We've dished on where to find summer's finest swimwear (even if stores are already picked over in June), but you need more than a bathing suit to hit the beach in style. Here we present seven items to carry along, including Illesteva eyewear, a cozy American Apparel sweater for when the sun goes down, a sunburn soother, and a Pendleton towel—plus of course, a Will Leather Goods tote to bring it in. Just make sure to pack the sunscreen.
