form and function. And cute beach towels are no exception. Use your towel to do more than just dry off after a dip. Stake your claim on the best patch of sand with oversized towels you can lounge on. 

As you shop for the perfect towel, look for a piece made with microfiber material. It’ll dry fast, allowing you to shake the sand off and pack it up at the end of the day without worrying about a soggy mess. 

Cover Ups that Will Make You Stand Out

Naturally, you want to show off your swimsuit while you hang out by the water. However, for those trips to the clubhouse or the snack shack, you need another must-have beach accessory: a trendy swimsuit cover up. Dress up in something stylish that complements your bikini or your one-piece stunner.

We recommend long cover ups with open fronts that you can also wear with a tank top and shorts. Embrace some of the hottest women's summer accessories with floral or tie dye pieces, and you’re sure to stand out in a crowd. Focus on detailed accents like lace or pom-poms for a nice finishing touch to any beach look. 

Shore Styles

Every woman’s collection of must-have beach accessories should start with a foundation of cute, casual clothing. You need items that you can easily pack. They need to be appropriate for the warm weather, and they need to be beach-ready. Whether you’re headed to the beach for the weekend or you’re on an extended vacation, stock up on tank tops, boutique dresses, and other summer staples.
