Best swimwear cover ups for women according to redditors

I've ordered a few good ones on Amazon!

This one

And one like This One, but I think the color I got is gone now.

Here are some amazon options that cost ~$20 or less, all of which are made of soft cottony stretchy fabric:

Short sleeved maxi dress

V neck maxi dress

Super pretty, slightly fitted short sleeved midi dress

V-neck midi-length faux wrap dress

Shorter t-shirt dress

Sleeveless t-shirt/tank dress

Also Old Navy is having a clearance sale and they have awesome stretchy dresses.

This Amazon listing has a few similar patterns, but nothing identical. I tried searching “floral handkerchief” with kimono and robe and couldn’t find the exact pattern but a lot of the same style. The closest results I found were by searching “patchwork kimono.”

This one is similar.

There are so many other options though. All of them less than a third of the price, probably about comparable fast-fashion quality, and easily accessible.

I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!

Ohhhh this dress could definitely be fun with same accessories... maybe throw in a garter belt (also, the size is just what the search engine landed on)

Sorry if I’m spamming. I love dressing up goth sluts for display and fun.

Search spaghetti strap beach cover-up and you'll find dozens on Amazon.

Take them off when you’re about to go into the water of needs be.

I just made a simple dress for my costume out of a mustard-green colored fabric. I've seen others pull it off well enough by finding (or altering) oversized plain green shirts, or buying a green dress.

I would assume for plain shirts, you can find them at your local craft store, wal-mart, target, old navy, etc. Amazon would have it also. Actually, here's a link to a dress that I remember floating around back when I was googling hat tutorials.

These are some of the favorites I have ordered:

I’m interested to hear replies on this!

I watched a video that was posted on here a couple weeks ago about how it’s a sin or the bear occasion of sin to go to a public pool or beach. But maybe if TRad women wear appropriate swimwear and decide to go to a public swimming area, we could be an example to other women. :)

ModCloth and Amazon have awesome ‘40s style suits.

Red boy short one piece

Cherry print one piece

High waisted two piece

Black cover up

Cap sleeve bikini

Wine red sweetheart

Black skirt cover up

ModCloth two piece

I wore pool/beach wraps bc they are thin, but still provide coverage. Here’s two I wore just over the Labor Day weekend that got me a lot of compliments.

ADOME Womens V-Neck Swim Cover up... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D755RMT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Ekouaer Beach Cover Women's... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PYFYQ8Z?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Also, thin flowy dresses are good too. Here’s my favorite one, looks cute and is super breathable.

DREAGAL Women Boho Floral Print... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T8SZVLY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I just got this dress on amazon in the blue color and it’s nearly the same color☺️I love it!

I've got a whole assortment of cover-ups, for everything from day beach trip to pool side to resort to cruise. Many of them are Old Navy tank maxi dresses: I buy these every summer, and when they start getting a bit pilled, they become cover-ups to wear on beach trips where we will later change out of our suits and then go to dinner, and the weather has cooled down so I want coverage for my legs.

For resort / pool side wear I have this one --

and this -- size up as it shrinks if you wash in the dryer:

I also have a white midi-length linen-like long sleeve collared shirt I found last year (Macy's Inc brand).

And a hooded SPF long sleeve cover up from Athleta which comes in handy when the weather gets cool, or I have been out too much in the sun.

As well as a long sleeve rash guard from Tommy Bahama which comes in handy for boat trips.

I'm also from the US and my family just got back from our first trip to Italy (we've also been to France & the UK on earlier trips) - here are some random thoughts about Rome/Italy. I'm not an Italian local, and definitely not an expert. But this is what worked for us.

We had an absolutely wonderful time. 99% of the people and places we visited were fabulous and met or exceeded expectations. (One nasty Tourist-Trap-gelato-cashier in Rome is the only reason Italy didn't score a perfect 100% with us).

Apps we ended up using which can be downloaded ahead of time (got these tips from an earlier reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/rome/comments/cam2we/any_recommended_iphone_apps_to_install_before/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x):

• Google Maps App - Download the regions you're visiting in advance. STAR or SAVE locations that you want to see and add them to Google Lists. Then the good stuff shows-up visually on the map. GREAT for finding out what is near you at a glance. OK for reviews (but preferred TripAdvisor)
  
• Google Translate App - Download Italian language in advance
  
• FreeNow App (formerly MyTaxi) - For hailing taxis/cars. This also handles payment. Uber costs 2-3 times as much whenever i checked.
  
• TripAdvisor app for sites and food reviews (TripAdvisor stickers were everywhere at shops and restaurants) -- Reviews were spot-on for everything except for 1 restaurant in positano that didn't deserve its average rating.) Also Flag (Save?) attractions and restaurants in advance -- makes it easy to see whats nearby. I marked all my must-see attractions in both TripAdvisor and google Maps. Book Reservations in advance if you can, some take resrvations through tripadvisor. Ask your hotel front-desk for help if necessary -- they were able to get us into a restaurant that was full when i called.
  
