Putting together the perfect beach or poolside outfit means much more than selecting a bikini or a one-piece. A thoughtfully styled swimsuit cover-up helps to bring the entire look together and makes for an easy transition from the water to whatever you have planned next. The wonders and stylish potentials of the cover-up were certainly evident in Mara Hoffman’s cleverly styled spring 2021 collection, which paired bikini tops with hosiery, and Chanel’s resort 2021 presentation, which made a case for the tiered ruffled skirt as a cover-up. And these are only a few of the many options we have.

There are the tried-and-true sarong scarves, the classic linen button-up, and in an unexpected twist, we’re even seeing cardigans from the likes of many swimwear designers. Below, these and more of the best swimsuit cover-ups, which are, by the way, chic enough to wear beyond the beach.
