Cute Swimsuit Coverups That Are Not Frumpy
I used to think swim coverups were either a flowy tent situation or a giant t-shirt. For a long time I just skipped them altogether and walked from the pool to wherever I was going in my wet swimsuit like an animal. Then I found coverups that are actually cute and now I cannot stop buying them.
Heads up, some of these are affiliate links, which just means I get a tiny commission at no cost to you.
The Sheer Sarong Situation
A lightweight sarong-style coverup is the easiest thing to throw on and it actually moves beautifully. You can wrap it a dozen different ways and it packs into nothing. The sarong swim coverups on Amazon come in so many gorgeous prints and are usually under twenty-five dollars.
The Linen Button-Down
A loose linen button-down worn open over your swimsuit might be the most versatile coverup option out there. You can wear it to the beach, to lunch right after, as a layer over a dress later. The linen button-down shirts on Amazon are great for this and honestly work year-round for layering.
The Mini Dress Coverup
If you want something that truly crosses over from beach to errands, look for a mini dress coverup rather than something that is obviously swim-adjacent. A simple knit or crochet mini that you can style with sandals and a bag works really well. The crochet mini dress coverups are having a huge moment right now.
A Matching Set
Matching shorts and a top in a coordinating print or color to your swimsuit looks so intentional and put together. It is the kind of thing that makes people ask if you got dressed up for the pool. The matching swim cover-up sets on Amazon are actually really well done right now.
The Beach Bag That Pulls It All Together
Do not underestimate what a good bag does for a beach look. A woven tote or a straw bag instantly elevates everything. The straw beach bags on Amazon are adorable and most are under thirty dollars.
What is your go-to beach look? Drop it in the comments, I am always looking for more inspiration.
