The One Item You Can't Leave for Spring Break Without

So you’ve booked the flight for your next spring getaway and have already bought that new Instagram-worthy swimsuit. The only other thing you need is a stylish beach bag to hold all your necessities. After all, something’s got to hold your sunscreen, Bluetooth speaker and beach read, right?
Finding the perfect, chic beach bag is just as tricky as finding the perfect purse. While you want it to hold everything from bulky towels to your sunglasses, it also has to feel like you. Also key: finding a tote made out of a fabric you won’t mind getting a little sandy.
From the classic raffia woven bag to a large canvas carryall, we found some of our favorite beach totes so you can think less about how you’re going to carry everything to the shore and more about the ocean breeze and sun-kissed skin. Check them out below.
Nail that French It girl vibe.
You'll easily be the coolest girl at the beach.
