There’s nothing better than slow summer days in Italy, and Italian beach style is all part of the experience. For three glorious months, Italians head to the coast to spend entire days stretched out on a lettino, swimming in the shimmering Mediterranean, enjoying spaghetti alle vongole, stopping for a gelato in the afternoon and ending the day with a chilled glass of wine as the sun begins to set. We call it the lettino lifestyle, and once you’ve experienced it, you’ll never look back.
Dressing for the beach is one of our favorite parts of the season, full of colorful prints, breezy fabrics and fun accessories — from artisanal sunglasses and handcrafted leather sandals to woven totes and playful jewelry. We’ve rounded up the Italian brands we love to help you pack for your next beach vacation.
