Coco Cover-up

While shopping for a cover-up, look for comfort, quality, quick-dry materials, and fit.

The buttons are just for show (wed rather they were functional).

Its available in 18 colorways, so theres certain to be one (or more!)

that works with yourtravel wardrobe.

Made of 100 percent polyester in a mesh weave, this cover-up is fully breathable.

We also love the cinch-waist silhouette, which is super flattering.

A little bit of stretch means you might wish to size down for a more body-con vibe.

This piece has a dressier look than your average casual cover-up.

Sometimes, you need the versatility to head straight from the pool into a proper meal or meetup.

And we love a packing powerhouse that serves multiple functions.

It also has two layers of fabric in the construction, so its not as see-through as many cover-ups.

Made of 100 percent cotton, this dress is super lightweight and it dries quickly when it’s wet.

This dress is fairly roomy, so size down for a slimmer fit.

And did we mention it has pockets?

We love a functional pocket for stashing a room key and lip color for a hands-free evening stroll.

This style only comes in white.

This is one of the more expensive dresses on our list, but its worth the splurge.

Its appropriately rich-looking, with delicate tassel ties fitted with golden beads.

It comes in eight solid color options, plus a geometric print.

The intense compression can make this one a bit challenging to get on.

We love this long sarong, made of a stretchy and quick-drying material.

you could adjust the slit and wear it on either side.

Any way you wear it, its perfect for adding a bit more coverage while wearinga two-piece swimsuit.

We love how this dress works equally well as a swimsuit cover-up or as a flowing summer dress.

Cupshe Crochet Mini

It comes almost to the knee so it provides plenty of coverage for sun protection and modesty.

The crochet material can feel warm on scorching hot days.

We found it paired equally well over one-piece andtwo-piece bikinis.

Cupshe Crochet Mini

We tested it in white and felt the look was appropriate to wear from the beach straight into lunch.

The right look for you all comes down to personal style preferences and usage plans.

Instead, toss cover-ups like these to your towel before hitting the water.

Cupshe Crochet Mini

Most cover-ups can be hand-washed, and this is generally a safe method.

(Dont wring it out, as this can stretch the fabric.)

For cover-ups with embellishments like tassels and beads, spot clean to avoid damaging these delicate pieces.
