A mix of lifestyle accessories, sun-approved beauty products, beach gear, and casual everyday wear that you’ll be reaching for time and time again, from sun up to sun down. Ahead, the essentials for everything under the sun to get summer started off right.

In a tranquil blue hue, this scoop-neck tank in a super-soft cotton jersey knit layers effortlessly over a bikini top and your go-to cutoffs.

This cotton T-shirt is great for everyday summer wear. With a slightly faded look, it has the same soft, lived-in feel as your favorite vintage tee, just without all the holes.
