Our Poolside Essentials: Everything We’re Bringing This Summer
A perfect pool day doesn’t require much, but a few thoughtfully chosen essentials can make all the difference. From a great book to comfortable sandals, here’s everything we’re packing this summer.
Beach Towel
A soft, oversized striped beach towel is a summer staple. It gives you plenty of room to lounge, dries quickly between swims, and doubles as the perfect spot to relax with a good book.
Frankies Bikinis Swimwear
Frankies Bikinis has become one of our favorite swim brands thanks to its flattering cuts, vibrant colors, and buttery-soft fabrics. Their pieces are designed to be comfortable enough for all-day wear while still feeling elevated and on-trend.
Apple AirPods Max 2 (Green)
The Apple AirPods Max 2 headphones combine premium sound with unmistakable luxury. Featuring active noise cancellation, immersive audio, and up to 28 hours of battery life with the charging case, they’re perfect for zoning out with your favorite summer playlist while relaxing poolside.
Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
Few books are as easy to pick up between swims as Milk and Honey. Rupi Kaur’s bestselling poetry collection explores love, healing, growth, and self-discovery through short, impactful poems that make it an ideal beach or poolside read.
Havaianas Slim Tropical Flip Flops
Havaianas have been synonymous with summer for decades, and for good reason. Made from durable Brazilian rubber, they’re lightweight, water-friendly, and comfortable enough to wear from the pool to dinner. The tropical print adds an extra vacation feel.
EADEM Le Chouchou Lip Softening Balm
The EADEM Le Chouchou Lip Balm is packed with nourishing ingredients like shea butter and peptides to keep lips hydrated in the sun. It delivers a glossy finish without feeling sticky, making it an easy addition to any beach bag.
Miu Miu Sunglasses
A great pair of sunglasses instantly elevates any poolside look. Miu Miu’s statement frames blend fashion with full UV protection, making them as practical as they are stylish.
Polka Dot Scrunchie
A soft fabric scrunchie is one of those little essentials that’s easy to overlook until you need it. It keeps your hair up after a swim without pulling or creasing, and it doubles as a cute accessory on your wrist.
Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Oil
Hawaiian Tropic’s Dark Tanning Oil has been a summer favorite for years thanks to its lightweight coconut-scented formula that leaves skin looking glowy and hydrated. If you’re spending extended time in the sun, be sure to pair it with a broad-spectrum SPF for proper sun protection.
