Leaf Dress by Lisa Lozano

We’ve all been warned to play it safe when it comes to sun protection, and with a sizzling hot cover-up style…we can!  At last, we can combine function and fashion with this summer’s sexy new designer cover-ups, while still looking fashionably chic for summer.

There are many versatile cover-up styles, so whatever your summer fun in the sun may be, we’ve got you covered (no pun intended).  Simple tunics come in various styles, and lightweight fabrics like rayon or cotton knit will really let you breathe easy.  A short sundress also makes a classic cover-up style, and like tunics, sundresses vary in design and color.  Tunics and sundresses are perfect for walking to and from the beach, and they’ll provide just enough coverage when you decide to take a break from the sun and grab a bite to eat.

However, long maxi dresses are by far my favorite summer cover-up style, and they seem to be a big hit this season.  Also, long maxi dresses are perhaps the most versatile cover-up style out there right now!  These chic dresses vary in color and style, and they’re always perfect for the beach or pool, for day or for night.  Long maxi dresses like Lauren or Lucy by Vitamin A, and Sunset Jersey or Train Black by ViX, are perfect for transforming you from beach-ready beauty to daiquiri-drinking diva.  Long maxi dresses are the perfect cover-up style and with your newfound sleek silhouette, you’ll be ready for anything!

Now that you know a bit about the different cover-up options out there, we want to know what cover-up style you are sporting these days?  Leave us a comment–we would love to know how you cover up for the beach or pool!
