Beach Fashion Tips
Choosing Your Beach Cover Up
What is a beach cover-up?
A beach cover-up is a garment worn over swimwear, designed to provide coverage and style while you're at the beach or pool.
What types of beach cover-ups do you offer?
We offer a variety of beach cover-ups including kaftans, tunics, maxi dresses, midi dresses, and sarongs.
What’s the difference between a maxi dress and a midi dress?
Maxi dresses typically fall to the ankles or floor, providing full-length coverage. They are designed to create an elegant and flowing look, perfect for both casual and formal settings.
Midi dresses fall to mid-calf length, typically ending somewhere between the knee and the ankle. This length offers a balance between the coverage of a maxi dress and the breeziness of a shorter dress.
How do I choose the right beach cover-up for my body type?
Choosing the perfect beach cover-up involves understanding your body type and selecting styles that enhance your best features while providing comfort and confidence.
- Hourglass Shape: Highlight your waist with wrap dresses or belted tunics.
- Pear Shape: Draw attention to your upper body with embellished necklines or off-the-shoulder styles.
- Apple Shape: Opt for A-line dresses or kaftans that provide a relaxed fit around the midsection.
- Rectangle Shape: Create curves with cover-ups that have ruffles or patterns.
- Inverted Triangle Shape: Balance your silhouette with flowy sarongs or maxi dresses.
How do I choose the right beach cover-up for my body type?
Absolutely! Many beach cover-ups are designed to be versatile and stylish enough for everyday wear. For instance, kaftans can easily transition into chic boho outfits when paired with sandals and a wide-brimmed hat, and adding a belt can give them a more structured look. Tunics are another great option, as they can be worn over leggings or skinny jeans for a comfortable yet fashionable ensemble. Maxi and midi dresses are also perfect for daily wear, providing an effortless style that can be dressed up with accessories or kept casual with flip-flops. Even sarongs can be creatively styled as skirts or dresses, making them a practical and stylish addition to your everyday wardrobe. With a few simple adjustments, beach cover-ups can seamlessly fit into a variety of casual and semi-formal occasions.
Fabrics, Care & Sizing
What fabrics are best for beach cover-ups?
The best fabrics for beach cover-ups are lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying to ensure comfort in the heat and easy transition from beach to other activities.
- Cotton is a popular choice because it is soft, breathable, and absorbs moisture well.
- Linen is another excellent option, known for its lightness and ability to keep you cool in hot weather.
- Chiffon is favored for its sheer, airy quality and elegant drape, making it perfect for a more stylish look.
- Rayon is soft and comfortable, offering a smooth texture that feels great against the skin.
- Finally, jersey fabric is stretchy and comfortable, providing a snug fit without being too tight, making it ideal for more form-fitting cover-up styles.
These fabrics ensure that your beach cover-up is not only stylish but also practical and comfortable for a day in the sun.
