20 stylish swim cover-ups to live in this summer

By Dobrina Zhekova, TRAVELLEISURE

You’ll need cool sunglasses, a cute swimsuit, a pair of sandals, plenty of sunblock, and a chic cover-up that you can quickly slip on should you decide to move the party some place else or go for a quick bite.

In our opinion, beachwear should always be flattering, comfortable, and stylish. We love the classics — you can get creative with a bold-printed sarong and come up with different ways to tie it every time you head down to the sand.

A cute cotton romper or an off-the-shoulder maxi dress in a vibrant hue are so easy to wear and will have you looking chic and vacation-appropriate. If you’re headed to a destination that tends to get a bit breezier in the evening, opt for a long-sleeved tunic or a pair of wide-legged linen pants that you could pair with a shirt or a lightweight summer jacket.

Whether you prefer to mix and match separates or don a one-piece, you’ll have plenty of choices to consider for your next beach getaway.
