Summer is here, and whether you’re heading to the beach, the pool, or planning a sunny getaway, being prepared makes all the difference. In my latest YouTube video, I break down exactly what to pack in your beach bag and show you the most flattering swimsuits for all body types. So you can feel confident, comfortable, and chic all season long.
🎒 What’s in My Beach Bag?
Let’s be real—forgetting sunscreen or not having a fresh pair of sunnies can totally kill the vibe. That’s why I’ve rounded up the ultimate beach bag checklist, including:
- SPF 50+ Sunscreen (Face + Body)
- Hydrating Mist or Aloe Spray for a midday refresh
- Chic Sunglasses with UV protection
- Oversized Towel or Turkish Blanket
- Reusable Water Bottle to stay cool and hydrated
- Healthy Beach Snacks (Think: fruit, trail mix, or protein bars)
- A Good Book or Magazines
- Hair Ties + Wide-Brim Hat for that sun-shielding glam
- Portable Charger because, let’s face it, selfies.
Pro Tip: Keep everything organized in a water-resistant pouch or clear zip bag so your tech and toiletries stay dry.
👙 Best Swimsuits for Every Body Type
In the video, I try on a range of swimsuits and explain how to choose styles that highlight your favorite features. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Hourglass Shape: High-waisted bikinis and wrap tops emphasize curves without sacrificing support.
- Pear Shape: Look for tops with detailing or patterns to balance proportions; high-cut bottoms elongate the legs.
- Athletic Build: Cut-out one-pieces or bold prints add definition and shape.
- Curvy/Plus Size: Underwire bikini tops, ruched one-pieces, and swim skirts offer structure and style.
- Petite Frames: Triangle bikinis or plunging necklines lengthen the torso for a taller look.
