Pair this style with a skirt or flowy pant and you have a great looking outfit, consider the suit as a body suit.

Stylish Cover Ups To Complete Your Look

The right cover up transforms swimwear into a complete outfit. Whether you’re heading from the beach to lunch or walking through a resort, stylish cover ups add polish and versatility to your swim wardrobe.

Boyfriend Shirts

A boyfriend shirt cover up is a must have. They are versatile, effortless, lightweight and timeless. Bev has the Tommy Bahama version- it’s perfect and so lightweight that it dries quickly. The J Crew version is also highly rated. Click on any photo below for more information.

Wide Leg Pants

Flowy wide leg pants look great when paired with one piece bathing suits. They provide additional coverage and a sophisticated look while keeping you cool. White linen pants are a vacation staple, doubling as a beach cover up and or an outfit base. Bev just bought a new pair from Athleta. We selected the matching pair of pants for the La Blanca blue and white suit. Click on any photo below for more information.

Cover Up Skirts

A cover up skirt is perfect for women who want lightweight coverage while still feeling feminine and comfortable.

Sarong-inspired scarves, wrap skirts and smocked waist maxi skirts are especially flattering because they adjust easily and work with many swimsuit silhouettes. Click on the choices below for more information.

Tunic & Sun Dresses Cover Ups

A tunic or sun dress remain one of the easiest and most comfortable options for warm-weather dressing.

Look for lightweight fabrics and neutral or coastal colors for a timeless look. Click on any photo below for more information.
