Sarong
This stylish beachwear is one of the most popular forms of beach cover-ups today, and for multiple reasons. The sarong does a great job of flattering your body while also giving you a more elegant profile. Due to its adaptability and utility, it can be used in a number of different ways, making it a beach must-have.
To complete your summery outfit, you just need one thing. Since it can be worn in so many different ways (for example, as a skirt, a wrap-style dress, or even a shawl or scarf), it allows you to expand your wardrobe without breaking the bank.
If you want to make a fashion statement opt for a fun colored sarong with special patterns that compliment your swimwear.
There are also multiple ways to wear it. Simply fold it diagonally in half, wrap it around your waist, collect the two ends, and tie a knot on the side to wear it as a short skirt. Wrap the sarong horizontally around your waist, squeeze both corners, tie a knot, and twist it to one side of your hip to reveal a bit of leg as you walk.

Tunics with side vents, a slightly tapered waist, and a wide neck opening flatter the hips and thighs well for pear-shaped ladies. Consider wearing large earrings and a necklace that brings attention to your upper body to balance off your lower half.
Choose a gorgeous V-neck tunic that draws attention to your neck and face if you are apple-shaped. Make sure your tunic isn't too clinging or too loose for individuals with a big body so you can show off your collarbone and wrists.

The sundress is one of the most popular beach cover-ups available, especially if you enjoy dressing up a little at the beach. A sundress is a go-to summer outfit for anyone, and it can vary in length, it may be short, long, strapless, or any other length you like!
Sundresses are fantastic since they are cool, fresh, and easy to throw on and take off over a swimsuit. There are so many patterns to fit every body type that you will have no trouble finding an item that is suitable for you this summer.
Choose an A-line dress for a universally flattering silhouette. It is a well-balanced shape that creates a flattering and forgiving silhouette for all body types, from petite to an hourglass figure, and everything in between.
Consider a wrap sundress if you're looking for a traditional style that's a little looser than an A-line. The wrap draws attention to your contours, while the tie waist gives the appearance of a smaller waist.
Choose a boxy shift dress if you don't want anything to cling to your body. This figure-flattering sundress doesn't draw attention to anyone's features, giving you a balanced profile (and the ideal breezy bathing suit cover-up).
