ALL IN THE DETAILS: Cover-Ups 101

Our final papers are in. Our exams have come and gone. Summer break has officially begun. Now, let’s all act like it. Maybe you are still a little numb post finals. I get that, but there’s no need to fret. I am here to help you remember your favorite summer essentials. There are several necessities to rocking a great summer out by the pool. I spotted this Fashionista in the perfect summer cover-up. There’s definitely an art to something so simple, and she has mastered it.

Swimsuits are more than just something you wear to lounge around by the pool. They have become equally as important as your entire summer wardrobe over the years. The best part is that there is no set style. Everyone is wearing something different, even within a college crowd. There are the one-pieces, the Triangl suits, the ’90s-inspired looks and, of course, the fringe. I spotted all of these at my local apartment pool this week as well as this particular Fashionista. Her swimsuit was covered in a busy pattern that played off nicely with her solid cover-up. Just because you are going to shed the cover-up right after you get there doesn’t mean you can’t make an outfit of it.

How To: Grab your favorite swimsuit, and pair it up with your desired cover-up. Throw on summer sandals and aviator shades for the perfect summer look. If the rays are a little too bright, grab a floppy hat to shade your face. Don’t forget your beach bag and towel before you head out to lounge pool side.
