Three Ways to Wear a Girls' Swimsuit Cover-Up
A girls' swimsuit cover-up isn’t just for drying off—it’s a go-to layer for sun protection, casual outings, and making every beach day even more effortless. Here are a few ways she can wear hers:
1. The Classic Throw-On
Nothing beats the ease of slipping into a girls' beach cover-up straight from the water. Whether it’s a terry cloth hoodie or a breezy tunic, this quick-change option keeps her comfortable without slowing her down.
2. The Boardwalk-Ready Look
Heading for ice cream or a walk along the shore? A girls' bathing suit cover-up paired with sandals and a sun hat turns swimwear into a casual, put-together outfit—perfect for those moments when she wants to feel a little extra stylish.
3. The Sun-Smart Layer
Even the most sun-loving kids need a break from the rays. Lightweight, UPF-rated kids' beach cover-ups offer added protection, making them ideal for long days at the pool or beach when reapplying sunscreen isn’t always top of mind.

If you'd like to learn more about our selection of girls' swimsuit cover-ups, please refer to our most frequently asked questions down below!
How do I choose the right size for a girls' swimsuit cover-up?
Go for a slightly relaxed fit to ensure easy layering over swimwear. Many styles are designed to be pull-on friendly, so a bit of extra room allows for quick changes without feeling too oversized. Checking the size chart and reading reviews for fit recommendations can help, too.
Are there cover-ups that offer sun protection?
Yes! Some girls' swimsuit cover-ups are made with UPF 50-rated fabric, offering an extra layer of defense against UV rays. These are especially useful for long days at the beach or pool when constant sunscreen reapplication isn’t practical.
What features should I look for in a kids' beach cover-up?
Look for practical details that fit your child’s routine. Hooded designs offer extra warmth, zip-ups make dressing easy, and pockets give them a handy place to stash small treasures. If they spend long hours in the sun, a UPF-rated fabric is a smart addition.
