These Cute Cover-Ups Will Make Lounging in the Backyard Much More Chic

If you've already got a flattering bathing suit, you're loaded with sunscreen, have a stack of beach reads, and even a straw tote bag to store all of your essentials, there's just one more thing you need to be summer-ready: a cute cover-up. Think gauzy dresses in trendy patterns (hello tie dye!), kimono-style caftans, cute two-piece pants sets, boardwalk shorts, breezy sarongs, and more. To help choose easy-to-wear, fashion-forward options, we turned to O's fashion assistant, Ashley Tucker, for her recommendations on chic swimsuit cover-ups—including plus-size options—that are so comfortable you could even wear them at home. Whether you're planning on going to the beach, hanging out on a pool float, or just sitting in your backyard, these cover-ups—available to shop online at Walmart, Old Navy, Target, Amazon, Nordstrom and more—will be all you want to wear when the temperature spikes.
