42 Crazy-Chic Summer Dresses That Double as Swimsuit Cover-Ups, Starting at $40

If there's one thing I covet more than a stylish Summer dress, it's one that can work double duty. Yes, I'm crazy about smart Summer work dresses, affordable wedding guest dresses, and playfully printed dresses to wear everywhere from the office to Sunday brunch. But it's those do-it-all silhouettes I seek out the most for Summer, particularly dresses that can double as a swimsuit cover-up.

Whether you're packing a few vacation outfits centered around Instagrammable dresses or putting together a look for a water-adjacent activity like a beach day, pool party, or sailing adventure, a dress that can function for more than one outfit can really streamline the process. Think about it: when you're trying to save room in your suitcase, ditching single-use items like a swimsuit cover-up makes sense if you can pack two or three dresses that can work over a bikini as well as they do with sandals and a straw bag for sightseeing and dinner. Also, if you're packing a day bag with a change of clothes, it's a heck of a lot easier if the main piece - a chic Summer dress - is already on your body. That way, all you need is a few extra accessories to transition your look between activities. I'm also all about making a swimsuit a part of your outfit, and a Summer dress is the easiest way to do so.

Whether you're obsessed with minidresses, live for a midi dress like me, or can't get enough of maxis, read on for my edit of chic Summer dresses that can double as a swimsuit cover-up, starting at just $40.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
