2. Cynthia Rowley Printed Wetsuit ($295)

3. Eugenia Kim Straw Sun Hat ($485)
Eugenia Kim's wide-brimmed sun hats feature playful messages — including "do not disturb" and "here comes the sun" — spelled out in sequins. The "wish you were here" option is great for invoking envy on Instagram. Buy it at Net-a-Porter.
