I haven't washed it yet to be able to tell you how it holds up but it's such a pretty top I'm going to order a black one for a hot summer, sexy night out while I plan on using this white one as a bikini cover-up. It's a win-win all around."

This crochet maxi dress is absolutely stunning and about to be my summer 2024 beach cover-up, night out, or "just want to look hot" go-to piece. The bell sleeves and metal detailing help elevate the dress and make it look like you spent way more money on it than you actually did.

  • Sizes: S-XXL
  • Colors: White, cream, black, brown

Glowing Customer Review: "This cover-up dress is classy and elegant. It fits like a dream and has stretch. Although it's a bit long (like a maxi dress) that was what I was looking for. The material feels heavy and well-made. Compared to pricier options, this one offers great quality at a more affordable price. It's comfortable with a good stretch, hugging the body nicely. Overall, it strikes the perfect balance between sexy and classy and can be worn as a coverup or as a summer dress if you wear a slip underneath.

Been seeing animal print (leopard specifically) lewks everywhere these days, huh? You can thank the mob-wife trend, and this sarong lets you have a little moment with it at the beach, too.

editor's favorite beach cover-up on amazon

Luli Fama Cosita Buena South Beach Dress Swimwear Cover Up

Editor’s Choice
Cosita Buena South Beach Dress Swimwear Cover Up

This little gold number right here is my go-to beach cover-up. The slightly sheer, gold-shimmer dress is great to layer over any bathing suit in the day, and can be worn into the night as a post-beach happy hour lewk. Throw on some wedges, and you've got yourself a party outfit.

  • Sizes: S-L
  • Colors: One* (*additional colors available from other sellers on Amazon)

Glowing Customer Review: "LOVE this! Chic, flattering, and unique; so much more stylish than the usual shapeless beach cover-ups. And the adjustable sides on the skirt give you a lot of flexibility as far as how sexy or revealing you want to be. I haven't test-driven this yet in a beach/pool setting, but I can see it is really versatile, and you could definitely wear it as a dress for a casual resort evening. I bought it in white and loved it so much when I tried it on that I immediately ordered another one in blue. (Also, the white does not seem see-through.)"

Cupshe Sleeveless Cover Up

Sleeveless Cover Up

Get yourself this gorge knit cover-up if you're going for the boho-chic aesthetic. It's available in 12 colors, and reviewers love how the quality seems/feels a lot more expensive than it actually is. The dress features high slits on both sides, so you won't feel restricted by a tight dress post-swimming.

  • Sizes: S-XXL
  • Colors: 12

Glowing Customer Review: "The small is plenty big on me [who is typically a size small], I would suggest sizing down. I purchased it in white and blue, very nice colors. Quality is good, I washed by hand and although it said to dry flat, I did put in the dryer on low and it was fine. Actually would be a nice summer dress worn over a slip dress. Recommend this item."

best mini skirt amazon beach cover-up

Body Glove Lambada Cover Up Skirt

Lambada Cover Up Skirt

A frilly skirt will be so cute with an equally vibrant bikini top. This lil mini also features an elastic waistband for a supportive and comfortable fit. But my favorite part about this cover-up? The fact that you can channel the mini skirt trend and wear it out and about post-beach day.

  • Sizes: XS-XL
  • Colors: 8

Glowing Customer Review: "Love it!! I have several swim skirts and this is my favorite! Note that you have to wear separate bottoms underneath... they aren’t built in. Anyway, I wear this over bikini bottoms with a tankini. As a mom of 4, I appreciate the coverage while at the beach or pool with my kids. This skirt is the perfect length for me... pull it a little higher if you want it shorter...or wear it on your hips for a longer look. Very stretchy. Not see-through...dries quickly. I have machine-washed mine and it held up great. Doesn’t ride up like my other swim skirts."
