As unappealing as it is to leave the water on a hot and beautiful day, when you have to, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea to go strutting around in their swimsuit (especially if you are leaving the pool/water to go eat or something). So to make the transition more effortless from water to land, these 10 Cute Beach Coverups are easy to slip on, adorably chic, and will keep you feeling cool in the summer heat.
Surfs Up Boardshorts | ROXY
If you only need to hop out of the water for a quick second, boardshorts are a great piece to just throw on your bottom half and go. It’s especially wonderful if you just want to cover up a little bit. As a bonus, the swimsuit-like material also offers you the option to easily jump back in without having to remove anything.
Other cute options: Xhilaration Juniors Swim Board Short and Nike Tempo Boardshort
Tropicali Hooded Poncho | ROXY
As a one-piece, it doesn’t get more easy than this. Those that enjoy something with a touch of sportiness will enjoy this.
Romper Cover-up | Victoria’s Secret
As a summer staple, the romper is back again and it’ll be hard to look anything but chic in this cover-up from Victoria’s Secret. The ruffle detail brings in a very feminine style and in white, it’ll show off your great tan.
Tie-Waist Cover-up Dress | Victoria’s Secret
For those that want to convey something more laid-back, I love how relaxed the shape of this dress is. Plus the aqua color looks absolutely divine and so mermaid-like!
Other VS options that were also super cute: Embellished Cover-up Sweater, Model Tie-Waist Dress, Lace Hooded Cover-up
Ruffle Romper | Gap
As the perfect combination of comfort and fun, the romper works so well to have you ready for your next adventure after cooling off in the water. Super cute and so girly!
Beach Kaftan | Free People
Kaftans are a growing trend this summer as a super awesome cover-up. I love the roomy and slightly oversized shape, which will definitely hide any yummy junk food you’re going to indulge in.
STS Blue Paint Party Tube Dress | Zumiez
I love the fun print on this tube dress, it’s so much more interesting to look at than a solid. Plus, it even has the ever-so-necessary pockets for your small essentials (phone, keys, etc.).
Sheer High-Low Top | GoJane
For those of you that want something a bit more trendy, this top incorporates the big neon trend going around with the high-low cut that is sweeping the stores. A stylish piece for all you that don’t mind being the center of attention.
Sundress With Knot Back Detail | ASOS
With dresses being a no-brainer to slip on, this sundress fits the bill with its clean design. Though my favorite part is the back detail with the knot that brings a bit of intrigue.
River Island Pink Cut Out Front Floral Print Playsuit | ASOS
Have some peekaboo fun with this floral print playsuit that features a subtly sexy cut out detail. Though no worries, it’s pretty PG. Offering in a whimsical pink, I love the tropical mood that you get from it. Plus all the small details (plunging neckline, contrast trim, front tie, etc.), it all just works for one fashionably cute piece.
Other options: Burn Out Beach Playsuit, River Island Blue Peter Pan V Neck Playsuit, and One Shoulder Textured Beach Playsuit
So there you have it - hopefully you found a cover-up that you love to rock the next time you’re at the beach or pool. The no-hassle beauty of a cover-up is that you can just slip it on and go - which makes for one of my favorite summer pieces. Have fun and stay cute!
