3. The Bucket Hat-Trick
Worn by street stylers the world over, the bucket hat is no longer just the domain of Dad’s head during fishing trips. Wear it anywhere, anytime for some serious street cred.
4. The Designer Beach Bag
Play it close to your chest with a hands-free beach bag. Prada’s sunshine yellow regenerated nylon backpack is made from plastic trash found floating in the ocean.
5. The Tactful T-Shirt
While there is always a place in your wardrobe for a plain white tee, wearing your sartorial allegiances on your chest delivers an opportunity to exude a fashionable flex.
6. The Sleek Shades
Limited layers make changing your look a challenge in the heat, with the onus often falling on accessories. Enter flip sunglasses, which can be worn with shades secured to the lenses, or flicked up with finesse.
