The 4 Best Swimsuit Cover-Ups for Summer

Now that summer is in full swing, are you heading to the beach, lake, or pool anytime soon? I’m sharing the five best swimsuit cover-ups for a chic, modest look without changing out of your one-piece or bikini. No matter your plans, I’ve got you covered (literally).

This button-down shirt is super versatile — throw it over a swimsuit or layer it over a bralette and pair it with shorts for a casual everyday look. I love the lightweight fabric and oversized fit yet thinness to tie easily for a shorter, more fitted look.

My favorite cover-up dress is a splurge, but it’s so flattering! With a drawstring waist and surplice neckline, it offers full coverage while still looking stylish. I ordered my typical size S but probably could’ve sized down to an XS.

These high-rise crochet-style cover-up pants feature a pull-on style with a comfy elastic waistband. I’m almost 5’4″ with a longer torso and shorter legs, and I ordered the regular length (limited sizes in stock at the time) but will probably order again in the short length.

I bought this cute two-piece Free People sweater set last year. Unfortunately, they didn’t bring it or something similar back this year, although perhaps Amazon may have something similar. It’s perfect for throwing over a bikini.

These are the best swimsuit cover-ups in my closet, and I hope you find one worth adding to yours this season. You can also shop for more of my looks by following me on LTK. As always, thanks for reading! xo

    I love the crochet pants! I tend to wear swimsuits rather than bikinis – these could work for the transfer from the beach to dinner! And they’re not terribly expensive either!
