Beach cover ups

9 replies

PointeShoesandTutus · 25/03/2022 06:39

Going away with the extended family, all of whom are very slim, expensively dressed beautiful creatures. I’ve just had DD2 and feel less than glamorous.

Where can I get some nice, flattering, expensive looking beach cover ups? I just don’t feel confident parading in my swimsuit, but will need something easy for playing with my eldest.

Ideally navy/black/white, cotton or natural fabric, short sleeved and above the knee.

Has anyone spotted anything?

Aspiga is super nice, cotton, not nasty polyester.

Have a look on The Outnet www.theoutnet.com/en-hk/shop/clothing/beachwear/coverups?orderBy=8&pageNumber=1

I picked up some Seafolly pieces there which last well with the sand and sun cream that comes with being with kids. They also do Jets Australia which again I find holds up well.

You know this is very hard to find without spending a lot of money it seems. Second the out-net. H&M and Primark also worth a look. I got something in white (cotton) from the latter which was a dress but worked as beach cover up and cheap as chips. I assume their big stores will be bringing out the holiday stuff about now. H&M oversized linen/mix shirts might work well too. If money was no object Tory Burch!

Sorry I didn't see the natural fabric thing. M&S has some decent cotton shirts/beach dresses www.marksandspencer.com/pure-cotton-embroidered-mini-waisted-dress/p/clp60535677?color=BLACK

Thank you - lots to check out. That M&S one looks spot on though!

I have bought £25 M&S long line cotton beach shirts this year (various colours) and they are perfect. They look more expensive, are light and pure cotton. and you can contrast the colours with your swimwear.
