What to Pack for Your Hottest Summer Yet

It’s 2025, and the beach isn’t just a destination — it’s a full-on main character moment. Whether you’re catching golden hour content or just catching a tan, your beach bag deserves just as much attention as your bikini.

So before you head out for that sun-drenched day, let’s make sure you’ve packed the essentials (and a few extras for ✨vibes✨).


👙 1. The Power Suit

Start with a bikini or one-piece that makes you feel like the goddess you are. Moxy Swim's Coastal Crush and Main Character One-Piece are made to move, sculpt, and slay — with signature colors that pop against every skin tone.

Style tip: Mix & match top and bottom sizes for the perfect fit.


🧴 2. SPF, Always

Sun protection isn’t optional — it’s iconic. Look for broad-spectrum, reef-safe formulas that won’t clog pores or mess with your glow.

2025 favorite: Glow screen with shimmer ✨. Beachy and dewy? Yes please.


🕶️ 3. Oversized Sunnies

The bigger the frame, the closer to fashion week. A pair of dramatic sunglasses isn’t just UV protection — it’s attitude in accessory form.

📸 Bonus: They elevate every candid for your IG photo dump.


💦 4. Hydration Game Strong

You’re not about to get dehydrated mid-poolside scroll. Bring your favorite reusable bottle filled with water, coconut water, or your go-to electrolyte mix.

Pro tip: Freeze it the night before so it’s still cool by the time you lay out your towel.


💄 5. Lip Balm (with SPF!)

Because burnt lips are never the move. Keep your pout protected, moisturized, and photo-ready.


📸 6. Something for the Feed

Whether it’s a disposable camera, a mini tripod, or your phone with a playlist queued up, make space for something that helps you capture the day — even if you’re “off the grid.”

🎶 Mood soundtrack: Think ice coffee, breezy beats, and soft serotonin.


🧣 7. The Secret Hero: A Sarong or Oversized Button-Up

Wear it as a cover-up, use it as a towel, turn it into a headscarf — versatile pieces are the unsung heroes of every beach-day outfit.


🧼 8. Travel-size Everything

From wet wipes to leave-in conditioner to after-sun aloe mist — you never know when you’ll need it, but when you do? You're the most prepared one there.


👜 Final Touch: The Bag Itself

Go for a lightweight, water-resistant tote with room for everything and a little extra. You never know what you’ll end up bringing home from a beachside market.


💬 TL;DR

A perfect beach day starts with a perfectly packed bag. Swimsuit on point. SPF layered. Sunnies oversized. Vibes high. Your 2025 beach bag? She’s not just ready — she’s iconic.

☀️ Moxy Swim. Made to move. Designed to slay.
