The Best Swimsuit Cover-Ups You Need This Season
Stay cute and comfy on the beach this summer season with the best swimsuit cover-ups.
It's that time of year when you whip out last season's swimsuits and purchase some new ones to head to the beach and get some Instagram content with the latest bikini styles. With longer days on the beach in mind, it's essential to buy a cover-up or two. Cover-ups may not come to mind at first, but it's a must-have.
Swimsuit cover-ups provide a stylish and convenient way to transition from the beach to other activities. Whether you're grabbing lunch at a seaside café, strolling through a beachside market, or heading to the beach or pool bar, a cover-up allows you to move seamlessly from tanning by the beach to socializing without needing a full outfit change. They offer just the right amount of coverage, ensuring you're appropriately dressed for more public settings.
Cover-ups also offer essential protection from the sun. While sunscreen is obviously crucial, wearing a cover-up provides an extra layer of defense against harmful UV rays, helping to prevent sunburn and reduce the risk of long-term skin damage.
Don't forget that beach weather can sometimes be unpredictable, and evenings by the sea can get chilly. A lightweight cover-up made from materials like cotton, linen, or rayon can keep you comfortable without causing overheating.
With all that said, consider investing in a cute cover-up to pack on your next vacation or weekend getaway. L'OFFICIEL has rounded up some of the chicest swimsuit cover-ups for this beach season.
