1. A lace cover-up boasting thousands of 5-star reviews from people who can ~knot~ believe they scored such a great deal for this little tie-front number.
Promising review: "Because these swim cover-ups look like a lace type of knit I wasn't expecting them to be soft. They are so incredibly soft and comfortable that I plan to order many more. I got a few different colors already and all of them were true to color from the photos on the listing. I couldn't be happier with my purchase of these cover-ups!" —Sarah G.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 16 colors).
2. An Eloquii sarong wrap cover-up for you to take long strolls on the beach in as the oceanside breeze helps style your hair for the perfect photo op.
Promising review: "I bought this for my upcoming vacation in the USVI along with the matching swimsuit. This sarong is of great quality with beautiful vivid colors and it's true to size. Can’t wait to wear the entire set." —Ron C.
Get it from Eloquii for $69.95 (available in sizes 14–28 and two colors).
How about some beach towels to match your new cover-up?
3. A super soft boho swimsuit cover-up you won't mind changing into – even if you really do not want to get out of the water yet.
Promising review: "BLOWN AWAY. I usually don’t have too much luck with clothes from amazon but I am so happy with this. It’s crazy soft and perfect to cover my suits. 10/10!" —Zoe Klingaman

4. A lightweight sarong cover-up for anyone who can't decide between a short or long skirt – this one lets you enjoy the best of both worlds!
Promising review: "I normally don't write reviews but this is SO cute and the blue color is beautiful. I was debating on getting a short version of this, but I'm really glad I got this long one since it can be worn as a dress if you need to go into a restaurant or something. If you want it to be shorter, you can also just fold it in half." —sophia h
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in 48 colors).

Promising review: "A head-turner in the classiest way possible! I bought this on a whim since I wanted another option than my standard cover-up for hanging poolside. LOVE IT! It looks so beautiful and classy. When walking, it flows so beautifully in the wind. Comfortable material and beautiful color. I definitely want to purchase in more colors." —AllieClaire

Get it from Free People for $98 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors).
11. A cozy knit cover-up to slip into after catchin' waves and rays all day (try saying that five times fast).
Promising review: "I live in Florida, where we spend 8–10 months in bathing suits. This is the cutest, most functional coverup I own. It is so soft – like a sweater – but very lightweight. I love that the pattern does enough to distract from the fact that you only have on a bathing suit under it. I was comfortable enough to walk into convenience stores and hotel lobbies because I didn't feel exposed. Fits comfortable and loose, lets the breeze move around you instead of sticking to you when your suit is wet. LOVE IT!" —Kristin Barron
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in seven colors).
Be sure to pack some really great sunscreen too!
12. A Torrid cold shoulder ruffle cover-up featuring tie straps, a stretchy waist, and lace detailing – because we aren't sacrificing comfort for style here.
13. A lightweight swimsuit cover-up destined to elegantly trail behind you and be the star of all your impromptu poolside photo shoots.
Promising review: "I travel a lot and have been eyeing this cover-up for so long. I’m so mad that I waited so long. Here I am packing all these different coverups and this was the only one I needed. It can be dressed up or down with a pair of shorts. You wouldn’t think so, but it goes with most suits. I received sooo many compliments on it. Seriously, at every pool or beach strangers approached me. It’s good quality. Worth the extra few dollars. This will be the only cover-up I bring for now on." —Rebecca Trin
Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in seven colors).
14. A boho chic Free People midi skirt with a high-rise waist and column silhouette that'll have you booking tropical vacations year-round just so you'll have an excuse to wear this gem more often.

Get it from Free People for $70 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors).
