Sizzling accessories for your beach trip
Antony Peto Salvador straw hat, £143, matchesfashion.com
Understated but clearly very hip, this high-quality hat looks equally perfect on an urban rooftop pool or terrace as it does in an Indian Ocean hideaway.
Athena Procopiou Inez printed silk kimono, £305, netaporter.com
Kaleidoscopic colours take the season’s colour trend up a notch. You’ll be sure to catch eyes with this gorgeous piece, which would work over neutral colours.
Agent Provocateur beach towel, £135, agentprovocateur.com
This soft velour towel takes on a whole new level of sass, we think, with the patent portable halter. The towel is good for those who want extra heat: the black will soak it up.
Belle by Sigerson Morrson Randy sandals, £150, matchesfashion.com
Totally lovable sandals that are seriously on-trend with their nod to neon. We like the no-nonsense flat sole and good support from the ankle strap.
Missoni patchwork knitted wrap dress, £510, harveynichols.com
OK, it’s dry-clean only so maybe not one to pull on over the sandy wet swimsuit. It is, though, one for a seriously elegant look for a beach or poolside dinner.
Diane Von Furstenberg Aaliyah printed silk-georgette kaftan, £335, netaporter.com
Supremely elegant boho look from the queen of prints, with a lovely floating diaphanous texture that’s perfect for the poolside cocktails.
Cath Kidston Pinny Flowers Tote Handbag, £45, johnlewis.com
Cute tote bag with CK’s signature practical touches: finished in practical wipe clean oilcloth, it also has magnetic fastening and an internal zip pocket.
