Every year, I grab my suitcase from the attic and stare at its empty innards. The excitement flushes over me as I realize that it’s finally time to go on vacation, but then there’s the anxiety. While I want to say I’m a bit of a pro at packing, when it comes to summer holidays, it’s taken me years of honing down the essentials to reduce the stress.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I still have to talk myself out of packing multiples of things I definitely don’t need, but I’m happy to report I’ve finally streamlined my baggage. And that’s where this list comes in. For this summer, I’ve narrowed down a list of 12 beachwear essentials I think are well worth packing. Plus, they all come in at under $50!
