Cutout Halter Neck Cover Up Dress

The cover up is the piece that decides whether you actually leave the towel, and this halter neck style from D&J Apparel makes that easy. Open cutout panels are worked through the body in a decorative pattern, so it layers over a bikini or a one piece and lets your swimwear show through rather than hiding it. The halter neckline keeps the shoulders bare and the tan lines simple.

It is made from 100% polyester with a slight stretch, which is why the open work settles around the body instead of standing away from it. The fabric is sheer, so it reads as a layer rather than a dress on its own, and it shakes out quickly after a swim. It comes in one size and falls long enough to cover through the hip and thigh.

Pull it on over your swimsuit for a beach bar lunch, a walk along the sand or the slow stretch of afternoon between the water and dinner. Flat sandals, gold hoops and a straw tote finish it without effort, and a wide brim hat makes it feel like a plan rather than an afterthought. It rolls small in a beach bag, which matters more than it sounds when you are packing light. Choose from gray and white, black or apricot.
