You have the suit, you’ve bought the 303 Magazine Pool Party tickets, but you’re still missing something. That something is the right accessory for your look. Let’s face it, when planning to go to a pool party we tend to pack the sunscreen, the towel and our suit but rarely do we know how to accessorize poolside.
Here are the 5 must-wear accessories to the 303 Pool Party:
1. The Body Necklace
Body Chain, Nasty Gal $28
Low Body Chain, Nasty Gal $28
Body Necklace, Nasty Gal $28
The best part about wearing a body necklace is that it’s just the right amount of bling without the sweat. Pair one of these unique necklaces with a black or white swimsuit and you’re sure to turn heads.
2. The Quirky Sunnies
Topshop Heart Sunglasses, $ 28
Funky Nasty Gal Sunglasses, $65
Bold Nasty Gal Sunglasses, $65
Don’t underestimate the power of the sunglasses. They are your summer staple, and your ticket to poolside stylin’. When choosing your shades this year, go for something that is quirky yet classic. And most of all, if you don’t feel like Beyoncé the moment you put them on, there’s something wrong.
3. The Straw Sun Hat
Boater Hat, Nasty Gal $30
Asos Floppy Straw Hat $47.64
The sun’s rays can be too much to handle, and for those of us who like to be a bit more dramatic with our style, wearing a hat to this year’s 303 Pool Party is the perfect mix of practicality and glitz. Go for cute with a boater hat or go for an all-natural look with a floppy straw hat. Either way, these hats can do no wrong.
4. The Strappy Shoe
Fun Wedges, Shoe Dazzle $49.95
Asos gold sandal, $22.86
Strappy Sandal, Shoe Dazzle $59.95
The true power behind great style always comes down to shoes. And nothing better says, ‘I’m 303 pool party ready’ than playful, strappy shoes. Whether you prefer wedges, sandals or flats you can bring a cool factor to this pool party with a great shoe.
5. The Unique Wrap
Lace Kimono, Nasty Gal $88
Nasty Gal Romper, $58
H&M Maxi $14.95
For the moments you’re not in the pool, the wrap is your best friend. But you don’t have to go with the traditional wrap; you can funk it up with a Kimono, a romper, or even a maxi. However you choose to wrap it up, this accessory is a must-have when going poolside.
