Coastal Weave

Look, there’s every reason to get a bit wound up with swimwear shopping, but none to knock yourself out about what to wear once the towels go down on the sand. Effortless coastal style doesn’t have to involve a pressed kaftan and perfectly ironed beach hat. In fact, it can be as simple as grabbing this loose-woven mesh cover-up and chucking it over your bikini or bathers, wherever you are.

The self-tie neckline of this cover-up adds a casual touch without dropping into those cringe ‘holiday vibes’ memes that turn up on Pinterest around springtime. The slightly scoop neck is bordered with a tighter knit trim which can be worn off the shoulder or more straight and modest, depending on the mood or how much SPF is on standby. Those dreamy long sleeves mean you won’t end up looking like a lobster after spending hours in the sun, not to mention that hint of sophistication that comes with full-coverage sleeves. It’s not wintery though - thanks to how sheer and lightweight this mesh is, it’s surprisingly comfortable and breezy.

A relaxed fit like this one ensures freedom of movement and zero restriction across the mid-section - great for post-lunch cover-up runs or when the wind starts to pick up on the coast. The acrylic-cotton blend keeps things feeling fresh all day long - even if you do end up hitting the waves twice in one trip.

Not only does it exude that beachside energy from all angles, but there are also subtle details that make this one a stand-out choice for swimwear styling. Like those ever-so-slight side splits - no risk of accidental topples here - as well as tight-knit bands along all hems so you won’t find threads coming loose between wears. An above-the-knee mini length shows off more than enough leg while still holding its own as far as modesty goes, making it incredibly versatile too.

This is premium swimwear layering made easy - top it off with the right hat and some sunglasses and you’ll look runway-ready in no time at all.
