If you’ve ever lined up for a Pine-Lime Splice at a beach kiosk with a queue full of sweaty teenage boys; if you’ve ever felt self-conscious in your swimmers because your body doesn’t look like Beyonce’s; or if you’ve ever found yourself on the beach frying in burning rays, then you know why it’s handy to have a cover-up to slip over your swimsuit.
So we’ve scoured the ‘net to find 7 beach cover-ups to suit every style.
Preppy
So Low cover up shirttail dress $78
This cover up looks like denim but is made from ultra-comfy jersey. Once summer is over, simply pop a pair of leather paneled leggings like these underneath and team with your fave knee-high leather boots.

Asos jewel print one piece $51
Now, back to that beach kiosk for another round of Splices, and ‘kill it’ like Beyonce!
