We are deep into summer, and when I am at home in Charleston, I am in my pool every single day! Sometimes it’s a quick dip after the gym, and other times it’s a little post-work swim. Or my personal favorite: a lazy al fresco Saturday with a pile of books, iced coffee, maybe some tunes. It is just the greatest. Putting in my little pool was one of the best things I’ve done, and I always appreciate it!
Today, I’m rounding up my favorite swimsuits and cover-ups! This Missoni coverup was a splurge, but wow, is it special. I’m also experimenting with other ways to wear it. I love how Julia styled hers with pants and think it will layer nicely over a slip dress or skirt. Below you will find twelve great swimsuits and twelve great coverups. A few key standouts are my favorite subtle sculpting swimsuit (use GRACE20), this sexy (but still comfortable and flattering) swimsuit (use GRACE15), the cutest terry skirt, and the best oversized shirt.
