Outer Banks Beach Style Guide: Laguna Beach Textile & Bigalli
The Outer Banks of North Carolina is one of the East Coast's most beloved beach destinations — a 200-mile string of barrier islands with wild Atlantic beaches, charming beach towns like Duck and Corolla, and a laid-back coastal elegance that rewards a well-curated beach wardrobe. Here's your complete Outer Banks beach style guide.
The Beach Essential: Laguna Beach Textile Company Flamingo Positano Turkish Towel
The Outer Banks' wide, wild Atlantic beaches deserve a towel as beautiful as the scenery. The Laguna Beach Textile Company Flamingo Positano Turkish Towel is a stunning white Turkish towel with soft pink flamingo stripes — lightweight, quick-drying, and oversized enough for a full day on the sand at Cape Hatteras or Nags Head. The kind of towel that photographs beautifully and dries in the OBX breeze in minutes.
The Sun Protection: Bigalli Santorini Panama Hat
The Outer Banks sun is intense — and the Bigalli Santorini Panama Hat is a stylish way to add shade. Its beige straw and classic blue band pair easily with coastal colors and the soft pink stripes of the Turkish towel. Lightweight and wide-brimmed, it's ready for long OBX beach days.
Outer Banks Beach Style Tips
- Plan for sun exposure — the OBX's wide, exposed beaches offer little shade; bring sun-protective clothing for long beach days.
- Pack a Turkish towel — lightweight and quick-drying, a Turkish towel is handy for breezy beach conditions.
- Bring a wide-brimmed hat — add shade to your beach-day outfit with a Panama hat.
- Coordinate your palette — the towel's pink stripes and the hat's beige and blue tones make an easy coastal combination.
- Dress for the beach town vibe — the OBX has a relaxed, unpretentious coastal style; choose comfortable layers that work from beach to boardwalk.
