"Navy is my staple for any holiday or traveling. Whether having drinks in St. Tropez or surfing in Cornwall—these work for me."

"[I bring] lots of them in different colors. They roll small so you can have a fresh one for the beach, lunch and then meeting friends afterwards."

"Hermes towels are fabulous. Not too heavy, the perfect size and colors, and I love the detailing."

"High protection sunscreen is the only way to go."

"My iPad ticks most of those but I always also travel with Travel Scrabble and a pack of cards."

"Timeless, classic, simple—and deeply chic."

"No day on the beach is complete without lots of things to eat and drink. My ideal poolside snack is a plate of calamari fritti accompanied by a cool glass of rose."
