The start of June means beach days are officially on the horizon. While summer technically doesn't start until June 20, I'm beyond ready to dive into longer days, warmer weather, and, of course, some leisure time near the water. Since the weather isn't quite there yet (hello, June gloom), I'm taking this time to stock up on chic summer accessories in anticipation of the upcoming season.
There are many summer 2024 trends worth considering, but the specific items that caught my attention lean a bit more elevated and timeless. I like to invest in pieces I picture myself wearing for many seasons to come to maximize my purchase, so I tend to balance new trends with summer classics. My shopping carts are currently full of items like raffia tote bags, beaded jewelry, colorful sandals, and striped swimsuits that I considered summer staples. Whether you're headed on vacation or looking forward to relaxing at home, below are the 36 best swimsuits, tote bags, and accessories for summer.
