Swimsuit season is here and that means pool parties, beach excursions and tropical vacations are on the horizon. The only dilemma a fashionista faces at any event requiring swimwear is what to wear over her swimsuit while she's not sunbathing or taking a dip in the pool or ocean. These dilemmas can easily be solved with a fashionable and sleek cover-up which shows off one’s style savvy, while keeping the goose bumps at bay!
Getting dressed for the pool or the beach isn't just about the swimsuit anymore. Today's fashion designers have created cover-ups that follow all of the current fashion trends. And while each piece is meant to conceal or even complement your swimwear, these cover-ups are most definitely meant to be shown off! Some of the hottest styles for Summer 2013 include: Tunics, Halters, Tanks, Jumpers, Wraps, Skirts, Pants, Short Dresses, and Maxi Dresses. Cover-ups are being shown in bright colors, tribal prints, color blocking, stripes and florals and I assure you there is a color, print, or pattern to fit every style preference.
When picking out the right cover-up, it's important to first purchase your swimsuit. Swimsuit shopping is just as difficult as denim shopping, so to make things easy, always buy your swimwear first. This will help alleviate any potential “matching” problems when it comes time to pair your swimwear with your cover-up. If you choose a solid colored swimsuit, look for a tribal, floral or striped cover-up to contrast the swimsuit. Vice-versa, if you choose a swimsuit with a print. Pick up one color from the suit and look for a cover-up in that hue. If you can buy the swimsuit and the cover-up on the same day- even better!
As for the silhouette, look for the same necklines and silhouettes in your cover-up that flatter you in the rest of your wardrobe. If a strapless dress tends to not work for you, don’t even try it with your cover-up. If halter tops always flatter you, stick with this style and pick a cover-up with a halter top. After all, your fabulous fashion sense will make any swimsuit soiree all the more amazing.
The best part about beach cover-ups is their versatility. These two-in-one garments can accompany you from beach to cocktails by the pool effortlessly, and just as easily transition from day at the beach to night of dinner and dancing. Just add a touch of sparkle to your cover-up dress with some jewelery and a pair of metallic sandals and away you go.
Less is always more when it comes to baring too much skin with swimwear, so leave a little to the imagination and invest in a stylish beach cover-up this Summer!
