Pool and beach cover-ups are hotter than ever for summer 2015! There are so many trends available to wear over your swimsuit that it makes it almost impossible to choose a favorite. Fortunately, there’s no need to choose. Because of the general trends in fashion, your cover-ups can do double duty for other fun summer activities…read on!
Caftans
The 70s trend in clothing is just about the hottest one going this season, and swimwear is no exception. Printed caftans and tunics are gorgeous, and if you choose one with a tiny bit of added length, they’re easy and glamorous to wear for poolside lunch and cocktails. When the cool breezes blow in the evening, simply pop on a pair of heels, and you’re set to go!
Kimonos
Another trendy design this season is the chiffon kimono. This fun style also goes the extra mile. Taking a day off from the beach? Wear your kimono over a tank and cut offs for a fun day of sightseeing. Heading to an evening concert? Layer your kimono over a tank and leggings or skinny jeans for an elegant look.
Maxis
Maxi dresses and skirts have long been a favorite and are especially great cover-ups over a bikini. Like the caftan and tunic, these styles are perfect for taking you from the pool to the barstool.
Rompers
If you’re just not a dress kind of gal, jumpsuits and rompers are equally cute as stand-ins for swimsuit cover-ups. These one-piece outfits give you style in one easy step.
White Button-Ups
Should your style be a bit more classic, practical or preppy, an oversized white shirt with the sleeves rolled is a natural shield from the sun. And I know I don’t need to tell you what all you can wear it with on non-pool days!
Your choices are as variable as the grains of sand on a beach, Whether you’re looking for something cute, casual, elegant or bohemian, one thing is certain – when you stock up on swim cover-ups this season, you’ll never have to settle for wearing cut offs or gym shorts over your swim suits again.
