Perfect Pool Party Supplies

By Mikkel Hyldebrandt

The season of pool parties is here, and whether you’re going to One Magical Weekend in Orlando or just lounging at a friend’s pool, you need to consider bringing these essentials, so you not only look good, but also have the staples for a great day poolside.

Shades

Sunglasses are not only necessary, but an excellent way to add a little swag to your look. Have fun with it and don’t spend a fortune on them so you can wear them in the water, too.

SPF

Like it or not, any and all skin types need SPF in the sun. You may not burn, but the sun can still damage your skin.

Cocokind Mineral-Based Daily SPF ($25)

Bag

With all these belongings, you need to haul them in style, so find a good tote for it all and proclaim to be you beach/pool bag!

Public Goods Reusable Cotton Tote Bage ($25)

Outfit

Go with something that’s practical, so you don’t need to bring a full change of clothes – like this set from Kenny Flowers with a pair of swim trunks and a matching terrycloth shirt that will also towel you dry.

Hat

A little extra shade is sometimes necessary, so why not look cool while sporting a large-brimmed sun hat!

Towel

Unless you’re going to a beach club, you probably need to bring your own towel. A Turkish cotton towel is both lightweight, super absorbent, and it dries quickly – and it looks cool!

Drinkware

Solo cups are great but do a bad job of keeping you drink cold. Bringing your own drinkware will not only keep your drinks cool, but make you look cool as well.
