Sure, the swimsuit gets the spotlight—but the real style MVP? The cover-up. It’s the piece that pulls it all together and gets you from pool to wherever next (no towel-draping required). From throw-on-and-go sarongs to oversized button-downs, caftans, and a few key crochet picks (I’m eyeing this), there’s no shortage of chic options. Below, seven swimsuit and coverup combos (plus the accessories to finish off the look!) that will make getting dressed for a day by the water a total breeze.
