Find a Swimsuit Cover-up to Suit Your Lifestyle
This summer, a swimsuit cover-up is just as important as the swimsuit you wear, so before you head to the beach or pool find a cover-up style that compliments your suit and your style so you can go from one activity to the next without having to change.
Crocheted Cover-up
A crocheted top or dress of any length creates a luxurious yet lightweight cover-up to throw over your suit. Pair with shorts, skinny jeans or a skirt before you grab your friends for a summer night out.
Sweet Sweatshirt
For a laid back look, grab an oversized sweatshirt or hoodie to pair with a night hanging out with your best buds at a bonfire. You can wear over your suit or with a pair of shorts if that’s more comfortable.
Pretty Pants
Dress up the casual short-and-suit look with a pair of linen or pleated pants (or shorts). For a touch of luxury, add a belt and wear with an outstanding wedge sandal or clogs.

Wearable White
Hit up a concert with a lightweight blouse and a pair of your favorite white pants or midi skirt. Slip on metallic sandals and tie up your hair up in a knot and you’ll be ready for a casual date with your fabulous crush.
Casual Clothes
Grab a movie by throwing on a very casual knit or graphic t-shirt dress.
Sophisticated Shirt
Button-up shirts used as cover-ups are a huge hit this season. So wear your button up instead of going out to purchase a new cover-up for the season. The key is to button only a few buttons, leave the rest open to show off your suit. If you’re more comfortable, wear a pair of shorts and tuck in one tail of your shirt.
Delightful Dress
You can’t go wrong with a fabulous cover-up dress. Wear this over your suit for a dinner date with the family or at a poolside backyard barbecue.
Athletic Approach
If you’re an athlete at heart, there is no need to sway from your typical wardrobe. Rock your fav. pair of joggers on your way too and from swimming laps, paddle board yoga or beach volleyball!
Gola Saturn Sneakers, $135, available at Altar’d State; On The Run Cargo Pants, $64, available at Altar’d State; CALIA Women’s Twisted One Shoulder One Piece Swimsuit, $78, available at Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Miss Match
One of the summer’s biggest fashion trends is the matching set. Don a super causal set to your best friends birthday.
Awesome Overall
Heading to a festival, carnival or fair after a morning poolside? Pull on a pair of overalls or a laidback romper. Enough said.
Make sure your cover-up can take you from a day at the beach directly into dinner and a movie with friends. Create a relaxed summer look that lasts beyond the pool.
