One of the best things about swimwear is the variety of options you have to choose from for any occasion. If you’re heading to Vegas for the weekend, a show-stopping two piece swimsuit is necessary. A cruise to the Caribbean? A one-piece suit might be best for the islands. And if you’re at a resort in Hawaii you’ll need the perfect cover-up for the luau’s at night. But if you’re on vacation and just need a little something extra to cover your bum when walking along the beach or around the pool, a full on cover-up might not be what you need.

Actress (sometimes singer) Gwyneth Paltrow was recently spotted wearing a creative version of the normal cover-up. Instead of a dress or wrap around, the mother of two wore shorts to enjoy a day on the beach. A pair of shorts is an easy solution to have in order to make your beach day simple and laid back. What’s even better about shorts for the beach? They are making them in similar, beach ready fabrics as swimsuits. A great option to have when heading to pool parties this summer, are Maaji shorts.

These shorts are a fun alternative to the traditional cover-up and provide adequate coverage with the durability of a swimsuit. We love the Floral Metric Print shorts that have a geometric pattern, drawstring ties, and pocket illusion. They provide full coverage in the rear and look adorable with the Silver Pixieland also by Maaji Swimwear!
