Essential #1: The Overachieving One-Piece

Essential #3: The Glamourous Sun Hat

Style Hint: Wide brims are dramatic and healthy! When picking a hat always go for the widest you can find to protect your face, decollete, and shoulders—and speaking of brims, we love details like cheeky sayings and raw edges. They make any sundeck (even if yours is on a city roof) feel tropical.

Essential #6: Eye-Saving Sunnies

Style Hint: Glare from long drives and reflections off ocean views can strain your eyes, that’s why it’s more important than ever to invest in polarized glasses when you’re spending lots of time in the sun. We love the colorful brims and rose colored lenses that make everything, well, as rosy as you’d want your vacation to be.

Essential #7: The Worry-Free Hoop

Style Hint: Go for resin hoops. This summer they’ve been spotted on celebs like Bella Hadid, who travels often and knows the last thing you want to worry about on vacation is complicated jewelry. The magic of resin earrings is that they lighten up your look and still make a statement. Wear them all day and all night (they can stand up to splashing water) and whatever else your vacation has in store.

Style Hint: Sachajuan is Hinted’s go-to ocean spray for soft, textured hair that’s never sticky, dry or dull. A few spritzes gives you the closest thing you can get to “just back from the beach” waves. Plus, it works well with fine hair (unlike many brands that are too heavy) and has a light scent that won’t overpower you.
