5 Beach Bag Essentials Every Woman Should Own

Finding the perfect sunglasses is an exhausting task. We’ve all been there. Round frames can feel too festival-ly, cat-eye too retro, and aviators can leave you looking bug-eyed. Instead of going for whacky designs that don’t suit you, try these tortoiseshell and camel frames with luxurious leather frames to add texture. These Pared shades are angular, which flatters most face shapes. Wear them out with a dress and smart jacket, or dress them down and add a hint of chic to your beach outfit. You can’t go wrong!

Behold, a stylish jelly sandal. It’s true. You can look good and be comfortable. Miracle. If you want to add a splash of colour to your beach outfit, but don’t want to look over the top, try a sea theme and choose these aqua Holster sandals.

Jelly isn’t just for eating and shoes, add a clutch to that list! Beach bags are notoriously large and difficult to organise all your belongings, so that search for your ringing phone/parking ticket/money/car keys is one of those beach-battles we all face. Well good news, problem solved, throw all your valuable bits and bobs in this cool black Emma Sadie Thomson jelly clutch.

The Verdict Is In: This is 2026’s Most Coveted Engagement Ring Shape

Much like the laborious sunglass-search, finding your perfect hat can be equally challenging. It has to suit your head and face shape, it has to be the right size and it has to match your beach outfits and bikini combos. Well we think we might have a solution for you. Matching is not an issue with this monochrome hat – the gold C&M plates keeps it chic and the brim is not so wide that you’ll look like an Audrey Hepburn wannabe. Hats off to that.

We saved the best ‘til last, naturally. Rectangular towels are so last season! These unique round towels from Beach Bella look super cute, but hey, they’re functional too. Besides the obvious, use it as a yoga towel, picnic mat, or a feature piece for your deck. Oh, and that friend you never know what to buy for her birthday? One of these!
