Fashion fact: We like to team every swimsuit we rock with an adorable cover-up. While the majority are strictly meant for the beach or pool, there are some we can also wear out and about — specifically dresses! Why shop for cover-ups that we can only team with swimsuits when we can diversify our summer wardrobes in the process?
Our mission was to find the absolute best cover-ups that can take you from the beach to the streets. These are some of the best styles we’ve found to date, and we think you’ll love them just as much as we do. Check out our top picks below!
