The Swimsuit Cover-Up I’ve Lived in All Summer Is Under $40 at Amazon

It’s hard to find a swimsuit cover-up that checks all the boxes: comfortable, cute, and complimentary. Many are too short, sheer, or scratchy. But I found a crochet cover-up dress that has quickly become my go-to pick for summer.

Back in April, my cousin wore the Anrabess Sleeveless Swimsuit Cover-Up in khaki during a family trip to Florida. The scalloped edges around the hem, sleeves, and neckline caught my eye, and she raved about how high quality the crochet fabric felt against her bare skin. Plus, it was a comfortable choice for her to wear while playing with her three-year-old daughter in the sand. She shared the Amazon link with me upon request, and I bought it in the brown shade as soon as I returned home. 

I’ve worn this cover-up dress everywhere — from the beach in Hawaii to the pool in Minneapolis. 

Anrabess Sleeveless Swimsuit Cover-Up

Crochet fabric can be itchy, but this dress isn’t at all. The material is just thick enough to feel snag-proof, but still breathable in the heat and quick-drying if it gets wet. While the dress’s holes show a flash of swimsuit underneath, I like that it’s not totally see-through, so I can wear it straight from the beach to an outdoor patio. The front is modest, but the oval cutout in the back gives it extra flair.

My cousin especially appreciates that the cover-up dress isn’t too short, which is a common problem she runs into when dressing her 5’10” frame. While it lands at her mid-thigh, the cover-up hits me just a couple of inches above my knee, since I’m 5’5.” What’s more, the neckline of this beach cover-up works well with all of my swimsuit styles, including one-shouldered tops, halter one-pieces, and triangle bikinis. 

The cover-up dress is available in sixteen colors and patterns, and since I’m getting so much wear out of mine, I’m planning on buying it in a few more shades, like navy and apricot. I even recommended the white version to my friend, whose bachelorette party itinerary includes a boat day on the ocean next month. 

The best part? It’s a great choice for traveling, since unlike linen cover-ups that can crease in your carry-on, it’s totally wrinkle-proof.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll wear this easy cover-up on repeat this summer. Even when I packed other cover-up options for these trips, this is the one I returned to. Head to Amazon now and snag the Anrabess Sleeveless Swimsuit Cover-Up..
