How To

How to Buy a Beach Coverup

Leave the large T-shirts at home this season, and instead invest in a fashionable and comfortable beach coverup. A beach coverup gives you a little additional protection from the sun, and can also help you stay fashionable while you maintain your modesty at the beach or during an after-sun excursion.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Determine your purpose in getting a beach coverup. Beach coveups can provide modesty and sun protection, or can allow you to go straight from the beach to an informal restaurant without having to change clothes. You can also buy a coverup that you can incorporate into your regular wardrobe.

  2. Step 2

    Consider a sarong, or pareo, to wrap around your waist as a skirt or around your body as an impromptu dress. Sarongs are fashionable and versatile, and they take up no space in your luggage. You can buy a sarong and learn ways to tie it at 1 World Sarongs.

  3. Step 3

    Think about a coverup dress, which is a short, pull-on dress that's appropriate to wear out before or after your beach trip. Some coverup dresses can double as sundresses for days when the beach isn't in your plans. Others you can pair with pants for a casual tunic look. Websites like NexTag gather together a range of styles so you can easily compare dress styles.

  4. Step 4

    Use pants as a coverup. Yoga or gaucho pants, or any type of relatively loose pants provide an easy solution for the beach. When you buy pants as a coverup, make sure sand, sun and water won't damage the fabric, and choose something that's easy to slip on.

on 12/19/2008 I love cover ups! I recently got a cover up called a Towelini and it was great. It's cool because you can use it like a beach towel as well. Any way, I just wanted to mention that. You can see it on www.towelini.com
