After a wet patch for the last few days, thankfully, the sun is smiling on us again, so no wonder then that Hongkongers are once again making a beeline for the beaches. But while you sport that sexy swimwear, make sure your beach accessories are on point as well. Here is our checklist of some must-have beach accessories that you must carry to make beach day a perfect outing.

Shades

Protect your peepers with luxurious sunglasses while you sunbathe or lounge on a deckchair.  We suggest channelling your romantic self with Chloé’s new-season heart-shaped sunglasses that come with rose-tinted lenses and a gold-tone metal bridge and arms.

Tote Bag

 

A handy tote handy tote bag is as much an accessory as a necessity on a beach day. You couldn’t go wrong with this multicoloured, oversized tote bag from JW Anderson. With a relaxed structure, an open top, brown top handles and colourful stripes, it is sure to bring out your fun-loving side.

Straw Hat

 

Keep a straw hat in your tote for when the sun gets really high. Oversized straw hats are all the rage now, so the bigger, the better now. We recommend this embellished grosgrain-trimmed straw hat from Gucci. The signature ‘GG’ plaque and the shimmering red crystals add just a touch of luxury to your leisurely day.

 Beach Towel

 

Your beach towel is one of the most overlooked beach accessories, almost a hasty afterthought as you pack in those sun-blocks and shades. But it doesn’t have to be. Reveal the fashionista in you with Valentino’s new-season beach towel. Blending boldness with elegance, this cotton printed towel is at once stylish and sleek thanks to its classic combination of red, black and white.
