When it comes to finding the right options for covering up by the pool or taking your look into the evening, there are more choices than ever before to add to your holiday wardrobe. Kaftans, dresses, playsuits and co-ords are all flattering and lightweight additions to your summer suitcase, that can be styled over your swimwear for a quick outfit transition.

Cover ups are a chance to take your look from pool to bar or beach to restaurant simply and stylishly, and at some resorts they are a must if you wish to use their indoor facilities. A cover up should make you feel great, show off your personal style and offer a little more coverage for those times you need and want it. Wether you’re pool side in Ibiza, walking barefoot on a Maldivian beach or exploring the white cliffs of Santorini, there’s a style for every holiday and every look.

While planning my Summer getaways, I’ve spent hours online looking at some of my favourite brands and websites to find a few new pieces to shoot for the blog, including this intricate Melissa Odabash Maxi Dress I styled over a monochrome Agent Provocateur swimsuit. Whilst browsing, I decided to collate my top picks here for you in one dedicated post, so if you’re on the hunt for the perfect cover up too, your search might not last as long as mine did.

Happy Holidays!
