Summer is just around the corner and it’s time to start planning your next trip! From bikinis to cover-ups, we’ve got you covered with our list of summer essentials. The sun is shining and the water is calling but what are you going to take with you on your trip to the seaside?
It’s time to pack up your sunscreen, sunglasses, a towel and more, for an unforgettable day at the beach. If you want to make it even better than that, here are some things that will be sure to come in handy on your trip.
Sunscreen
The sun is a powerful force and we all need to protect ourselves from it. Sunscreen is one of the most important ways you can do this, so make sure you’re always wearing sunscreen when outside. There are many reasons why sunscreen is important. The first reason is that it protects your skin from the sun’s UV rays, which can cause wrinkles and even cancer. Another reason to wear sunscreen is because it will help you avoid getting a sunburn. Sunburns hurt and they also take longer to heal than other types of burns. One more reason for wearing sunscreen is that it makes makeup last longer on your face by reducing its tendency to run or smudge when exposed to sweat or water.
Sun Hat
You know about how important it is to wear sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. But what about your head? The sun’s heat can be just as damaging when it reflects off surfaces like concrete, water and sand. A hat offers protection for you scalp and hair, keeping them healthy so you don’t have to worry about premature greying or balding. Hats can be super stylish and add something extra to an outfit, we love our Luso Floppy Hat for summer, it is the perfect accessory.
Sunglasses
Have you ever wondered why sunglasses are so important? It might seem like a simple accessory that is only used for style, but it actually has many benefits. Sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays and they also help to reduce glare.
Swimsuit
The swimsuit is not only a garment that people use when they go swimming. It has become a fashion accessory and an important part of one’s trip to the beach. When choosing a bathing suit, it is necessary to consider many factors such as colour, style, pattern and fabric among other things such as fit. We offer a range of different styles to suit your preferences those who like to show a little more skin may love our Fresco bikini bottoms and Elise bikini top, if you feel more comfortable covered up why not try our Saunton tankini or a traditional full body swimsuit like our fabulous Fonda swimming costume.
Sarong or a cover up for when you’re not in the water
Why are sarongs so great for the beach?
Sarongs are lightweight, easy to carry around with you and they can be used in a bunch of different ways. Plus, most importantly, they’re just really cute! A sarong is a versatile accessory that you can take to the beach with you. It’s lightweight, dries quickly and folds up into a small package – perfect for packing!
There’s no better way to spend an afternoon than sitting on the sand reading a book while wearing my favourite sarong or cover up, feeling comfortable, relaxed and enjoying a bit of relaxation.
Flip Flops
We live in a culture where flip flops are seen as summer staples. Flip flops are the perfect accessory to wear around the house or out on the town when it’s hot outside. They offer breathable and lightweight options for your busy day-to-day life in the summer months.
We have a super range of men’s and women’s flipflops that are designed to keep your feet happy, check them out now!
Beach Bag
A staple to carry all your bits and bobs in, is a beach bag. We have a great range of beach bags, we love our Debbies beach bag for its size. It has plenty of space for everything in this list of beach and holiday essentials.
Beach Towel
You’ve packed your beach bag with all the essentials: sunscreen, sunglasses, maybe even a book for some light entertainment. But is it just me or have we forgotten something? The most important item to bring to the beach is a towel! Your beach towel is your best friend, it’s what you’ll use to dry off when you’re finished swimming and want to lounge on the sand.
Our Dorado beach towel is made of 100% cotton making it super soft and quick drying, great for a day at the beach. What are your beach essentials? Let us know on social.
