Beach Cover-Ups

Any holiday that involves time on the beach or by the pool requires a decent cover-up. Whether you fling it on as you run after the kids, or need something that takes you from beach to bar, look for one that’s as stylish as it is versatile. We have four solutions, from a loose linen dress that you can also wear at night, to denim shorts perfect for sightseeing and gelato runs.

Shirt

One thing we always pack is a loose linen shirt, perfect for throwing on over swimwear without worrying about salt and sand. Our top tip: slightly oversized is always best.

Denim Shorts

Another holiday essential, denim shorts look great with swimwear, whether you’re a bikini girl or prefer a one-piece.

Dress

Cool, stylish, comfortable dresses fill most of our holiday suitcase and we wear them for everything – all you need to do is change up your accessories.

Trousers

You may not immediately think of taking trousers to the beach, but this cotton pair would look amazing with a bikini top, and they’re perfect for slipping on at lunchtime.
