Hey my beautiful ladies! Summer time is in full swing, so I am sure that you have already planned your vacation. The point of being by the pool, lake or beach is to soak up the sun with sunscreen, relax under an umbrella, or swim. In these cases, you’ll wear only your swimsuit. But there are times in these settings when you’ll probably want to partially cover up your body and swimsuit. For example when you’re walking to and from the car, visiting the restroom, grabbing a bite to eat, chasing toddlers, playing beach bats, strolling along the beach, when it feels a little breezy, or when you’ve just had enough of exposing lots of skin.
Although you can easily throw on jean shorts and a tee for the beach, it’s always more fun to dress up. Right?? Cover ups have evolved and transitioned into a hot fashion item that helps you look stylish on the beach and off. So, here are 20 of our favorite cover ups of the moment. Check out the pictures below and get inspired.
