Tropical getaway essentials
Frolic in sun, surf and sand safely and stylishly
Lick your lips Guard your lips from free radicals and broad-spectrum UVA and UVB rays with Doctor T’s Supergoop SPF30+ Fusion Lip Balm. Packed with powerful antioxidants, cell-renewing vitamins and rich shea butter, it offers protection from smoke, smog and sun exposure. Try both tasty flavours – hydrating acai and breath-freshening mint. $8.50 (U.S.); supergoop.com
Trunk show Ride the waves in Katin + Apolis striped swim trunks. Made in California from 100 per cent cotton chambray, the fully lined trunks are softer than typical poly-blend swimwear, so you can feel comfortable wearing them from surfboard to sidewalk café. A slide flap pocket comes with a string that keeps keys secure. $128 (U.S.); apolisglobal.com
Limited editions Young British artist and Turner Prize nominee Tracey Emin has left her indelible mark on a special edition beach towel. Inspired by a stray dog that she encountered on a Cypriot beach, Emin’s simple black-on-white handwritten verse takes a basic beach accessory from drab to distinctive. (If you prefer something more colourful, try artist Jasper John’s vivid design.) $95 (U.S.); standardhotels.myshopify.com
