Summer’s finally here and, with it, so is a seemly endless parade adorable pool floats. One of the best trends of summer 2017 is these fun, photogenic floats that are everywhere you look on the internet. Thanks to the success of last year’s ever-present giant swan float, pool float makers across the globe have diversified their wares and we now have a lot more choices.
Wondering which new pool floats are best for Instagram? Or do you just want to add some more fun to your normal pool routine? We’ve rounded up the best of summer’s cute floats below! (Post contains affiliate links.)
