Ten Ways to Perfect Your Summer Beach Weekends

FROM THE EXPERTS: This natural sunscreen has won more awards than any other sunscreen line.

HELPFUL TIP: Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before heading outside.

Trust the bullseye to get a cheap, push-up bikini right. At $18 a pop it's easy to see why this top-selling number is on the top of the charts, and the prints really pop with black bottoms. 

Show off your hourglass figure in this flattering suit that also looks great with a long, flowing skirt. If your BBQ is turning into a pool party later, this is the ideal transitional suit. 

These vintage-inspired, lightweight frames feel right at home on the beach, in the country or dashing around the city. We love the pink hue and frame colors, which are a study in attractive contrast. 

BEST FOR: Consider this one of your go-to garments when it comes to traveling. The fabric hardly wrinkles and you'll feel nice and breezy as you sightsee!

STYLE WITH: Pair with your favorite light wash bootcut jeans to really amp up the '70s factor. 

USERS SAID: "My little one loves this. The fit is true to size, and the pattern is cute enough for kids without having silly characters. We’ve had good luck with ON bathing suits for our girls—they get heavily used and hold up well to sun and chlorine."

STYLE WITH: Grab this matching square-neck one-piece to nail the mommy-and-me look.

If you balk at being described as a hipster then you probably are one. Stop fighting and embrace it by donning any of these classic fedoras that also have SPF50-- because a burnt scalp just isn't cool, even if you're the only one doing it. 

LOVED FOR: Serious, sparkling iridescence that's borderline magical

BEST FOR: Making a uniquely playful statement

For those who have nothing to hide (or don't want to spend time searching for their phone) this clear beach tote will do the trick and then some. However, you won't have any excuses, so if you're trying to preserve expensive sunscreen don't bring it. 

You wouldn't let your poor nose hang out in the sun all day without any protection, so why should your lips and their equally sensitive skin be any different? This nourishing balm glides on smoothly, protects against the sun and can be worn alone or under lipstick.
