The weather is getting warmer every day, and let’s face it, the pool and beach are calling our names. In our teenage years and even into our forties, we wore cut-offs, shorts, and/or tees as our swimsuit cover-up of choice. On occasion, we’d embrace the sarong, but always relegated our summer investment pieces to lacy dresses and skirts.
Now is the time to rethink the importance of poolside fashion by way of a fabulous, sexy cover-up. There are more choices than ever, with maxi dresses, caftans, and kimonos everywhere you look. Enjoy the summer poolside activities while appearing cool and chic. An airy, beautiful caftan or cover-up is what we like to refer to as a game-changer. Why wear shorts or sit draped in a towel when there is a beach dress that looks just as beautiful reading oceanside as it does for post-beach cocktails?
Poolside fashion should make you feel and look feminine, not frumpy. Paired with flip flops or flat sandals for day, then dressed up with a small heel and some fun statement jewelry for evening get-togethers.
Since we’ve all learned our lesson about the damage the sun can wreak on our skin, make sure you complete your poolside fashion with a dramatic sun hat. Of course, we have included some favorites for good measure. Now, channel your glamorous inner goddess and let’s shop!
