Beach cover-ups for size 16-18

I am looking for some recommendations for a beach/pool cover-up please at a reasonable price. To suit size 16-18.

I really dislike how I look in a swimsuit so the more covered up I can be while not looking odd is preferable. We don’t usually do this sort of holiday so I’ve never needed to buy a cover-up apart from a sarong many years ago.

Can’t link as it just goes through to the main page but George at Asda have some lovely oversized longline sheer ish shirts in their holiday wear section that are good for this.

I got a couple of long sheer shirts in primark recently that were great for wandering around the pool - this they were about £8 and they washed up brilliantly

Next usually have a good selection of this sort of thing.

Primark have some great cover-ups and just bought a 100% cotton, broderie anglais cover up / kimono for £15. Matalan also a good place to look.

I had one of these from last year and it was such a versatile item that I recently bought two from their current range. Great with shorts and as cover-ups and wash / wear very well.

I also got the long line sheer shirts from Primark and they are fab. Super flattering. I do think they don't block the sun completely so suncream under.

Long white oversized shirt bought from H&M. Roll sleeves up and show a bit of swimwear under. I paired with cycling shorts (legs are slimmest part and only a bit showing under shirt) and cross body tiny bag and actually thought I looked more stylish than usual! Also very oversized boxy black t-shirt covers everything and is stylish.
