How to Choose Your Cover Up
Think about how much coverage you want. Open fish net and hollow out knits show the most of your swimsuit, while denser openwork knits feel closer to a light sweater. Oversized and drop shoulder shapes slip on easily over wet swimwear, and side slits make walking on sand easier. Long sleeve styles are a smart pick for breezy evenings on the boardwalk.
Color matters too. Neutrals like off white, oatmeal, taupe and charcoal go with nearly any swimsuit you already own, so they are the easiest first buy. Brights like mango, kelly green and dark pink turn a plain black swimsuit into an outfit, and stripes add a playful, nautical feel. Our size guide helps if you are between sizes.
How to Wear It
- Layer a crochet cover up over a bikini set in a contrasting color so the pattern shows.
- Pair an off white knit with a one piece swimsuit for a clean resort look.
- Add denim shorts and sandals to wear an openwork knit to a beach lunch.
- Belt a long sleeve knit over a swimsuit and add sandals for a sunset dinner by the water.
- Pack two or three for a trip and rotate them with the rest of your vacation shop finds.
Caring for Crochet and Knits
Follow the care label first. Rinse out salt water and sunscreen soon after the beach, wash gently, and dry flat so the stitches keep their shape. Open knits can snag, so keep them away from rough surfaces and jewelry clasps. Read more about the craft of crochet.
