<p>Heading to the beach this weekend? For a successful beach day, we all need the perfect <strong>tote bag</strong> to throw in all of the essentials: a towel, the latest read, and a bottle of sunscreen. But when you’re living in a small apartment with an even smaller closet—or perhaps just too big of a handbag collection?—keeping a clunky beach-only bag on hand all year round doesn’t seem like the best use of space.</p><p><br></p><p>Our solution is a sleek, sophisticated tote bag that looks as good getting off the jitney as it does leaving the office. Don’t believe us? Shop the <a href="https://www.angedanlia.com/product" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>best beach bags</strong></a> and totes for this summer below.</p><p><br></p><p>Yes, You Canvas</p><p>Structured, heavy-duty <a href="https://www.angedanlia.com/fashion-canvas-bag" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>canvas bags</strong></a> are a beach classic. A riff on the classic L.L.Bean tote, these holdalls look as chic navigating the concrete jungle as they do on top of a beach blanket. Their large size can hold your laptop, a few towels, or both at the same time. In elegant shapes with leather detailing, these canvas totes will be your new go-to weekday and weekend companions.</p><p><br></p><p>Day Trippers</p><p>Oversized market totes take the beach bag to the next level. Heading straight from a summer Friday in the city to the surf? Pack everything you need—plus an extra day’s clothes—in one of these plaid carryalls. Muted pastels and monochrome checks are conservative enough to bring to the office while still adding a patterned pop to a modest look, and they can become beachy in an instant when carried alongside a bikini or cover-up. With space to stash everything from your sun hat to your work heels, an oversized tote means you’re always good to go.</p><p><br></p><p>Wovens That Work</p><p><a href="https://www.angedanlia.com/straw-bag" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Woven bags</strong></a> have been cropping up everywhere the past few seasons, but this style certainly has a leg up over its colorful and decorated counterparts. In fact the style is pretty much the opposite: With sophisticated looks and contemporary shapes, these basket bags give your summer vacation an urban edge. Their simplicity and size are perfect for any summer adventure, from beach trip to city break.</p><p><br></p><p>Surf the Net</p><p>Whether you call it the fisherman’s net or the marché bag, netted bags have taken over Instagram feeds as the must-have beach accessory. And while these cheap and simple nets prove cute for toting around fresh fruit, the below iterations are a more elegant take on the netted styles. For starters they’re larger in size, equivalent to a city tote. Plus their polished detailing makes them candidates for both the beach and the street, whether they come with added fringe, wooden beading, or a stylish inner pouch.</p><p><br></p><p>Water Resistant</p><p>Nylon is a no-brainer when it comes to beach-tote material. The water-resistant fabric makes them ready for everything from incoming waves to a quick wash at the laundromat. You won’t have an issue if a little bit of watermelon juice or condensation from your water bottle drips on these totes, plus you can easily shake the sand from their durable nylon interiors. But what sets these apart from your typical cooler-like beach bags is their even cooler look. From summer-ready gingham to stylish top handles and techy drawstrings, these nylon beach bags are perfect for toting your change of clothes to gym classes, picnics in the park—and even your lunch meetings too.</p>
