Enjoy your favourite beach cover ups, reimagined

Beach cover ups should do more than just cover a swimsuit, they should help you feel comfortable, confident, and ready for wherever the day takes you. At Blue Bungalow, our beach cover up collection goes beyond the classic beach kaftan styles. With a range of options to choose from, you can find lightweight kimonos, relaxed beach cover up dresses, easy sarongs, and more, each designed to blend style with practicality. So, what’s your go-to beach cover up?

Beach kaftans: A signature summer style, our range of beach kaftans offer breathable coverage with a lightweight silhouette that’s perfect for throwing over swimwear. This means you can enjoy modest coverage whilst enjoying the breezy and relaxed feel of the coast.

Kimonos: If you’re looking for an elegant and flowy layer to add over your swimwear, kimonos are the perfect option. With a slightly more tailored touch, kimonos are an open style of cover-up (almost like a lightweight beach dressing gown). This makes the gorgeous style ideal for beachside brunches, afternoon strolls, or anything in between.

Sarongs: As a beach bag essential, sarongs can be worn tied at the waist, draped over the shoulders, or even as a halter-style dress! With a versatility of styles and uses to choose from, they are the perfect beach cover up choice for when you want a quick and flattering outfit change.

From the soft touch of natural fibres to thoughtful design details like generous cuts and flattering lengths, our beautiful range swimwear cover ups are made to move with you; keeping you cool, stylish, and effortlessly dressed from sunrise to sunset.

Beach Cover Ups FAQs

Do beach cover ups help with sun protection?

While not a substitute for sunscreen, beach cover ups made from breathable, tightly woven fabrics like cotton or rayon can provide an extra layer of protection from the sun. If extra sun protection is what you’re after, choosing long sleeves, relaxed fits, and generous lengths can help to shield your skin while keeping you cool and comfortable in the heat.

Why do people wear beach cover-ups?

Beach cover ups are all about convenience, coverage, and feeling confident! They give you something easy to slip on over your swimwear, so you can effortlessly transition between the beach, the café, or a relaxed stroll along the water. Why are they so beloved? Our range of beach cover ups offer added coverage, light layering options, and of course, the stylish finishing touch that will help to complete your summer look.

What material is best for a beach cover up?

When you’re trying to enjoy the summer sun, breathable and lightweight materials are key! At Blue Bungalow, our cotton, linen and silk kaftans are go-to choice for many women - thanks to their soft feel and natural airflow. These fabrics dry quickly, feel cool against the skin, and drape beautifully; making them perfect for hot and sunny days by the water.
