With spring break at full tilt in South Florida, we have beach days on our mind. One of the best parts about living here is that we can enjoy them anytime of the year, while everyone else has to go home. Whether youre looking for the perfect swimsuit or surfboard, here are some delightful items to have fun in the sun year-round.
LV Surfs Up
Leave it to Louis Vuitton to create its luxury take on the surfboard. The French maison collaborated with Los Angeles artist Alex Israel for a capsule collection inspired by his signature gradient paintings in saturated sunset hues. In addition to the surfboard, the motif appears on a travel case and fragrance case for an exclusive, beachy scent of yuzu and neroli. us.louisvuitton.com
Top Trunks
Commas, an Aussie mens collection for designer swimwear and resort, looked to Homers to Hockneys painterly palettes for its spring collection. The Piscine swim short pictured here shows off the theme beautifully. Each original print is hand-painted or hand-drawn for fabrics sourced from venerable mills in Europe and Japan. Sustainability and slow fashion also lie at the heart of the brands mission. commas.cc
Gotta Have
La Gotta is another eco-chic, designer line. A play on the Spanish term for a drop of water, its name highlights how suits are made in small batches from recycled water bottles and nontoxic raw materials. Fabrics are also UPF 50+. Fans further appreciate its stunning silhouettes and subdued, nature-inspired prints that stand out in the sea of swimwear. lagottaswimwear.com
Cozy & Cute
When stocking up on beach towels, look no further than Hive. The West Palm Beach-based emporium for every lifestyle need under the sun carries an excellent selection. We especially like its towels emblazoned with pool in comfy white cotton terry with matching piping. Load up on Florida-friendly colors like parakeet green, teal, shocking pink, marine blue, melon and sands. hivepalmbeach.com

Try its new Full Spectrum 360 Refreshing Water Cream Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 50. The plant-based blend of coconut water, hyaluronic acid and SFP 50 hydrates and protects skin.

Sweet Sarongs
With shops in Palm Beach, Boca Raton and Southampton, Michelle Farmer Collaborate knows something about seaside attire. Its perfect pareos take one throughout the entire day from the sand to snacks and sips at the neighborhood bistro. They come in various fabrics and prints such as the reversible Capurgana in 100% linen and the De La Falaise in a cotton silk blend. michellefarmer.com
