You might think the worst part of any trip is the packing....and TBH, you're not wrong. The only thing more stressful might just be realizing you forgot to buy something mid-throwing everything into a suitcase—and that's where Amazon comes in. Whatever your beach style calls for, we found 25 reasons to start your shop at the retailer. Think of these fresh additions as ways to mix up your existing summer wardrobe, rather than needing to shell out for a whole new closet. Try a pair of minimalist shades to upgrade every outfit, a printed sarong to spice up that go-to swimsuit you've relied on for years, or a crochet skirt you can wear with anything from a sporty bralette to a poplin button-down.
From kitschy-chic accessories to comfy sandals (and yes, plenty of bikinis and one-pieces for all), here's what's on our beach vacation wishlist:
The bucket hat trend just got a fruity revamp for summer. Madewell's cotton canvas pick is a must for stylish sun protection (but don't forget the SPF).
For a fuller coverage bikini that doesn't look frumpy, we love Onia's sunny yellow tie top. The straps are adjustable, and the ruffle detailing at the neckline is super sweet.
Not only do these slides fulfill our chunky sandal dreams, but their molded footbed ensures you can wear them to stroll the boardwalk and feel like you're walking on a literal cloud.
You'll need somewhere to stash your towel and latest beach read, and this roomy raffia tote is as trendy as it is practical.
Channel the best of '90s style in these sleek sunnies—the brown tortoiseshell pretty much goes with anything.
This color-blocked swimsuit is statement-making enough; all that's missing is a simple linen skirt to throw on and make it appropriate for seaside happy hour.
For those hot, sticky days that mandate a uniform of gauzy linens, these pull-on trousers (with a wide leg you'll be extra thankful for) are the way to go.
No beach day is complete without a plush towel, and this oversized striped pick is one you'll be reaching for year after year.
Just in case your seaside getaway turns adventurous: Teva's durable, quick-dry sandals can handle a more rugged path to get to a secluded swim spot.
Wear this patterned pareo with a one-piece or a bikini to bring some print to your look.
Seafolly's asymmetrical swim top doesn't just look great, it's also made from mostly recycled materials for an eco-conscious buy.
We love these Loeffler Randall zippered pouches for tucking away smaller belongings within a massive beach bag—and more importantly, keeping things like your SPF bottles and phone sand-free.
Vitamin A's lightweight linen shorts come in every color from splashy turquoise to terracotta and are just as perfect as a cover-up as they are for your travel day.
This cream-colored pareo is made from a cotton gauze fabric that happens to be convertible, so you can wrap it in multiple configurations to switch up your style with each wear.
Mismatched horizontal and vertical stripes make this classically preppy piece feel a lil bit more interesting.
If you're not on board with the chunky sandal trend, opt for versatility with a pair of TKEES that are pretty enough to wear out to dinner, too.
With a crisscross back and removable padding, RVCA's coral-colored top offers enough support for any beach sports on the agenda.
Shoulder ties and a belt elevate this otherwise basic one-piece swimsuit. And as an added bonus, it can serve double-duty as a bodysuit—just throw on a wrap skirt or a pair of linen trousers for a gorge ensemble that's restaurant-ready.
Kelly green adds a fun pop of color to this striped tote, which is also functional: It has an interior pocket that zips shut for security and is machine-washable.
Mix in a bit of the MVP of the summer (crochet, that is) with a black midi skirt you can wear out dancing post-beach.
