Every summer, the season turns towards warm, suddenly hot weather, and we’re hit with a few specific wardrobe challenges. One of them is the debut of our swimsuits, and with that can come some very common body insecurities. Fear not, we’ve got you covered. The standard cover up— you know, sheer tank dresses, a sarong, mesh pants et all— is an option that we prefer to skip as it never feels resolved, or complete and often does not cover much, which is after all, the point. There are plenty of other stylish ideas to obscure those challenging areas that are acceptable on the lounge chair or underwater, but may feel less appropriate after a few a meters from the pool deck. Let’s walk with confidence and style to the cabana bathroom or the ice cream truck. Here are some suggestion for some cooler, classier, edgier cover up options that take us from beach to bar, pool to pasticceria or deck to dinner.
