Womens Beach Cover Ups, Kaftans & Overswim

Explore Beach Cover Up Styles

Beach cover ups come in a range of silhouettes, lengths and designs to suit different swimwear looks. At City Beach, explore crochet cover ups, sheer mesh dresses, relaxed beach shirts, poncho styles and ruched designs.

Crochet beach cover ups feature an open-knit appearance that allows your swimwear to show through. Mesh cover ups offer a lightweight, semi-sheer look, with selected styles available in longer maxi lengths. Shirt-style beach covers provide a different silhouette, with features such as collars, sleeves and button fastenings on selected designs.

Prefer a wrap-style option? Explore women's sarongs for another way to layer over your swimmers. Sarongs can be tied around the waist, while cover up dresses and oversized shirts offer an alternative for covering the upper body.

Crochet, Mesh & Lightweight Beach Cover Ups

The fabric and finish of your overswim can change the look and feel of your outfit. Crochet beach cover ups have a textured, open-knit finish, while mesh styles create a sheer or semi-sheer appearance. Woven shirt-style covers offer another option for a relaxed, layered beach outfit.

Selected City Beach styles feature details such as adjustable straps, ruching, collars and long sleeves. Some designs have stretch fabrics, while others use woven constructions. Check individual product descriptions for the exact material, lining, fit and care instructions.

Mini, Maxi & Relaxed Overswim Fits

Choosing a beach cover up often comes down to your preferred length and how much coverage you want over your swimwear. Mini-length cover up dresses create a shorter silhouette, while maxi styles extend further down the legs.

Relaxed beach shirts and poncho-inspired covers offer alternative shapes to fitted dresses. For a more defined silhouette, look for designs with ruching or adjustable details. Consider the neckline, sleeve length and fabric transparency when comparing styles, as coverage varies between products.

Beach Cover Up Colours, Prints & Designs

Keep your beach outfit simple with plain black or white cover ups, or explore blue, pink, brown and other seasonal colours. The City Beach range also includes selected floral and striped designs.

A plain crochet or mesh cover up can complement patterned swimwear without competing with the print. Alternatively, pair a floral or striped beach cover with a solid-colour bikini for a coordinated summer look.

How to Style Beach Cover Ups Over Swimwear

Beach cover ups are designed to be layered over swimwear, making them a versatile addition to your holiday wardrobe. Wear a crochet or mesh cover up over bikini tops and bikini bottoms for an easy beach-ready outfit.

Cover up dresses and relaxed beach shirts also pair with women's one piece swimwear . Complete your outfit with sandals, a beach bag and sunglasses for poolside lounging, coastal walks or casual resort styling.
