Spring Break Style: Unconventional cover-ups

Ashlee Hammer

Traditionally, cover-ups are lacy, free-flowing and typically found right next to the swimsuits. However, unconventional covers-ups can be found in one’s personal closet. These allow one to be comfortable, yet fashionable to and from the beach.

1. Denim shirt: An oversized denim shirt is a more bohemian take on the traditional cover-up. It can be worn buttoned halfway, giving shape to the garment or can be completely undone and worn as an accessory to a swimsuit. Pair it with oversized circle sunglasses to complete the look.

2. Jersey: This is a perfect way to show school spirit and be stylish at the same time. A graphic jersey that is slightly oversized is great beachwear. To add to the sport lux look, add a contrasting colored fanny pack around the waist.

3. Overalls: Everyone loves overalls and they can be packed very easily. This trend comes in various forms and can be worn as pants, shorts or a dress, depending on your style. To rock this trend, wear a patterned or brightly-colored, strapless swimsuit underneath.

4. Poncho: A more traditional version from the list is a poncho. Add texture to beachwear with a fringe, embellished or crotchet knit poncho. This is another great and easy bohemian style. It will add fun to an outfit and give a it an unconventional look.

5. Harem pants: Harem pants are a more dressed-up take on the typical sweatpants. To give it a more edgy look, pair it with a pleather black swimsuit top. The contrasting textures will make stylish beachwear. Pair it with oversized sunglasses to complete the look.
