My favorite beach hats are straw – they’re timeless and breathable so they’re comfortable on a hot day. My absolute favorite beach hat I own is a striped paper hat (above) that I picked up on vacation one year. It folds down and is easily packable.

Here are a couple of straw hats I love!

I also tend to pick up more “trendy” sunglasses from Anthropologie because their own brand tends to be a reasonable price point and it’s not a big deal if they are out of fashion next year. Here’s a roundup of my current favorites!
