The beach is the perfect place to reconnect, switch off and experience life with all five senses. But going to the beach isn’t just lying in the sun, it’s about enjoying a unique experience where the water, breeze, sunshine and sand take centre stage. And just like with any ritual, some things are essential.
From turquoise waters to hidden coves to long stretches of coast looking over the ocean, each beach has its unique charm, but they all have something in common: they’re worth experiencing in comfort and style. To get the most out of the experience, it’s important to choose the right products that will accompany you each day on the beach.The best selection of beachwear, together with the ideal must-have accessories in your bag are the key. Let’s go over the essentials you must have for the beach: bikinis, flip flops, towels, sun cream, sunglasses and hats that combine style with functionality and comfort, for a weekend getaway or long holidays by the sea.
Beachwear: comfort and style under the sun
When talking about women’s beachwear, it’s important to look at swimming costume and bikini trends for this summer. If you want to get your beach outfit right, don’t forget to combine your swimming costume with comfortable and stylish dresses, and of course footwear that makes you set trends from the feet up. It’s time to peel back the layers and refresh your wardrobe so that you can enjoy the sun with elegance.
Bikinis
Whatever your body type, there’s a bikini that suits your figure. The beaches will once again fill up with classics such as the triangle bikini, in the trending colours of yellow, green and orange, as well as prints. Animal print bikinis are once again a trend in beachwear.
As you’re going to be on the beach all day, the key is to find clothes that are comfortable for you. From bikinis or swimming costumes with touches of lingerie to timeless classics like the black Classic Brasil bikini. On our website, you’ll find bikinis that adapt perfectly and allow you to enjoy endless days of sea and sunshine in a very stylish beach outfit.
Dresses
The havaianas travel dress in long or short form is a must when it comes to packing your case this summer. It is available in several colours and doesn’t wrinkle, so it’s perfect for completing your best beach look this summer.
Choose a model with a longer skirt if you usually go for a drink with friends afterwards, or if you usually hang out at the beach bar to eat or have a drink, with a short beach dress you won’t be compromising your style. Although white beach dresses will never go out of style, save them for a special Ibiza-style party, as this year colours are trending.

Beach bag
If you’re thinking about getting a new bag this summer, havaianas has various models and sizes of beach bag that are both stylish and functional. There are options for all tastes and needs, designed for any plan by the sea.
Must-haves in your beach bag
We know that sometimes it can be a hassle to carry a lot of things to the beach, that’s why we’re offering a large and lightweight bag that can fit all of your essential products for a long day of sun and sea.
Sun cream
Sunburn can ruin an amazing day at the beach, so a good sun cream is essential in your beach bag. Make sure you reapply every 2-3 hours. There are so many options nowadays, so you can choose the format that best suits you: spray, cream, stick… though always try and give your skin a break during the hottest hours.
Towel
If you think you’ve put a lot of things in your beach bag and you want to leave space for a good book, a game or your water bottle, you can always optimise space with a sarong towel that combines style and functionality. It’s a great solution if you don’t like lugging lots of things to the beach.
Toiletry bag
Beach sand, water and wind are your mobile phone’s worst enemies, so it’s always a good idea to include a toiletry bag for the beach that you can put inside your bag, together with other accessories such as clips, a hairbrush or some cash for the hammock or a beer. The havaianas mini neon bag allows you to keep all those things you end up needing perfectly organised and protected, without sacrificing on style.

Accessories that make a difference
To triumph on your first summer getaway, getting your beach outfit right is just as important as having the best accessories. Complete your beach look with these accessories that will make an impression wherever you go.
Hats and caps
Caps help to protect your face from the sun, but they also add a modern touch to your look. Combine your cap with the rest of your accessories and clothes for a total avant-garde and sporty look that adds functionality to your outfit.
If you want a more elegant and sophisticated look, you can always opt for a raffia or bucket-style hat with embroidery or details that reflect your personality. You’ll go to the beach looking stylish from head to toe.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses are one of the accessories that most help to convey your personality. In addition to fulfilling their function of protecting you from the sun, they can complete a look or even modify facial features. That’s why it’s so important to choose the right sunglasses model or have several options available so you can use the ones that best suit your chosen style.
Protect your eyes stylishly and with a good filter in the designs and colours that best reflect your style. From aviator-style sunglasses to unisex models, with large lenses or coloured frames, there’s a sunglasses model for you that radiates joy and suits your face perfectly.
Thermal bottles
The best way to protect your skin from the sun is a high-quality sun cream, but it is also key to be hydrated from the inside, so don’t forget to include a thermal bottle full of cold water in your beach bag. There are lots of options in terms of materials and designs, with stainless steel offering the best guarantees regarding resistance and thermal insulation. There are colours and designs to suit all tastes, so the hardest thing will be to choose just one.
Remember that you’ll always find the latest products in our havaianas online store and in our physical havaianas stores so you can enjoy the summer in style, comfort and with that unmistakeable touch that only havaianas knows how to provide.
