When soaking up the sun on the beach or by the pool, ensure your impeccably styled swimwear is suitably displayed with a plush beach towel as a backdrop. Headed to a beach party? Pick up one of these striking colour-blocked towels by luxury Italian brand Frette; they are ultra-soft, super-absorbent and will last long after your tan has faded.

Scorching weather provides the perfect excuse to get together with friends over alfresco BBQs. But before you get your fork, turner and tongs out, you might want to consider investing in a new grill set. We love RS Barcelona’s modern reinterpretation of the classic BBQ.

What’s a summer soiree without a bit of music? B&O’s sleek headphones are slim enough to slip in your beach bag and leave room for Jawbone’s lightweight wireless speakers. Choose from a range of vivid shades that add a colour pop to a lazy summer’s day at the beach.
