We Got You Covered: Alternative Swimsuit Coverup Options

Whether you're at the beach or the pool and you want to cover up, try some unexpected pieces to wear.

By ESSENCE Fashion Editors · Updated June 2, 2023

When heading to the beach, it’s essential to pack not only your swimsuit but also a stylish cover-up that will keep you looking chic and feeling comfortable. A beach cover-up serves the dual purpose of protecting your skin from the sun and providing a fashionable layer for those moments when you want a bit more coverage. Remember, whatever cover-up you choose, prioritize comfort, breathability, and sun protection. Pair it with a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and your favorite sandals to complete your beach-ready look.

The beach or the pool is the place to be this summer, and you’ll want to be comfortable more than anything. Try a sarong, button-down, or crotchet pants to cover up on your trip to relaxation. A button-down can be worn unbuttoned over your swimsuit or tied at the waist for a more fitted look. Choose a light, breathable fabric like linen or cotton for ultimate comfort. You can opt for linen shorts or jorts on a windy day, and it’ll still be a look to serve.

Take a look below at some pieces to add to your cart before your next big trip to the beach.
