With the weather finally coming through and our love of adventure, summer is the perfect time to hit the beach and enjoy being outside in Michigan. Whether you're planning a tropical vacation or simply lounging at Belle Isle, having the right summer beach essentials is a must. Let's explore some of our favorite options that we all need to add to our beach bags this summer!
1. A Relaxed Fit Button Down Top
We love a loose, easy button down top with jeans or shorts, because it can also double as a swim cover up! The oversized the better, it can even be worn as a dress. We are loving the Natalia Button Up to be paired with white pants or shorts. The Lalo top is also an easy top to wear with just about anything. You won't want to miss these tops.
2. Baseball Caps
Honestly, several options of baseball caps are a must have. These are great for all of the outdoor events that you want to have handy when you need to shield the sun from your head. Tigers games, sporting your favorite team, or even a sassy saying on the front. Our Bad Hair Day Hat is perfect for Summer! Carry this around in your purse or beach bag so you have it ready. Shop our hat collection to view all of the options!
3. Classic and Cute Sunglasses
You can never have too many pairs of sunglasses. Especially staple colors like brown and black and styles like aviators are always perfect for all occasions. We are loving the Billie Sunglasses and the Lea Sunglasses. Both are fashionable, light weight and you'll carry them year round.
4. Sunscreen is an absolute must!
Shopping local is one of our favorite things to do and what a better way to get your summer essentials locally! We love Bohmey Beauty in Ann Arbor, and they carry some amazing makeup and skincare products that you will definitely need. Goop Unseen Sunscreen is an invisible, weightless sunscreen that you will definitely need to carry with you everywhere you go!
5. Easy slide sandals
A slide sandal is always a must for the beach, but let's make it cute! We love a good detail, print or color, that can be worn with many looks. We love the Heatwave sandal for a pop of red for the 4th of July!
Summertime is the best time in Michigan and now you are fully prepared for yours! Don't forget to apply SPF!
