While flaunting a bikini is all well and good, sometimes the very idea can be daunting. Weeks of hitting the gym, kale smoothies, and lots of chia, all intended to prepare us for the day when we finally reveal our Adriana Lima body. However, despite the efforts, sometimes nature has a way of making us crave burgers and fries and late-night ice cream runs. In order to feel confident at the beach and still enjoy life, it’s good to find a stylish cover-up.
There are multiple different kinds of cover-ups, many intended to mask different parts of the body. If you want to show off well-toned legs, but feel self-conscious about your mid-section, a light sheer dress or robe is an excellent option. If you aren’t so keen on your behind, but feel great about your abs, try a colorful wrap.

Cover-ups aren’t always for keeping conservative. There are plenty of sexy ways to hide your assets but still reveal mostly skin. Look for fishnets, sleeveless styles, and low backs. These are perfect for grabbing when you’re going on a walk, or an ice cream run, and need something extra to cover your body. Just not too much cover.
