Got your sunblock? Check. Your bathing suit? Check. Beach towels? Check. The only thing missing is your cover-up. Don’t know how to wear them? We’ll show you!
- Light and comfortable. It’s hot outside so be sure to pick a cover-up that is loose and airy to keep cool under the sun.
- Tribal prints. The tribal craze is back this summer and looks marvelous over your beachwear.
- Sheer or crochet. Be confident and show off that figure! Sheer and crocheted cover-ups are beautiful and easy to slip on by the water.
- Dresses and tunics. Not comfortable in a sheer cover-up? No worries because you can always wear a loose-fitting dress or tunic over your swimsuit.
- A little extra. Pair some long jeweled earrings and big bold necklaces to embellish your cover-up!
- Final touch. Add a cute sun hat and some sweet shades not only to protect your face from harmful rays, but to give you a chic look! See our Fun in the Sun blog for sunglasses trends.
- Tip. Although Mara Hoffman’s or Diane von Fürstenberg’s cover-ups look amazing, know that you can find some at lower prices. Forever 21 and H&M offer a selection of cover-ups and are much more affordable. Online stores such as Venus and Victoria’s Secret have great prices as well. Check them out!
