Bye, Denim Shorts—These 34 Swimsuit Cover-Ups Are Under $100 and Way Chicer
I used to always slip into denim shorts while hanging out by the pool, and while that worked in high school, the beach clubs I frequent on my vacations as an adult have a whole different set of standards. If you're still wearing denim shorts to the beach or pool, this article is for you. It's time to say goodbye to the "jorts" and step up your swimsuit cover-up game with these affordable options.
Who says cover-ups have to be boring? I used to think they were only for the beach until I really discovered my personal style. Many of the styles that I'm currently loving are also versatile enough to wear beyond the beach. Pair the crochet maxi dress with sandals and a denim jacket for a day out, or style a sarong with a logo tank for an effortless vacation look. Whether you prefer woven dresses or a classic button-down shirt, these 34 options are the perfect way to take your beach or poolside look to the next level without breaking the bank.
This is the kind of outfit that will have everyone asking where you got it from.
You'll have this item in your personal resortwear collection for years to come.
I added this to my cart in multiple colors—that's how much I love it.
This reminds me of one of the best from my collection.
I'm obsessed with the look of this over a swimsuit.
