What Cute Coverup You Should Wear With Your Spring Break Swimsuit

Libby MacCarthy
Mar 18, 2016

Scoring a killer swimsuit for spring break and beyond is essential to your warm-weather wardrobe — you know that — but there’s another detail you might be overlooking: a standout cover-up. Transit to the beach or pool requires an outer layer that’s just as chic as the bikini or one-piece stunner you’re rockin’ underneath. And if that coverup is cool enough to double as an after-hours getup or everyday layering piece, all the better (more room in your suitcase for souvenirs or a few new pairs of spring break shoes and sandals). From technicolor rompers to effortless jumpsuits and beach babe shirt dresses, here are six ways to cover up in style this spring break (and all summer long).

1. Express Macrame Back Bralette Top ($40) and Bottom ($35) + Mara Hoffman Wrap Top Romper ($229): What better way to blast away those end-of-winter blues than with a romper soaked in vivid hues? Wrap detailing and a plunge neckline read Grecian goddess, partnering perfectly with the macrame accents on this jewel-tone suit. Make the transition from the beach to bar scene effortless with lace-up heeled booties and statement drop earrings.

2. Out from Under Plunging V Printed One-Piece Swimsuit ($72) + ASOS Stripe Rope Belted Beach Shirt Dress ($48): Bring outfit balance to the beach by pairing up a flowery plunge-neck suit with a striped shirt dress that feels fit for the French Riviera. Complete the look with an embellished straw bag, metallic Birks and a floppy hat for instant #OOTD gold.

3. Boys & Arrows Deb the Desperado Top ($106) and Shifty Sherman Pant ($110) + Nasty Gal Look Right Through Crochet Cover-Up ($68): When soaking up the sun is the only thing on your to-do list, bust out this coy crochet number. Toss it over your most show-stopping suit (like this sassy watercolor style) to light up your look with a pop of bright color. Undone waves and shades are obligatory.

4. Victoria’s Secret Strappy Flirt Bandeau ($41) and Cheeky ($28) + Loft Beach Ikat Strapless Jumpsuit ($80): Getting your getaway getup right is simply a matter of mixing French girl stripes and a one-and-done Ikat jumpsuit that epitomizes classy and chic. When the sun sets, rock it with a sleek choker necklace and red hot lipstick for sippin’ margaritas with your toes in the sand.

5. Maaji Patchwork Long-Line Top ($74) and Bottoms ($65) + Forever21 Tie-Dye Romper ($16): Whether you’re hitting up the main stage to catch your favorite band or chilling by the pool, this tie-dye romper will see you through. For a bit of cool contrast, layer it over a color block bustier two-piece with a hint of retro flair.

6. Mod Cloth High Dive Ya Swim Some, Ya Cruise Some Top ($50) and Bottom ($40) + J.Crew Lightweight Linen Tunic ($85): Bring your prepster style poolside with a high-waisted suit and sweet gingham tunic that looks fly with cat eye sunglasses and messy crown braids.

10 Trendy Tankini Swimsuits To Hit The Beach In Throwback Style

Swimwear style is making waves recently, pushing the limits beyond a traditional one piece or bikini set. Today, boyshort-style bottoms or even bikini tops with sleeves are becoming more common! As we all know, fashion trends tend to come back around every few years, and I would like to draw your attention to our old friend, the tankini.

These 10 tankinis are perfect for providing your poolside look with more coverage, but also lend a very trendy vibe. Scroll on to shop my favorite pieces!

Lime Ricki

Lime Ricki Breezy Floral Knotted Crop Top

This floral tankini top is to die for! It comes with a built-in bra, so you can wear this even if you decide to take a jog on the beach. This $85 style is one of the most popular Lime Ricki bathing suit tops, with a whopping 183 5-star reviews.

Gottex

Gottex Belle Curve V-Neck Halter Tankini Top

This $68 (was $104) tankini is so chic and has the perfect amount of European flair. I love the ruffled bottom detail and halter straps that give it a tenniscore vibe. Pairing this tankini with navy or white bottoms will complete the set seamlessly. This bathing suit is perfect for a day out on the boat!

Blue Rod Beattie

Blue Rod Beattie Break The Mold Tankini Top

I am deeply obsessed with this funky pattern. Blue Rod Beattie simply created the perfect tankini if you wanna get a little crazy and colorful this summer. I gotta note that this $91 tankini top runs on the longer side, so if you have a long torso, this may be the top for you!

lime ricki

Lime Ricki Clover One-Shoulder Tankini Top

A one-shoulder moment? Yes please! This tankini top comes in a vibrant clover green color with sewn-in bra pads. The adjustable tie straps make this top perfectly adjustable for any size. You can find it in sizes XS-4X. Green matches any complexion and can go with any style or color of swim bottoms. Keep it simple with a solid bottoms or spice things up with a fun pattern!

The Lime Ricki Clover One-Shoulder Tankini Top is currently on sale for $55 (was $73).

Tommy Bahama

Tommy Bahama Island Cays Shell Beach Reversible Halter Tankini Top

This pattern is begging to be on a beach in the Caribbean. Tommy Bahama knows how to do swimwear right, with this swimmie boasting a wrinkle-free and UV protective material. As if this $138 pattern could not get any better, the top is reversible. And HELLO??? the pom pom-lined neckline is such a fun addition!

