You've probably already found the perfect swimsuit. But there's one important detail that you may have overlooked: And that's your beach towel. Of course, you can use just about anything to cover up the hot sand. But if you're hoping to score all the likes on Instagram, you'll need a chic option that won't take away from your beach-side photos.

You can think of the towel as a backdrop for all of your posts. A pretty design will make the perfect accessory not only for your swimsuit, but it will also look great as you snap pictures of your summer reading, picnic baskets, and cans of rosé.

Not sure where to even find a fashionable towel? Well, no need to worry. We've gathered our favorites below to help jumpstart your search.
