#1 Start with the basics
A lightweight cover-up to wear over your bikini is a must. Don’t shy away from bright prints or beads. They are perfectly appropriate at the beach. Next is a wide-brimmed fedora hat, not only because it is exquisitely stylish, but it also protects the face and eyes from the burning sun. Fringes and woven raffia hats are currently a rage. You also need a fab beach bag to carry your essentials. The ones made of straw never fail to catch the eye. In case you grow tired of it later, simply embellish it with a few beads.
