Top 6 Favorite Swim Coverups
#1 | Maxi Length Crochet
Sleek and classy, I love the look of a maxi length crochet cover-up! Crochet details can be really pretty and the maxi length makes you look and feel sophisticted!
#2 | Romper Cover-Up
Feel flirty with a cool romper cover-up. It will give your outfit a touch of femininity, without making you feel like you’re getting too dressed up. You can throw on some sandals and a hat and be ready to go!
#3 | Bohemian Inspired Cover Up
This style is super pretty and has such a relaxed comfy fit. Choose one with a vintage pattern to really make a statement. Or keep it understated with a more versatile color!
#4 | Lace Crochet Open Front
This beautiful white coverup by Elan is perfect for the beach or pool. The crochet paneling is just lovely… and the tie front makes it convenient to slip on and off. It’s sold out in white but I linked the black and some other similar options. See more photos and find more favorite coverups here.
#5 | Cotton Dress Cover Up
This cover-up is perfect if you’re wanting to dress up a little bit or plan to head straight from the beach/pool to lunch!
#6 | Wrap Skirt
Match your bathing suit top with a cute summery wrap skirt. Make a statement by choosing a loud, fun, and colorful pattern…but be careful about wearing prints on your bottom half as it can make you look larger than you are.
#7 | Printed Cover Up
A printed cover-up can make a beautiful statement on the beach. It’s perfect for vacation!
#8 | Henley Cover Up
Go casual-but-cute with a henley inspired beach cover-up. You can leave it open, button it, or tie it up.
#9 | Bold Kimono
Similar to the printed cover-up, you can go with a bold, colorful kimono!
#10 | T-Shirt Dress Beach Cover Up
I love a t-shirt dress no matter where I’m going! Throwing on a t-shirt dress and heading to lunch and then the pool is super easy and chic!
#11 | Sleeveless Maxi Cover Up
Maxi dresses are super chic and sophisticated cover-up option no matter what kind, style, or sleeve length!
#12 | Kimono Cover Up
I love this deep, plunging V neckline kimono with intricate crochet detailing! Kimono style cover-ups are my favorite because they’re easy to take on and off! Convenience is key!
#13 | Palm Print Cover Up
I’m a big fan of the bold summery palm print! You may remember my post about a new favorite palm print dress I got. I love the print as long as it’s subtle and chic.
#14 | Linen Wrap Cover Up
Linen is a great fabric for summer because it’ll keep you very cool and it dries quickly (perfect by the water)! Pair that fabric with a wrap style cover-up and you have a super chic and feminine piece. Plus, anything wrap style helps hide a tummy! For swimsuits that help hide your tummy, check out this post.
#15 | Knit Cover Up
Depending on how hot it is where you are, a knit cover-up would be great! This coverup is very popular on Amazon and I love that it’s knit, long sleeve, and has a slit up the leg. You can also adjust the waist. This is a very chic option!
#16 | Wrap Skirt
Wearing a beautiful flowy maxi skirt cover-up is a gorgeous way to make a statement!
#17 | Pareo
I featured a gorgeous pareo coverup in my video with coverups for women over 40. It’s basically a sarong, which wraps around your hips and legs…which is perfect because, for many of us, that’s what we want to cover!
#18 | Cut Out Maxi Dress
A cut out maxi dress can be really sexy! This is something I’d wear from the beach/pool straight to lunch! Just throw on sandals and a hat and you’re good to go!
#19 | Billowing Caftan Cover Up
I love a billowy dress on the beach! It makes me feel so stylish when it’s flowing in the wind! Plus, it’s comfortable and keeps you covered up!
#20 | Open Front Kimono
An open front kimono gives you the ease of taking it on and off quickly! And it’s super chic!
