#1 | White Crochet Coverup

This beautiful white coverup by Elan is so elegant and beautiful. You’ll feel super glam by the beach or pool! The crochet paneling is such a lovely detail… and the tie front makes it easy and fast to slip on and off. It also comes in black and a beautiful lilac color. For those that like to be sun safe, this cover-up keeps your legs, and arms mostly covered, which is great.

#2 | Black Coverup Dress

This super cute cover-up is a shorter option. It has edgy strappy details on the open back that make it unique and special. And…the best part…? Pockets! Use those for your keys, some cash or a lip gloss.  You could wear this from the beach to lunch and look chic and still feel covered up!

#3 | Black Coverup Maxi

Definitely winning my mental, “Most Chic” award…is this maxi dress, cover-up. It might be my all-time favorite! I love it so much I have it in two colors! It runs long, so if you are tall, it’ll be great. If you are petite like me, you can always wash in cold and DRY it.  It will shrink slightly in the dryer. If you want to keep the length, simply lay it flat to dry.

#4 | Black Deep V Coverup

This coverup is the perfect mix of sexy sophistication! I love the gathering on the sleeves and the sexy slits in the skirt which shows your legs as you walk and move. The waist has a drawstring so you can adjust it to fit how you’d like. And the deep v neckline will show off your chest and swimsuit underneath (loving the bandeau bikini under this). It also comes in a pretty mauve color.

#5 | Cover-Up Pants

The last option I wanted to highlight is cover-up pants! These are great when you just want to show off your swimsuit a bit more, or maybe you don’t like the way your cover-up mixes with your swimsuit. That happens to me all the time. Some quick-dry pants will keep you covered and secure… but are also VERY chic and glam, don’t you think?? This exact pair is no longer available, but here is a link to a similar pair by Elan.

Whenever I’m shopping for coverups, swimsuits, or accessories, Nordstrom is my FIRST stop. They DO have a Vacation Shop that’s full of great pieces if you are planning on a road trip!
