Whether you’re planning on spending 4th of July weekend in the Hamptons, Martha’s Vineyard or abroad, the holiday marks the unofficial style weekend that kicks off the summer. Here’s our style guide to everything you need to pack to be at the top of your fashion game. Today, we begin part 1 of our series on what to pack, starting with the beach & pool. Follow back later this week for Part 2.
1. A bikini and sexy one-piece
Your bathing suit game is especially important if you’re planning on lounging by the pool or beach. And this year, there are so many more cute styles to choose from.
We love this Mikoh Kaneohe neoprene plunging bathing suit. The low neckline is sexy, but the style is more forgiving than the bikinis. It’s $284.
This bold printed Mikoh one-piece is just $210.
Next, you’ll need a fun, printed bikini like this one from Matthew Williamson, $315.
2. A sheer, whimsical cover-up
A pool ensemble is only complete with a great cover up. Think sheer white fabrics and additions such as tassels and cut-outs.
This Miguelina Rachel dress is $598, and is light, airy and easily packable.
This PilyQ Harper cover up is just $209
3. Sandals & Espadrilles
Poolside lounging means finding the right balance between functional and stylish. Here are our picks:
These K Jacques St. Tropez sandals are scrappy but delicate and can easily slip on poolside. They are on sale for $106.
These Tibi Camilo sandals hit on the gladiator trend but as super comfy. They are on sale for $212.50.
These Tabitha Simmons espadrilles are great for day time.
4. Beach Bag
Look for straw totes or bags with bright prints to keep your items organized.
This Sensi Studio straw tote, $260, should do the trick.
Love the print on this Sophie Anderson tote, $665.
