Nowadays, lounging by the beach or the pool is not simply about finding the right swimsuit. Having an Insta-worthy one-piece is only half the battle: what about your accessories? From basic beach-to-brunch cover-ups to increasingly ambitious pool floaties, there are many options to consider. But one item often overlooked is something that everybody needs with them: a towel.
Why bring just any old basic towel with you, when you can indulge in a huge variety of fabrics, shapes and patterns? It's an inexpensive and practical must-have item, so get experimental with your selection to add a bit of fun and flair to your waterside ensemble. Whether you've been dying to get in on the round towel trend, or are addicted to sassy slogans, there's a towel out there for you.
So lay back in your yellow aviators and metallic bikini – wicker bag to one side – snap a selfie on your new towelling backdrop and watch the double taps roll in.
