12 Cute Beach Cover-Ups For Spring Beach Season

by Sienna Fantozzi

After way too long of a winter, we've finally reached spring and that means one thing: the start of beach season. While you may have your swimsuit game totally nailed, there's another item that you might want to add to your shopping list. I've rounded up some of the best beach cover-ups to shop this spring, so your entire outfit will be on point when you hit the beach or pool this season.

It's easy to just throw on a tank top and cut-offs and go when you're headed to the beach, but wearing your everyday clothes isn't always a great idea. They can obviously get wet or sandy very easily, so it's definitely good to have a couple of go-to cover-ups on hand that you can throw over your wet swimsuit at the end of the day and not worry about water stains or sand in places that it just should not be. Plus, cover-ups are just so much comfier for lounging around in.

While you can go the traditional route with a loose, oversized tunic, there are also plenty of options that are polished enough to go from the beach to a restaurant, for example, so you don't have to worry about packing a change of clothes after a day at the beach.

If you're in need of a new coverup, here are 12 to shop that are both practical and totally fab.

1. Skirt & Crop Top
