Did you know that just by staring at the ocean puts you into a mild meditative state?
So it's not surprising that more and more people have been flocking to the beaches not really to swim, but simply to take a breather...and pictures!
And with social media playing a role in every beach trip, the planning must include your wardrobe, aka OOTDs.
Thanks to the feeds of these sun-kissed celebrities, your next dose of Vitamin Sea will be stylish like no other.
Here are five fashion essentials that can instantly give you more confidence (because not everyone feels comfortable in just swimsuits), and totally add pizzazz to your swimwear.
Hat
This not just for porma purposes, but for your skin's protection as well.
See how it can add character to your swimsuit selfies...
Sam Pinto, a beach resort owner-surfer, previously said, "It keeps my sunburn worries at bay."
Bag
Give your leather bags a break, and let the woven pieces be the cool prop in your posts.
They can also withstand heat, and can tolerate water.
Beach cover-ups
The ideal scenario is you should be having fun under the sun, and stop being conscious about your bod and bulges.
Let wraps and cover-ups solve this concern.
They make a pretty sunbathing and picture-taking accessory, too.
Hair accessory
Don't be a "mahangin ba sa labas" victim.
To look fresh all day, even if it's a humid day, tidy up...
...or wear a headband.
Sunglasses
Wearing shades is just as important as applying a sunscreen, so you make sure you invest in a pair with UV-filter lenses.
