As summer approaches, the long and warm nights, the eruption in the afternoon sun, and the days of wandering by the pool are intoxicating.

After being kept indoors for several months, whether it is to avoid the cold in winter or to maintain the lockdown, the warm weather makes us feel dizzy.

Of course, we have been preparing our necessities; the latest bikinis, shiny new shades, and of course the stronger SPF in our morning routine.

But in the rush to prepare for the daily beach excursions, there is an accessory that is often overlooked: a chic towel.

Not just anything old is enough. The right towel should provide enough coverage (from head to toe, provide space for our bag), have excellent drying ability, and provide the perfect background for our sun-drenched Instagram photos.

We have collected the most luxurious shopping options.
