Whenever I am sprawled out on a comfy hammock-esque sun-chair I always make sure to have a few things within reaching distance: sunscreen, a wide brim hat, big sunglasses, comfortable sandals, and a beach cover-up. The importance of a great cover-up stretches past just looking stylish while lounging poolside; it’s also a necessity on those mega hot days which leave a brutal burn rather than a healthy glow.
Once upon a time, finding a beach cover-up was quite a feat. It seemed like there were only a few simple options out there that either were too billowy, covered too much, or covered too little; but now it seems everywhere I turn I can easily spot an endless amount of options such as robe cover-ups, dress-fit, and even light sheer shorts.