• Yelp app also for sites and food reviews as a backup to TripAdvisor
  
• Rick Steves Audio Europe - Download the tours in advance. The audio can be chatty, but it's a great substitute to a paid-tour from a guide. Inside this app, he breaks down the audio tours into sections.
  
• DuoLingo - Start taking a crash-course in Italian! Try to get a few lessons under the Basics and Phrases category. Locals appreciate your efforts to try your Italian. 80% of the places we visited had english speakers...and we did fine at the places that did not.
  
  Rome was experiencing a heat-wave while we were there (95+ degrees daytime), so we used FreeNow (formerly MyTaxi) app to grab taxi rides in the daytime to get some AC and a break from walking (we did TONS of walking in the museums and outdoor locations). Rides were typically 7-10 euros everywhere we wanted to go (Vatican was more b/c it was farther). I have a family of 4, so the price difference between a taxi vs metro isn't as far apart. I think I read the FreeNow taxi meter starts as soon as you agree to a particular driver for pick-up. This was not a big issue where we were because they were usually only 1-5 minutes away.
  
  If it wasn't so hot, walking to most sites is do-able since many famous locations are in clusters. In evenings when there was more shade, we walked most places.
  
  I was also worried about lines, so we did book a skip-the-line Underground Colosseum/Arena/Upper tour, and also a skip-the-line Vatican/SistineChapel/StPetersBasilica tour. You pay more, but both were worth it in my opinion for a worry-free tour.
  
  Note -- The CityWonders tour we booked for the Colosseum actually used the COOPCULTURE guides while in the colosseum. So you could save a lot of money by buying directly and getting the identical tour for the colosseum portion -- BUT, they were sold out on the dates we needed, so we needed to pick CityWonders to be sure to get the date/time we wanted for our schedule. https://www.coopculture.it/en/colosseo-e-shop.cfm
  
  But don't overbook tours! I like to do no more than 1 per day. You're on vacation -- so you don't want to be always rushing to hit a specific time. Relax...enjoy.... Leave time to explore.
  
  AC - Many museums are NOT air conditioned or only partially air conditioned. So bring a folding fan, wear a hat when in the sun, and stay hydrated!
  
  Churches - There is a "rule" that you must be respectful and cover shoulders & knees (articles say its for men & women). I definitely saw women turned away for not covering their shoulders. The knee-rule was not consistently enforced, I saw a lot of guys in shorts visiting churches. Easy solution -- if your wife likes strapped or strapless tops, just bring a scarf to cover her shoulders while inside. Some churches even had scarfs for unprepared tourists. My wife and daughters packed kimono-style beach cover-ups, and they had no trouble entering every church we wanted to visit. Like this: (they are different sizes, so pick the style and size that will cover your knees) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C9F7CT3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  Water - If its hot, you need water. There are LOTS of free flowing water fountains around Rome sites. Our tour guide said they are safe to drink, and you'll see many locals and tourists filling up. So plan to bring a container for water. (update - I learned they are called Nasone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasone) And if you want an extra level of protection, order one of those Lifestraw filtered drinking bottles. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G7SQBPQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
  
  About Cash -- Cash is more necessary in Rome than the US in my opinion. So find out what ATM system works with your bank in advance, and just plan to get some money that way. (ex: Bank of America uses BNL ATMs in Italy which were easy to find).
  
  Two things to be aware of, but should not affect your trip...
  
  About Trash - NPR ran a story about Rome having a trash problems. We didn't see any trash problems while we were there. No bad smells or crisis that I could see. IMHO, it's similar to what you find in Washington DC or NYC. (https://www.npr.org/2019/07/18/742218800/in-rome-uncollected-trash-festers-in-scorching-heat)
  
  Terrorism - My wife noticed italy is at a Level 2 terrorist threat (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/italy-travel-advisory.html). And we saw (hired?) soldiers everywhere with semi-automatic weapons. It's noticeable the first time you see them, but then it just disappears into the background. We never felt unsafe. Just use the same caution you'd apply to any major tourist city and you'll be fine.
  
  Have a wonderful trip!
  
  Updates - fixed some grammar (brain is jet-lagged), and added more links.

I've seen a lot of people buy the kimono he's wearing- I've found that these look a lot like it: https://www.forever21.com/us/shop/Catalog/Product/f21/outerwear_blazers/2000253609

As for the pants, I'm not completely sure.. Good luck finding what you're looking for!

I ordered it on amazon http://www.amazon.com/LA-Ladies-T-Shirt-Dress-Lime/dp/B00BBW7T6E :)
