D&J Apparel Openwork Long Sleeve Cover Up Dress in White

Some cover ups are an afterthought and some earn their place in the bag. This one is the second kind. The openwork pattern lets light and air through so it never clings on a hot afternoon, and the long sleeves give you a little coverage when the sun gets high or the breeze picks up after a swim. In crisp white, it reads clean and easy against a tan.

It is made from 100% polyester with a slightly stretchy hand, so it moves with you and settles back into shape instead of holding wrinkles from the beach bag. A tie detail lets you decide how loose or gathered you want it. Sizes run S to L, with a top length of about 31.1 to 31.9 in, a bust of 32.3 to 35.4 in, sleeves of 23.6 to 24.4 in and a waist of 29.9 to 33.1 in. It sits as a short dress on most frames, which makes it simple to pull on and off over a swimsuit with damp skin.

Wear it straight over a bikini with slides and a straw tote, then keep it on for a lunch table by the water with sandals and a few gold pieces. It packs flat, weighs almost nothing in a carry on, and works for a pool day at home just as well as a week away. If you want one white piece that handles the whole vacation, start here.
