I am itching to go on an unforgettable vacation. There are plenty of places I'd love to head to, but a seaside affair is what keeps calling my name. And because it's been years now since I've had the chance to lounge around with my toes in the sand, I want to go all out. I'm talking about chic swimsuits, stylish summer totes, sleek sandals, and, to top it all off, luxurious-feeling designer beach towels.
The beach-towel options are currently more than I can handle. There are statement-making picks that call out to the maximalist in me—think checkered prints, bold graphics, and oversize prints. Then, there are the understated, classic towels that pull at my minimalist heartstrings—hello, striped linen beach towels. All I know is that there is something for everyone, and it's super hard to pick just one.
Ahead, shop 30 of my top designer-beach-towel picks this season. It's a mixed bag of investment pieces that, with the right care, can be used for many seasons to come. Plus, I included budget-friendly options that only look expensive (no, seriously).
