Best Beach Accessory Winner

Electric Picks Tara Earrings

swBESTOF23

About: These dainty earrings were inspired by popular rope chain necklaces in the 80’s and 90’s. Their chic elegance has the ability to elevate any outfit.

Why It Won: Not many earrings are versatile enough to complement both a bikini and cocktail dress, but the Electric Picks Tara Earrings are. These gold droop earrings are the perfect beach-to-dinner accessory. The best part about the earrings is they do not tarnish in water, making them the perfect staple for summer.

What We Love About It: “These are the perfect everyday earrings. They are simple enough to be left in day-to-day, as they pair well with any outfit, but are also more exciting than a plain gold hoop. I love the chain detail.” —Elizabeth Wentworth, SI Swimsuit associate fashion editor

Best Beach Chair

Sunflow Beach Bundle

Why It Won: With its thoughtful design, this innovative lounge chair has everything a beachgoer could possibly need. The beach bundle comes in a variety of vibrant colors that are guaranteed to brighten your day.

What We Love About It: “This beach chair is a game-changer. Lightweight, durable, and easy-to-use. I always receive compliments when lounging in my Sunflow.” —Sarah Hermus, SI Swimsuit social media and community coordinator
