From a picnic in the city to relaxing on the beach: 25 things for a perfect summer
By the end of May, the weather finally began to resemble a summer one so, long walks in the city, forays into nature and even vacations become a very real prospect. Leisure activities include not only badminton and frisbee rackets, but also suitable equipment: comfortable shoes, lightweight dresses made of fabric, hats, sunglasses and little things like a beach towel and an umbrella. We have compiled a detailed list of everything that may come in handy in the next few months.
Hammock Carhartt WIP
In general, the brand specializes in basic items of work clothing adapted to the urban environment, but does not forget about a relaxed rest. The nylon hammock folds easily into the boot and fits in a backpack.
2550 rub.
Kimono Zara
Kimonos this summer will press trench coats and jeans, which we used to save ourselves on cool evenings. And on the beach a long model with wide sleeves will replace the pareo. The main thing - choose a model from a fabric that is not friable and do not be afraid of bright prints.
5599 rub.
Topshop Romper (by WLDR)
Short overalls British brand produces every summer for the last five years. This scarlet model with a large floral print is in a good way universal: you can wear it in the city, with a voluminous jacket and grandmothers, and at a music festival somewhere in Europe, adding a pair of shoes and a wide-brimmed hat.
£37
Dress By Malene Birger
A laconic cotton dress in a thin strip from the main attribute of a beach holiday can be easily transformed into the basis of everyday wardrobe - just add comfortable espadrilles and a light trench to it.
£192
Bigmouth inflatable circle
It is convenient to take a cheerful inflatable circle in the shape of a watermelon on trips: it occupies almost no space in a suitcase. But it is also worth walking to the nearest outdoor pool. To arrange a one-hour session in the middle of a busy city is the best way to spend a hot summer day.
1240 rub.
Clare V. bag
One of its most recognizable models - a round bag with short handles and a shoulder strap - the brand released this time in a “lightweight” form, from woven sisal. Sisal is a natural and durable material for the manufacture of ropes and fishing nets, which is also not afraid of moisture. So, the bag is perfect for trips to the beach, especially since the size allows you to throw in it and a swimsuit with a towel, and a cosmetics bag with a book. A similar model for a more modest amount can be found in Zara, but you should not count on long service in the case of the Spanish mass market.
16 270 rub.
Espadrilles Rouje
The young French brand is doing well: dresses in small flowers and summer wedge shoes fly like hot cakes. Espadrilles on a small platform - perhaps the most comfortable urban shoes - remained in only one color, but the dimensions are still there in full.
€95
Teva slippers
Initially barely perceptible on the foot sandals were invented for sports rafting on the rivers, but rather quickly the shoes migrated to the casual wardrobe. Bright slippers are perfect for the beach, especially if the bottom is pebbly in the sea or you are going to get to the corals.
3990 rub.
Set of bamboo tableware Crate & Barrel
Reasonable alternative to disposable plastic dishes: bamboo cutlery with plates and look prettier, and environmental damage is much less.
$14,95
Drink Dispenser Williams & Oliver
A five-liter dispenser is guaranteed to gather around it the whole company - especially if instead of the traditional orange lemonade you come up with a fresher recipe: for example, with a cucumber and tarragon or cherry and watermelon. The only negative - the capacity is suitable exclusively for soft drinks.
2590 rub.
Flashlight H & M Home
Cute decor element that looks like a fashion accessory. Disputed from the point of view of functionality, but absolutely necessary for gatherings on the cottage terrace or evening picnics in the park.
1499 rub.
Towel & Other Stories
Hand embroidery is gaining more and more popularity, and major brands are trying to keep up, replacing human labor with machine work. The Swedish mass market has a moderately elegant beach towel that can even be tied instead of a pareo, when you want to walk to the nearest seaside bar.
€39
Hammamas Plaid
A wide cotton towel can be used for its intended purpose, that is, after the pool, but it is better to leave it for a picnic in the park. A small company can easily be placed on the rug, as well as everything that is necessary for it: board games or cards, a snack basket and a dispenser with lemonade (or stronger).
£55
Cap Stussy
It is difficult to ignore the abundance of all shades of pink on the podium and on the hangers in stores. But if a fuchsia-colored jacket still hesitates, it can be limited to accessories. Powder cap Stussy will have the way, when you get out on a picnic, but in the city it will be quite appropriate - for example, paired with a voluminous jacket or dress on thin straps.
2990 rub.
Topshop hair dressing
If you like to swim, and to wash sea salt out of your hair is not very good, look at the wide hair bands. Laconic or with large patterns can be found in the mass market, and models decorated with embroidery and sequins - from expensive brands like Gucci and Maison Michel.
£6
Hat Lack of Color
The fervent Panama of palm leaves as if assumes a beach holiday, but also for walks around the city or forays into the nature is quite suitable. In the end, her one is enough to give her urban image outrageous holiday fler.
$99
Beach umbrella IKEA
When planning a vacation on "wild" beaches, you should not only think about entertainment, but also the necessary equipment: there will probably not be sun beds and umbrellas. Therefore, it is easier to take a blanket and a beach umbrella with you, especially since the latter is sold in the nearest IKEA for ridiculous money.
699 rub.
Karen Walker glasses
Sunglasses - a thing necessary in the city and beyond. There are no restrictions on the style of the rim this season: designers produce retro models and futuristic glasses, fancy, with colored glass and traditional dark lenses. It is best to focus on the original data - the shape of the face and your own preferences.
15 000 rub.
Boombotix Portable Speaker
Miniature and light - it is convenient to throw a column in a backpack - the Boombot model can withstand up to 8 hours of battery life. It is enough to listen to half of the main albums of this summer.
2490 rub.
Sunnylife Underwater Camera
The camera for underwater shooting will keep memories of summer vacation for the year ahead, so it is better to sacrifice a place in a suitcase and, having laid out the tenth dress, pack it. Important: film for shooting will have to purchase separately.
1300 rub.
Mara Hoffman swimsuit
We have already talked about swimsuits, but we can not fail to mention another brand that you should look at. Mara Hoffman is primarily a simple bikini and fused models of non-trivial colors. Specifically, this is reminiscent of the most famous work of American Roy Lichtenstein, and canvases of suprematists, and a striped beach ball.
£167
Picnic basket Crate & Barrel
You will appreciate the advantages of a picnic basket when you get out into the nature of a big company. Thanks to the hard form, the sandwiches and fruits in it will not be confused, and all the dirty dishes after lunch can be removed there as well.
$70
Zara Shorts
Light shorts in a large flower are suitable for the hottest days in the city: they look more interesting than the usual jeans, and due to the light material and a free fit they will not hold down movements.
1899 rub.
Peak & Other Stories
Crumpled styling is the main minus of all hats, with the exception of the visor. Particularly will appeal to owners of long hair, whose lush tail or voluminous bundle does not fit under one hat.
€19
Top monki
Even if the first item on your summer to-do list is “lie down and rest” exactly as pretty Husa does with Monki T-shirts, it will still be much nicer with a book in the park, and not on the sofa in the living room.
699 rub.
