Beachware

What: Beachwear from Float

Why: So you found that perfect ... or nearly-perfect bathing suit. Congratulations! The hard part is over. Now tell us, what are you wearing over the suit? Your husband’s over-sized T-shirt? A who-knows-how-old terry romper?

If it’s time to upgrade your beach look...more, check out the pretty and practical designs from Float. I like the bold Napali print on the Castaway Hooded Cover-Up. It’s pretty enough to go from the sand or the pool, to the boardwalk for shopping or lunch. The material is soft and light, and the flattering style has elastic at the thigh and not at the waist. There are other styles that offer more coverage for cooler beach days, and all have the signature silver Float charm.

You can really pull your beach style together with the extra large beach tote. There’s room for all your beach gear, and it’s hand washable.

Price: $44 to $130
