Swimsuits are fun, but sometimes the cover-ups we wear before we reveal them are even more exciting. How many times have you seen a beautiful swimsuit cover-up and wore it a lot longer than you actually needed to? How many times did you wish you could just wear the cover-up instead of a “real” outfit? We’ve been there. And we know that you’ll be there again this year when traveling or just hanging out by the pool.
That’s why we’ve chosen 17 of our favorite cover-ups that you can wear with or without a swimsuit. From spaghetti strap dresses to oversized shirt dresses, there are options here for every style preference in plenty of colors too. This year, get a cute cover-up that you love just as much as your bikini or one-piece. And wear it as often as you want! Read on for our picks below.
