Do You Want to Be Absolutely Cool in the Sun?

When it’s hot outside, what could be cooler than the beach or the pool?  I have rounded up some cool looks for you when you visit the water.  Age doesn’t matter.  There’s something here for everyone!  If you want to be absolutely cool in the sun, you’ll want to go to the pool, the beach, the lake, the ocean, or a resort.  So when you’re getting ready for fun in the sun, you can use this as a guide in deciding what to wear.

Tip: Ideas for Swimsuit Coverups

There are a variety of things to cover up your swimsuit. Besides shorts or a store-bought coverup, you have other options. Some of them are:  a kimono, a ruana, a kaftan, a crochet dress or other loose dress.

Fun in the Sun:  Poolside, Lakeside or Oceanside

1. A caftan as a cover up.
2. A t-shirt maxi-dress as a cover up.
3. Use an Indian sari over a bathing suit:  tied around waist as a skirt or tied at bosom as a dress.
4. A long skirt over a one-piece swimsuit.
5. A tunic dress over a swimsuit.

   

6. Use a bra-top dress apres swim.  Add wedge sandals + a delicate necklace.
7. With your bikini, wear a short gold chain. To complete your look, add a sarong, a bangle and a hat.
8. A bikini + shorts + a button-up shirt open as a jacket.
9. A bikini + a tank top the same color as the bikini + jean shorts.
10. A tank top + cotton/jersey shorts.  May add a gold bangle or open cutwork bracelet.
11. A leopard bikini + ivory shorts + a yellow t-shirt.  Add a thin gold chain necklace.
12. A one-piece maillot + low-riders.
13. A bikini + jean shorts + a shirt worn as a jacket and used as a swimsuit coverup.
14. Bermuda shorts + a tie-dye top over a swimsuit. Add sport sandals + sunglasses.

Fun in the Sun:  At the Beach  

1. A tank top + a big scarf tied over your bathing suit as a sarong.  Add flat sandals.  Take a solid-color cardigan if it will be cool.
2. A bra-top + a vest open over it + shorts.  Add an ankle bracelet.
3. A tank top over a lightweight maxi skirt.  Add sandals.  May add a straw hat, sunglasses.

Fun in the Sun:  Beach-side Cocktails or Lunch

1. A blouse + a matching sarong belted by canvas, scarf, rope, etc.  Add a straw bag + sandals.
2. A crinkled maxi-skirt, embellished or not, over your bathing suit.
3. A t-shirt to match a sarong tied over your bathing suit.  Add sandals.

Fun in the Sun:  at a Pool Party

1. A bathing suit + a crochet maxi-skirt.
2. A caftan is a special look for a pool party.
3. A colorful one-piece bathing suit + shorts in a bright color.  Add espadrille wedges + rhinestone-studded earrings + a straw bag.

Fun in the Sun:  at the Resort

The dress above also comes in black.  I have found a casual little black dress to be handy on my travels.  It goes from day to evening, and can be comfortably worn just about anywhere (as the name of the dress above; lol!)

A kimono is also a handy item on your travels.  You can dress up a comfy basic outfit of jeans and a tee or shorts or whatever.  Or you can use it as an evening wrap.  And then it comes in handy as a bathing suit cover up as well.

For resort evening events, wear a t-shirt with a matching bottom in pale dove gray, pale pink or white.  Add metallic accessories.

Outfit Ideas for the Resort:

1. A kimono or tunic as a bathing suit coverup.
2. A crochet top + matching tank or camisole + neutral pants.
3. A breezy top or tee + linen pants or skirt.  Add sandals + a straw hat.
4. Beige skirt + beige bare t-shirt + pale pink cardigan.  Add natural canvas sandals.
5. A long tunic-length shirt, in a lightweight material such as cotton or linen, as a swimsuit coverup.  You might like to add a long pendant + a narrow bangle.
6. A tunic-length tank top or t-shirt over a matching color drawstring skirt.  Layer a short gold medallion + a longer gold chain + another long chain with medallions, charms or beads.  Add a few gold cuffs/bangles on each wrist.  Carry a straw bag.
