The 10 Best Beach Cover-Ups for Your 2022 Summer
High-end designer… dresses under $100… plus-sized… and sun-protective clothing… this list has it all!
Let me just say it.
It’s hard to look chic at the beach.
First off, I don’t care who you are — or how great your body is — everyone and I mean everyone feels self-conscious in a swimsuit.
So, there’s that.
Then, there’s the all-important beach coverup.
I mean, you have to arrive looking chic, right?
But good coverups aren’t so easy to find.
Trust me.
I’ve been looking for months.
So, here goes — the very best ones I could find…
Some designer, some budget options…
Basically, a little something for everyone.
Here are my TOP 10 BEST BEACH COVERUPS FOR SUMMER 2022:
1. ERES DÉSIRÉE LONG SARONG DRESS, $450. — I’m putting my money where my mouth is on this one. I actually own this dress. You’ll be seeing me in it all summer. Chic, sexy, easy to wear… everything you want in a beach coverup.

2. STAUD VINCENT DRESS, $235. — This is another dress I own. Believe it or not, I bought it a few years ago… and never wore it. No idea why, it’s so chic. I’m taking it with me to Italy next week… and plan to wear it… a lot.

3. EMILIO PUCCI PRINTED COTTON-VOILE PAREO, $339.95 — Nothing says “Mediterranean holiday” quite like Pucci. I love the long length of this pareo. And, frankly, what’s more iconic than a Pucci print?

4. ULLA JOHNSON PAZ COVERUP, $175. — While we’re looking at pareos, have a look at this. You know what they say… leopard is a neutral. Love this coverup. Get the matching one-piece swimsuit, too.

5. COOLIBAR PETRA WIDE LEG PANTS UPF 50+, $89. — One of my best girlfriends is obsessed with finding clothing that has sun protection. She turned me onto Coolibar, a brand that uses fabrics that block 98% of UVA/UVB rays. I love these cropped pants that tie at the bottom. Can wear over a one-piece swimsuit.
