Off-the-shoulder coverup

 

Off-the-shoulder details make just about any garment look ultra chic, meaning a swim cover that flaunts this style is a definite keeper. Pair a strapless (or removable strap) bandeau swimsuit underneath so there’s nothing interfering with the exposed detail.

As for styling, throw on a glamorous straw hat, espadrille sandals, and aviator sunglasses to make it look as if you’re about to bask on the gorgeous white beaches of St. Tropez. (and if you actually are, consider me jealous.)

And don’t forget to apply extra sunscreen on your shoulders!
