Summertime means rest and relaxation as life heats up over the coming months. So, to keep you as cool as possible, our trend-spotting Jamie Chandlee, CEO of Rank & Style, and her team have selected the top ten best recommendations for you to enjoy.

SHOW YOUR STRIPES

No matter what water you dive into, you’ll want to towel off at some point. The fashion-forward choice for towels this season is bold stripes. This luxury oversized beach towel is plush but cut close, so you don’t pick up any extra sand. It can be monogrammed, too.
