First, there&#8217;s the shape: too short for some, too skinny for others. And then, there&#8217;s the issue of sand literally clinging to terrycloth, only to fall off when you don&#8217;t want it to (like in your car).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve seen beach towel innovations in the past, like the rollable beach mat \u2014 which isn&#8217;t comfy \u2014 and the beach blanket \u2014 which adds space, but add another person and you&#8217;re back to square (er, rectangle) one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New shape, new style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/australian-fake-bags\/\">Australians<\/a>, of course, because Australians always do beach better.

At the intersection of perfect size and shape, the roundie is just as it sounds: a circle option that affords you the personal space you want and the standout beach style you crave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roundies everywhere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now a certified staple under the &#8216;wanderlust&#8217; hashtag, you could find an endless scroll of round towels by all of the big name beach and surf brands, as well as tons of small, independent shops and labels. And if the original roundie (priced at a cool $110 and up) is out of your price range, these alternatives let you in on the trend, while leaving some cash leftover for an acai bowl or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/how-to-wear-plus-size-bikini\/\">new bikini<\/a>.