Blue Rod Beattie

Blue Rod Beattie Color Field V-Neck Tankini Top

Another funky pattern for the win! This $91 tankini top would look so good with black bottoms, or any bottoms of the colors featured in the pattern. The gold ring detailing in the straps would look perfect with some shiny gold earrings, too!

Tommy Bahama

Tommy Bahama Palm Modern Halter Tankini Top

Timeless. Simply. Classy. This $80 tankini top can go with literally any pair of bottoms. This piece is made to highlight all your natural curves and can be adjusted to fit any chest size. Finally, this top is made from recycled fabric, and just like the other Tommy Bahama tankini I feature, it's made from a helpful UV protective fabric.

Trina Turk

Trina Turk Solstice Banded Strapless Tankini Swim Top

If you love a little two-in-one moment, this tankini was totally made for you. This banded top comes with adjustable, removable straps. So, whether you are feeling more of a bandeau-style top or aren't a fan of tan lines, you can just take off the spaghetti straps. Trina Turk tends to run small, so be sure to size up with this $90 pick!

Trina Turk

Trina Turk Hula Off The Shoulder Tankini Swim Top

I am so drawn to this $128 off-the-shoulder tankini. The ruffles add a fun vibe, even if this top is just black and white. It's also perfect if you're looking for more chest coverage from a swimsuit. You don't even need a cover-up – just throw on a pair of linen pants, and you have yourself a complete summer outfit.

Gottex Swimwear

Gottex Dandy V-Neck Halter Tankini Top

This $59 (was $108) tankini is so coquette. The bow details on the front are enough to sell me on it! This top is fairly simple, but the pop of color that really spices things up. The v-shaped neckline is also flattering for any chest size. The top fits true to size for finding your perfect fit!

Costco Just Stocked This Starbucks Fave — For Only $2 A Bottle!

Costco just restocked a very famous Starbucks drink, so if you’re a big fan of their Refreshers, you’re going to want to make a beeline to your nearest store ASAP.

Scroll on for all the details about shopping the Starbucks Pink Drink at Costco!

Costco

That’s right – Costco just added the bottled version of Starbucks’ Pink Drink to their shelves! This ready-to-drink version has the same “fruity and refreshing” effect you’d expect from the cafe favorite, as it’s made with the chain’s Strawberry Acai Refresher base and accented with coconut milk.

Costco

Each 8-ounce bottle is dairy-free, vegan, and has only 90 calories. The pack Costco is selling comes complete with 12 bottles, so you can easily stock your fridge with a fun little sip.

Starbucks

Costco fan account @costcobuys shared the newly-restocked Pink Drink with their Instagram followers and highlighted that their Costco location had the item listed for $16.99.

However, Costco’s website lists the 12-pack for $19.99, so the exact price may vary based on where you live.

Starbucks

Regardless, that puts each bottle of the Starbucks drink at around $2 each, which is significantly less money than what you’d spend for a freshly-made bev at a Starbucks location.

The Starbucks Pink Drink typically goes for around $5, plus tax. If you want to save on your Starbies habit, this new Costco find is a must!

Costco

Costco also carries many more Starbucks items in bulk like instant coffee, whole coffee beans, Nespresso pods, and even hot cocoa mix.

Gisele Bündchen Had A Baby Boy — & We Finally Have A Hint About His Name!

Gisele Bündchen is officially a mom of three! The supermodel gave birth to the newest member of her family (and her first baby with BF Joaquim Valente) "recently," according to TMZ, who first reported the birth. I love any and all baby news, so I couldn't help myself from digging for details when I first saw the report!

Here's everything we know about Gisele Bündchen's new baby with Joaquim Valente, her first since split from Tom Brady.

Joaquim Valente and Gisele Bündchen's baby is here!

Gisele Bündchen shares two kids with ex-husband Tom Brady, a 15-year-old son named Benjamin Rein and 12-year-old daughter Vivian Lake. According to TMZ, while we haven't gotten an official birthday yet, the baby was born recently, and "mom and the baby are healthy." That's the best news yet!

Gisele and Joaquim were also waiting until giving birth to find out the baby's gender, and a source tells People the couple welcomed a baby boy. Stay tuned from an official announcement from the couple — if they choose to share, of course. The source also reveals the baby's middle name is River, which continues the tradition of Gisele choosing water-related middle names for her kids!

"Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they're looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family," a source told People in the fall of 2024.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Gisele Bündchen (@gisele)

Just a week ago, Gisele was active on Instagram, posting a video compilation that's set to Nate Broskii's "Memories Don't Fade Away" and features multiple clips, including a gorgeous beach sunset. "Happiness is an inside job," she says in the caption. "Remember, you are the only one who has the power to create the life you want to live."

We can't wait to see how Gisele's next chapter unfolds! Because if there's anyone who can inspire us to create our dream life, it's her.

Congratulations to Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente on their new baby! Check out the latest news on Lily Collins and Charlie McDowell's new baby while you're at it.
