Swimsuit Coverup

What is it?

A swimsuit coverup is a good option for you whether you feel shy showing your tushy or you want a sexy and simple addition to make you stand out at the beach.


In the swimwear world, a swimsuit coverup is a sarong like hip scarf that you wear around your hips. Often they look like a shawl or a wrap. Lying flat, it looks like a large triangle of fabric.

Another type of cover up is for the upper body, like a loosely fitted tunic. The idea is that you can throw it over on top of your swimsuit when you’re done swimming.

Coverups offer three benefits:
  • you won’t get chilly when you're out of the water
  • the cover up offers a very low but effective UV protection. Depending on the fabric...a t-shirt is usually the equivalent of an SPF 10-15.
  • And of course, it’s stylish!

Cover-ups look great when you’re headed to the beach or pool and you don’t want to worry about changing in public. All you have to do is put it on, or take it off! It’s like an instant skirt. This easy addition will really set you apart from the rest of the gals.

Coverup with an Oriental twist

Shopping

Here’s something to remember next time you shop for swimsuits. Did you know that most stores now carry matching cover-ups? They are easy to recognize since they have essentially the same pattern and fabric as your swimsuit of choice.

The recent styles of swimsuit cover ups are hard to recognize, because they look just like lounge pants, dresses and mini skirts! Again, you can always find the coordinating swimsuit with it, so you don’t have to mix and match yourself. These mini skirt look-alikes are also useful because you won’t have to worry about tying the sarong and making sure it stays on.

Coverups are an excellent choice for plus size women, they can make you look slimmer. If you’re bottom heavy, try a black or dark brown sheer coverup. It will hide your curves, just like how wearing black makes you look slimmer.

If you want to show and accentuate your curves, I recommend a short bright colored coverup like white or pink. That will really make your butt pop out.

There are unlimited styles and colors for you to choose from, just keep your swimsuit in mind since you will be wearing them together.

Quick tip: If you’re having trouble keeping the swimsuit coverup on, tie a nice hair band elastic around it (with rhinestones or gems are a good idea). It keeps it secure and it’s pretty!

Making your own swimsuit coverup or sarong is an inexpensive and easy to do idea. If you're feeling crafty and creative, here are some ideas to...
