When you’ve got a fabulous luxury swimsuit to wear to a pool party, why would you want to cover it up? There are a variety of reasons why you might want to – not the least of which is if you’ve got a great cover-up to do so! Whatever your style and the party may dictate, we’ve got a poolside cover-up for you:

Elegant
Step out of the water and into a little black dress! Specifically, we recommend the Little Black Dress from Betsey Johnson’s Ladies and Gentlemen collection. This strapless little number comes with a black velvety brush design from the bustline to the bottom. And its versatile design means you can wear it at non-pool parties, as well!

Casual
Want to just toss on a cover-up to protect you from the sun and wind? Something that looks great by itself, but you can also pull on a pair of jeans to go with it? The Black Embroidered Tunic from Badgley Mischka is just such a piece! The soft, light fabric is fun and casual for lounging with friends and enjoying tropical sun and drinks!
Fun
If you’re looking for 100% pure fun, the Morning Garden Shorts from OndadeMar Vintage fit the bill! Soft, sheer floral fabric with glitter details, bead fringe on the bottom, and something else: drawstrings on the sides so that you can decide exactly how much you want to “cover” up! These flirty shorts are just the thing for a pool party where you’re hoping to catch the eye of a certain someone!
Check out some other cover-ups for pool parties and beyond. And don’t forget to complete your pool party ensemble with earrings!

We have a few gorgeous pairs of earrings in mind! If you were wearing a colorful swimsuit such as the Bendita Truffa, you could pair it with the Mariposa earrings. These little green butterflies look just darling with this suit, and are just enough color to hold their own without clashing. And we just love the dangling hearts!
Or make a statement with gold Cathedral earrings. These delicate earrings are lightweight so that you can wear them for the whole party without feeling a pull. They'd be ...
