On a hot beach, staying cool is more important than looking put together — so it’s important to dress in a way that feels, above all else, easy. But these retro-inspired pieces — bikinis, cover-ups, sandals and sunglasses — will help you look good without sacrificing function. Here, a selection of our favorite summer pieces for the last month of the season, along with tips for how to wear them.

1. A Simple Cotton Dress
A lightweight ankle-length dress is a dependable summer staple to keep you cool and protected from the sun. This one, by Lisa Marie Fernandez, in a breathable cotton and with an oversize shape, is perfect for even the hottest days — and can work well into the evening.
2. A Striped Towel
A thin fringed towel, of the kind found at Turkish hammams, not only dries quickly but can also double as a colorful pareu or scarf. If you want something more classic, choose a style with faded pastel or earth-tone stripes.
3. Layered Gold Jewelry
Worn with a simple swimsuit or a white linen button-down, layered necklaces, whether a few slender chains or a cluster of chunky pendants, are an easy way to feel more polished on the beach.
4. A High-Waisted Bikini
A fuller bikini feels classic and romantic, especially in a gingham print — plus, it creates a more sculpted silhouette than lower-cut, modern styles.
5. Simple Wooden Sandals
Introduced in 1968, the Dr. Scholl’s “exercise” sandal, a contoured wooden clog with a single leather strap, is now seeing a resurgence. Several brands offered their own version of the classic shoe this season, including Gucci, which swapped out the plain metal buckle for a ’70s-inspired logo.
6. A Crochet Top
Evocative of hippie-era Ibiza, crochet is a reliable way to inject a little whimsy into your summer wardrobe — without adding much heat.
7. Bright Red Nails
When the heat makes you want to dress as minimally as possible, colorful nails can pull together even the simplest outfit. This vermilion shade from Chanel is a perfectly retro, creamy orange-red.
8. A Classic Woven Bag
Perhaps no accessory conjures summer vacations as readily as a straw basket. While several versions proliferated the runways this season, this Hermès carryall, with a supple leather trim, feels especially versatile: It’s spacious enough to hold a towel and sunscreen but smart enough for the city, too.
9. Cat-Eye Sunglasses
With a vintage shape and a thick frame that keeps them from feeling costumey, these Celine sunglasses are a modern take on a timeless staple — and the white contrasts beautifully with sun-kissed skin.
10. Sturdy Hair Clips
Salty air and sea breezes can wreak havoc on longer hair. A jaw clip pulls flyaway strands off the face without tangling them further, and two clips will secure even the thickest hair.
