You might think the worst part of any trip is the packing....and TBH, you're not wrong. The only thing more stressful might just be realizing you forgot to buy something mid-throwing everything into a suitcase—and that's where Amazon comes in. Whatever your beach style calls for, we found 25 reasons to start your shop at the retailer. Think of these fresh additions as ways to mix up your existing summer wardrobe, rather than needing to shell out for a whole new closet. Try a pair of minimalist shades to upgrade every outfit, a printed sarong to spice up that go-to swimsuit you've relied on for years, or a crochet skirt you can wear with anything from a sporty bralette to a poplin button-down.

From kitschy-chic accessories to comfy sandals (and yes, plenty of bikinis and one-pieces for all), here's what's on our beach vacation wishlist:

Embroidered Bucket Hat

The bucket hat trend just got a fruity revamp for summer. Madewell's cotton canvas pick is a must for stylish sun protection (but don't forget the SPF).

Marilyn Bikini Top

For a fuller coverage bikini that doesn't look frumpy, we love Onia's sunny yellow tie top. The straps are adjustable, and the ruffle detailing at the neckline is super sweet.
