Between stocking up on sunscreen, replacing the sunglasses that may or may not have taken a tumble off the back of a sailboat last year, and so on, you might find yourself a little less prepared for summer than you hoped. Whether you’re preparing for a beach trip, or simply gearing up for rooftop and backyard parties, Urban Outfitters has you covered.
From trendier offerings like brightly colored sunglasses to grab-and-go essentials like sunscreen, here are our top eight picks for what you should be toting around from Urban Outfitters this summer. Currently, there are regular summer sales at Urban Outfitters as well, so you might find markdowns on the items we’ve listed.

Stay cool this summer in a slip dress.
The Mallory cowl neck dress is a pretty popular Urban Outfitters mainstay, but it’s especially perfect for breezing through the summer months, with thin straps and satin-finish fabric. The dress comes in six different colors, with different colors and patterns available across seasons, and sizes ranging from XXS to XXXL.
2. A sample pack of Goop sunscreen
Soak up the sun (but not the sun damage).
Fun in the sun should include SPF, as a rule. The SPF Bestsellers kit from Goop comes with three different SPF products, including the Play SPF lotion (made with sunflower extract), the 40 SPF Glow sunscreen, and the 40 SPF Unseen sunscreen. Each product is vegan and cruelty free—if you’ve been looking to try out Goop’s products, the set is a solid price for the variety you get.
3. A Baggu puffy cooler

For your poolside playlist.
If you’ve spent most of spring carefully curating your summer playlist, you might want to invest in a JBL Clip 4 for the season. The shower-, pool-, and beach-ready speaker comes in beachy colors and is, according to our reviewer, one of the best Bluetooth speakers for its size and price point.
5. Pastel slides for the beach

With a pair of slide sandals, the trek to the beach or the park may have just gotten a little bit easier (and cuter).
