16 Stylish Coolers To Take To The Beach
Warmer months bring days out, trips to the seaside or perhaps your local lido, so obviously you’ll need everything for a picnic, too. However, if you’re anything like us, the idea of hauling a huge cool box is not ok. Nope, we want something a little more subtle and a lot more cool… in more ways than one.
Granted, if you’re camping or on the hardcore festival circuit the original big box coolers are the best. Having said that, pretty picnics on the beach look so much prettier with a bag or basket that offers a touch of style and practicality. So we hunted down a few of our favourite totes that warrant not just a spot on the IG grid, but also promise to keep your rosé perfectly chilled while we dip our toes in the sea.
In terms of outdoor living, one of the most talked about brands of the moment has got to be Business & Pleasure Co. If you haven’t checked them out, do it now. From retro parasols to Italian-inspired sun loungers, they have it all including the most fabulous cool bags. They are chic, quirky, unique and… can you tell we love them?! They come in numerous styles and sizes, so no doubt you’ll find one to suit your day out.
Launched in 2016, Business & Pleasure Co. has succeeded in creating an outdoor lifestyle brand that celebrates nostalgia and a mix of ’50s and ’70s glamour. Their cool bags are highly sought after for their practicality and impeccable style. No surprises, they’re a must if you want to up your beach day chic.
Australians know about the great outdoors, so it’s no big revelation that most of the brands reinventing our outside style are – you guessed it – Australian. SunnyLife was born on the beaches of Sydney and is now globally recognised for its bold graphics and rainbows shades, especially on all its coolers. The Box Sounds beach cooler with built-in speakers is guaranteed to keep the party going. Similarly, The Somewhere Co., founded in Brisbane, is all about injecting fun and colour into adventure essentials. So get outside, book those trips and throw in a few chilled beers for us…
