3 Beach Coverup Styles and How to Wear Them

My go to beachwear cover up has always been a creative re-imagining of clothing that I already own. Anything from dresses that are way past their prime to shorts or skirts that are too short for my “real-life”. I’ve even re-purposed a light linen blazer that was too old and rumpled to wear to work.

This year you have so many more options as the fashion industry has actually come up with some flattering and on-trend pieces. The perfect cover-up needs to be versatile enough for the pool or beach and still be appropriate for any post-beach adventures without requiring a change of clothes. Pool-side drinks, a stop off for dinner or even a firepit on the beach is often the best part of an amazing day.

From short to long, stripes to solids, bright colors to subtle tones, there are an endless amount of coverup options to enjoy this summer. Check out our favorites below, and don’t worry, we included some “real clothes” options too!

Long Cover Ups

Long cover ups, such as these dresses, pants and skirts shown above, provide the ultimate level of sun protection. Add a belt to the looser options for a cleaner look – anything from woven leather to a rope belt will work. Struggling to decide which one you like best due to the endless amount of options? Take your favorite dress style and find a similar style as a coverup!

Short Cover ups

Tunics, caftans, and oversized shirts in  light fabrics like linen and chambray make for perfect pieces for relaxing by the pool in style! If you want to incorporate more fun, swap your flip flops for a wedge espadrille for a bit more glamor without having to change outfits.

Jumpsuit Coverups

If dresses aren’t your preference, romper and jumpsuit coverups are an excellent option. Whether you choose full-length or mid-length, these cover ups easily transition to whatever you have next!
