The point of a cover up: to take the near-nudity of a bikini and make it vaguely acceptable to wear in public. The function of Katie Price’s (aka Jordan) “cover up” during a recent trip to Ibiza: somehow making her look more trampy than she would in just a swimsuit. The mind reels.

In the hopes of helping you avoid similar swimsuit cover up fails, we’ve rounded up a few pretty ones that will leave you looking cute but appropriate, not seconds away from humping the next thing that crosses your path.

I’m sort of shocked by the prices on these items that are just meant to be a beach cover-up. Maybe I have been living in a cave, but $86??

@raugiel- the olive green victoria’s secret one is a very reasonable $38, and the other VS one is about $50. you’d be shocked by some of the stuff i found though. a $1,400 Pucci one, for example…

i’m a fan of the cover-up, yes—especially the color. however, the creepy arm-width legs not so much.

(sorry, that was in reference to the aforementioned olive green VS one)

i agree. these prices are quite high for something you’ll probably wear for five to ten minutes. its a little ridiculous. on the other hand, i did find a couple of them cute.
