Okay, but seriously: Why are swimsuit cover-ups so chic? We feel disappointed every time we think we see a cute dress, only to realize it’s actually a cover-up. But let’s pause here. Why are we disappointed? Who says we can’t wear these cover-ups as dresses on non-beach days?
Some might need a slip or extra layer, but ultimately, there are plenty of stylish cover-ups out there that can double as pretty summer dresses. They’ll be nice and lightweight for super hot days too. Into the idea? Check out 21 of our favorite picks!
Button Cover-Ups
1. Our Absolute Favorite: We instantly fell in love with the oversized design, the patch pockets and the babydoll silhouette of this comfy Bsubseach dress!
2. We Also Love: Inspired by the classic work shirt, this other Bsubseach dress perfectly blends sophistication and carefree fun!
3. We Can’t Forget: We can’t decide what we love most about this Akalnny cover-up: the stripes, the collar, the buttons or the fluttery sleeves!
Crochet Cover-Ups
4. Our Absolute Favorite: It’s easy to see why Amazon shoppers adore this Jeasona cover-up. Just pop a short slip on underneath!
5. We Also Love: Wear this high-neck Ailunsnika dress over a slip over maybe even over a long bodysuit/unitard!
