Every summer has its little luxuries—the things that make long, sunny afternoons feel just a touch more indulgent. This year, for me, that luxury comes in the form of pool floats from LETO. And let me tell you, I am thoroughly tempted to spend the remainder of the season drifting lazily on water or lounging poolside, book in hand, completely content.
A Pool Float, but Make It Chic
When you think of pool floats, your mind might instantly conjure up images of neon inflatables, giant unicorns, or flamingo-shaped rafts. Fun, yes. Chic? Not exactly. That’s why I was instantly drawn to LETO’s collection—their designs are refreshingly elevated and timeless.
The brand focuses on neutral palettes and sleek stripes, a far cry from the loud, oversized floats of summers past. Think warm ivories, sandy beiges, and classic black-and-white stripes that blend seamlessly with a sophisticated outdoor setting. These floats don’t scream “pool toy.” Instead, they whisper resort living at its finest.
Form Meets Function
Of course, a pool float isn’t just about looks—it has to deliver on comfort and practicality too. Happily, LETO excels in this area.
- Comfortable enough to double as loungers – On days when I don’t feel like getting wet, I’ve been using them poolside as cushioned loungers. They’re that comfortable.
- Lightweight and portable – Shifting them from the water to the deck is effortless, and because they’re not heavy, even the kids can manage.
- Quick to inflate – Anyone who has wrestled with inflatables knows the struggle, but these take almost no time to set up. It makes the idea of spontaneous pool days feel that much easier.
It’s this blend of beauty and usability that makes these floats feel like a must-have rather than just a seasonal novelty.
Adding Style to a Poolside Setting
I’ve always believed that a pool area is an extension of the home, deserving the same attention to detail as an interior space. Just as a neutral rug or a well-placed accent chair can elevate a living room, these floats add an element of design sophistication outdoors.
Their understated aesthetic works with any pool style—from sleek modern edges to Mediterranean tiles or rustic stone settings. Even better, the neutral tones don’t clash with towels, umbrellas, or patio furniture; instead, they tie everything together into a cohesive, serene space.
Our Current Setup
So far, we’ve chosen two floats in the striped design, and they have already become the most used items by the pool. But I’m strongly considering adding another set in ivory to complete the look. Something about the monochromatic pairing of stripes and ivory feels very St. Tropez chic—casual yet utterly polished.
Why They’re Worth It
Yes, you could pick up a bright inflatable at any big-box store, but the difference here is longevity, both in style and in function. LETO floats are designed to last more than just one summer, and their timeless design ensures they won’t feel dated or out of place when trends shift.
They’re an investment in creating an outdoor space that feels inviting, serene, and undeniably stylish. And when something this functional doubles as décor? That’s always a win in my book.
Final Thoughts
It’s funny how something as simple as a pool float can completely transform the way you experience summer. For me, these LETO floats have made afternoons slower, more relaxing, and infinitely more stylish. They’re proof that sometimes it’s the small, thoughtful upgrades that make the biggest difference in how we live and enjoy our spaces.
So yes, if you need me for the rest of the season, you’ll likely find me stretched out on one of these chic loungers, iced tea in hand, soaking up the sun without a care in the world.
