Prep for Summer With These Trending Beach Towels

Beach season is upon us.

It’s time to feel the sand between your toes, dip your feet into the pool and hopefully survive the day without getting weird tan lines in conspicuous places. While we can’t help you with the latter, we can make sure you are prepped with a beach towel that won’t cramp your style. Here, we’ve rounded up five of our favorite beach towel trends to try out this summer.

Juicy Fruits

We can’t be caught going to the beach without our freshly cut watermelon–it’s arguably one of the best beach snacks. There’s just something about fruit that evokes a tropical state of mind, which is exactly why you need to see your favorite produce on your beach towel. Whether you’re into classic citrus or can’t get enough avocado (yes, that counts as a fruit), these fruity patterns will be on trend no matter the season.

Change Your Stripes

Stripes on a beach towel? We know, you’ve seen them before, but not like this. Put a new spin on this timeless style with wavy patterns, lots of white space and pastel color palettes that will take your beach style up a notch. Picture it: you, curled up on the sand with your favorite book in hand, market tote filled with citrus casually strewn by your side. This is how chic people do stripes.

Go Figure

Girls just wanna have sun (sorry) when summer hits, so why not embrace that mentality on your next girls’ trip to the beach? We’re fans of minimalist line drawings and repeating patterns that tbh can let you get away with showing all the boobs and butts you want in public, giving new meaning to beach bumming.

“Beach, Please”

Let your towel do the talking. Bold typography never goes out of style, and we’ve seen tons of fresh approaches to tried and true sayings. Whether you want to spread a little positivity (“be kind”) or keep the chill vibes going as you read poolside (read: “chillin’,”) , these towels have got you covered. And when in doubt? “Bagels bagels bagels” has a nice ring to it.

#TBT

The dream of the 90s is alive in everything from chunky dad sneakers to the return of the fanny pack. We’re way on board with the resurgence of all the trends only 90s kids will truly remember. (Speaking of which, are we the only ones who recall Sock’em Boppers and colorful floppy disks?). Cute smiley faces, daisies and squiggly shapes straight out of the Saved by the Bell intro, then, are all musts for your beach gear this summer.
