Statement-Making Towels
While you can’t go wrong with classic nautical stripes, it’s fun to make a statement with vibrant colors and patterns draped over your lounge chair.
Floral Print
Whether you’re stealing 15 minutes on your back deck or packing for an extended vacation, this Rifle Paper Co. patterned towel ($55) conjures visions of the Italian coast.

Pendleton’s “Towel for Two”
Pendleton’s classic Southwest-inspired pattern gets a summery spin with this aquamarine motif. The “towel for two” ($79.95) is fabulous for a day of lounging at the pool or on the beach, but because of its size, it’s also great for picnics and lounging on the lawn.

Technicolor Towel
While more of a blanket than an ultra-absorbent towel, this technicolor option ($50.99) is cozy and sets a colorful-yet-chic scene for your pool day.

Totes & Coolers
No pool getup is complete without the right bag to tote all of your essentials! And, like a good tote bag, something to keep your refreshments cool on a long, hot day by the water is essential. Amazon offers coolers of all shapes and sizes, but we like soft-sided coolers for pool days, as they’re easier and more comfortable to carry.
Tip-Proof Rubber Tote
Available in three sizes and 12 colors, this rubber tote is waterproof and tip-proof, making it ideal for all sorts of occasions, from the pool to the farmers’ market. The price ranges from $44.99 to $74.99, depending on the size.

Woven Tote
This striped woven bag ($29.99) is more of a “fashion pick” — it’s less practical because it can’t be slung over your shoulder, but it’s simple and chic and will look fabulous with a variety of beachy looks. (If you love carefully styling your pool ‘fits, be sure to check out these waterproof jewelry options.)

Bonus: Magnetic Hat Clip
Free up your hands by securing your hat (or even a thin scarf) with this magnetic clip you can attach to any strap. This well-rated Amazon find ($24.99) comes in three neutral shades — black, brown, and white. (This is also a great gift bag addition for birthdays, bachelorette trips, and more!)

Insulated Leather
Who knew?! Igloo has a line of ultra-stylish, genuine, insulated leather bags! With styles starting at only $42.49, you can choose from a crossbody, tote (pictured here), backpack, or an even larger 24-can tote. We love the versatility of the cognac shade, but these bags are also available in black or metallic pink.

Backpack Cooler
The Corkcicle EOLA Backpack ($149.95-$159.95) is made of stylish but practical neoprene. It is cute and comfy but also insulated and leak-proof. Choose from five colors: black, light blue, periwinkle, rose quartz, and coral (pictured here).

Pool Floats
No proper pool day is complete without a good, long float. The options on Amazon range from foam noodles to elaborate inflatable docks, but we’ve got our eye on these three fun “middle of the road” options.
Captain’s Pool Float
The brand Big Joe makes a variety of clever pool floats. This captain’s chair design ($83.99) is stuffed with “buoyant beans,” so there’s no inflation required, and the design includes sturdy handles for carrying. It’s available in 20 patterns and colors, but we’re partial to this classic tropical print!

Wide Lounger Float
An oversized lounger is a must; these are great for relaxing on or off the water. Available in two generously sized options and various colors, this pretty-in-pink float ($29.99-$36.99) is a practical go-to for the warmer months.

Floating Cabana
FUNBOY is another great go-to for pool floats, offering everything from loungers and tube floats to clever floating cabanas! This cabana ($75.43) is complete with large wells for icing snacks and drinks, cup holders, and a fringed canopy for a bit of shade. Perfect for hanging out in the shallow end.

Bonus Pick: Air Pump
While not a particularly sexy purchase, if your tribe loves to float, it’s a good idea to have an air pump on hand that can inflate floats and toys quickly! This one is highly rated — the price varies based on your color choice, running from $18.99 to $23.95.
