The perfect outfit
Soak up some vitamin D and look good while doing it! Find all your pool day outfit pieces by shopping secondhand. From the swimsuit to accessories, pair your fresh tan with these thrift store finds.
Swimsuit
From one-piece to two-piece swimsuits, find something that you feel the most comfortable in! When shopping for the perfect swimsuit, find something that makes you feel your best and fits you the best. Be on the lookout for comfortable and stylish pieces to rock all summer long.
Sunglasses
Soaking up the sun is great, but don’t damage your eyes in the process. Find a pair of sunnies that not only protect your eyes but that you feel stylish and chic in! Go for a round or oversized shape with a high UV protection if you want the most protection out of your sunglasses.
Pool shoes
Don’t break out your best most fabulous shoes for the pool, the chances they will get stepped on, get covered in sunscreen or be damaged from the sun is pretty likely. A comfortable pair of flip flops or slides will do the trick and finding them secondhand is even better! Stock up on a variety of pairs and keep them in your pool bag, car and at home so you always have a pair on hand.
Tote bag

Towels
Bringing a towel to a pool or beach day is essential! Get enough towels to stock the house and the car if you find yourself sporadically going to the pool this summer!

A pool float or raft is a relaxing change-up if a lounge chair isn’t your vibe. For the young ones, pool toys are a good way source of entertainment!
