11 beach cover ups under $30 that we’ll be wearing all summer long

For a boho-inspired look that’s both sexy and sophisticated, you can’t do better than this affordable option from Cupshe. We’re always impressed by their swimsuits and cover ups which look far more expensive than they are–and this one’s no exception. At under $30 dollars all it needs is some jewelry and a cute pair of sandals to take you from beach time to brunch time looking like a million bucks.

Ok, forgive the fact the photo of this makes it look like something Charlie Bucket’s grandpa would wear. I promise you that when it’s on, you could pass for a socialite summering in the French Riviera. It looks absolutely stunning worn open over a white suit and if you want to dress it up for dinner, just add a leather tie belt to give it a little shape and you’re in business.

With over 15K 5-star ratings and 18 different colors and patterns to choose from, this may be the only cover up you need this summer. It’s longer in the back for ample bum coverage with a roll up cuff sleeve that provides just a bit of extra sun protection.

Whether you throw it on over your suit or with jeans and tank, this kimono style cover up elevates every summer look. It comes in over 30 colors and patterns and looks great belted or left to flow in the breeze as you make your entrance.

What can we say? We’re suckers for a good crochet cover up. This highly-rated style features a high-low hem and side drawstrings to adjust the slit height. Throw on a pair of leather sandals and you’re ready for beach bar margs all afternoon.

Loose, soft and lightweight, this versatile kimono is the perfect style to wrap up in poolside. It comes in a ton of different styles and definitely doesn’t have to stay relegated to cover up status. Pair it with your cut offs or even dinner time denim for an instant statement outfit.

The days of slathering ourselves in baby oil and frying in the sun are over, my friends. Sun protection, from daily face sunscreen to UPF clothing–like this sporty cover up dress–is in. The quick dry material and UPF 50+ fabric make it the perfect piece for beach days. It’s also got a hood and pockets which we love for more adventurous excursions like hiking or sneaking in a round of pickle ball (or, more realistically, hitting the playground.) It comes in a dozen different colors to stock up on, too.

From boat days to summer camp drop offs, this casual button down cover up looks perfectly on point. The longer length in the back keeps you covered and can be worn open or buttoned. It also comes in a wide assortment of muted and bright colors to suit every palette style!

TBH, we’re just living for the day our wardrobe consists of 95% caftans and we’re sitting on the lanai, drink in hand surround by three of our besties. We can wait, but in the meantime we’ll add this to cart and start the collection. It gets rave reviews for its ability to pass for something much pricier and the silhouette is just plain stunning. Bonus points for a deep v-neckline that’s totally nursing friendly!

If a touch of sheer modesty is all you’re after, this chic sarong has you covered. Literally. Kind of. It’s simple and versatile with the ability to be worn tied around your waist, over your shoulder or even in a dress style.

And lastly, every mama needs a sarong to toss in her bag! Yes, it’s the perfect cover-up, but can also be used to wrap up cold, tired and sandy kiddos, spread on the sand as a beach blanket, pinch hit as a towel when the rest of your stash is soaked and useless or even make a stylish nursing cover. Look at what a pro you are!
