Paired with your favorite summer sandals and a woven tote stocked with your must-have beauty essentials (hello, tinted SPF and lip oil), these towels complete the look, whether you're poolside at a boutique hotel or stretched out on the sand with a paperback. Because let's be honest: Even your SPF deserves a stylish companion. From high fashion to budget-friendly finds, these are the beach towels editors and shoppers alike swear by. Sun-soaked days call for a spritz in hand, feet in sand, and, of course, your go-to beach towel. Matouk's Zebra Palm towel, rendered in bold animal print, brings a sense of high fashion to your beachside rotation.

The Best Coolers for Every Type of Summer Chiller
Whether you're packing up frankfurters for a weekend in the woods or rolling up to a pool party with brewskies to share, you're going to need some portable cold storage, aka a cooler. These days, there is a cooler for every conceivable Enneagram; the folks at Igloo have gone full Oreo, launching a bunch of vibey retro coolers in previously unseen hues and some extremely niche branded coolers, while luxury brands like Business & Pleasure have engineered an archetypal Talented Mr. Ripley -esque , sea-ready ice chest, and the same people who gave us the Ninja Swirl crafted one of the most expedition-worthy coolers the back of your SUV has ever seen. Here's what the coolest coolers out there tell the world about the people who tote them. 'My Other Car is a Ninja Cooler': The Ninja FrostVault With its sturdy, sand-ready wheels and cavernous interior, the Ninja FrostVault is like an ATV for your many beach snacks. This massive, dad-coded cooler keeps cold cuts perfectly chilled for literal days, perfect for camping trips and other expeditions, and it includes a chilled dry zone that keeps dry stuff fridge-cold and never soggy for all your Type A packing needs. Prices taken at time of publishing. 'I Came to Party': The Igloo Retro Fanny Pack You can't be bothered with a bunch of details. (That's for the Ninja FrostVault crowd.) You may be here for a short time, but you're definitely here for a good time, which is why you've tucked exactly three cans of Ranch Water hard seltzer and an airplane bottle of tequila in your temperature-controlled Retro Fanny Pack before donning a bucket hat and hitting the streets. Prices taken at time of publishing. 'I'm Studying for My Level 2 Somm Exam': A Wine-Optimized Cooler Bag Only you, a wine rep who likes to crush grapes in quaint villages on your off time, can truly know the best bottle for every occasion. It's a gift and a burden, but fortunately, Monti's soft quilted Mayfly cooler backpack can house three of your favorites. Prices taken at time of publishing. Need room for some Mimolette and tarali? Check out the Corkcicle Beverage Bucket Bag with a pocket for just about everything. Prices taken at time of publishing. 'I Leisure So Hard, Weekend Is a Verb': Business & Pleasure's Hemingway Cooler Bench This is the kind of conspicuous cooler that telegraphs, 'I own a boat,' and not just because the design was, according to Business & Pleasure, 'inspired by European car designs and luxury speed boats,' though that helps. After snagging a can of Nomadica Bubbly Rosé from its roomy 35-quart interior, you can sit back on this cooler's detachable cushion and marvel at its sumptuous teak lid, glossy finish, and snazzy gold handles as you sail off into the sunset. Prices taken at time of publishing. $399 at Business & Pleasure 'I Would Prefer Not to Get Up': ParkIt's Voyager Cooler If you've ever gone thirsty because you refuse to dislodge yourself from your lawn chair while basting in your own sweat on a languid summer afternoon, I've got good news: This brilliant folding outdoor chair from ParkIt has a cooler built right in, so your *getting up and walking over there* days are over. Take the chair/cooler to any music festival or outdoor gathering, and you are guaranteed to make new friends whether you want them or not. Prices taken at time of publishing. 'I Once Caught a Fish THIS BIG': Canyon's Pro 45-Quart Cooler You often find yourself in bear country, and thus, you need a cooler that is not only bear-proof but also comes with a lifetime warranty just in case a grizzly tries any funny stuff. The PRO 45 Quart Canyon Cooler was built to hold a weekend's worth of food and drink for two (or an overnight's worth of stuff for four, or 15 minute's worth of food for a bear), and since it was designed for enjoying in the great outdoors where gadget multitasking is mandatory, the included cooler divider also doubles as a food-safe surface. Prices taken at time of publishing. 'I Look Great in Jorts': The Igloo KoolTunes Long before iTunes, there was KoolTunes. Imagine it: Billy Joel's 1989 classic 'We Didn't Start the Fire' absolutely blasting out of an Igloo Playmate cooler while you dole out Bud heavies to your Breakfast Club -looking crew of friends. Though they discontinued the original version in 1990, Igloo read the room and brought the KoolTunes back a few years ago, reestablishing it as the summer essential it truly is (and now it pairs with Bluetooth). And while we're on the topic of Igloo's fanny pack coolers, I would be doing you a disservice if I failed to mention that the brand has also designed one to look like a WWE Championship Belt for you to fill with… Slim Jims??? Prices taken at time of publishing. Stay cool, kids. The freshest news from the food world every day
