14 Bathing Suit Cover-Ups You Already Own

Heading to the pool, beach, park, or even your balcony sometime soon? While you've likely got a cool swimsuit situation figured out, there's one more piece of the puzzle to nail a complete swimwear look: a bathing suit cover-up. In the past, you might not have put too much thought into what you've thrown on over your swimsuit, but all it takes is a bit of inspiration to help you pick out the perfect cover-up for your look.

Bathing suit season doesn't necessarily require breaking the bank, either. If you take a closer look at some of your summer staples, you'll realize that the cool bathing suit cover-ups you're searching for might be sitting right in your closet. Keep reading for 14 staples you probably already own and how you can incorporate them into some pretty amazing poolside ensembles. Of course, if you're still inclined to shop while you're at it, we've got you covered there, too.

Crochet is synonymous with summer, so really any open-weave piece will work.
Wear your shirtdress partially unbuttoned for an easy cover-up that goes from day to night, too. 
A large scarf can double as a stylish (and classic) pareo. The version above serves as the perfect example of how it should be tied.
What better place to wear your favorite loose-fitting, optionally whimsical shorts than under the sun? Don't be afraid to mix and match the print with your bikini.
Drawstring or tie-waist pants are a perfectly easy, breezy option for a stylish, resort-inspired look.
Going out for an early morning surf or sunset swim? Throw a hoodie over your bathing suit for a laid-back look. 
A kimono works perfectly as a cover-up because it's inherently lightweight and doesn't have any buttons to fuss with. 
High-waisted denim shorts are great for wearing as a cover-up. Plus, if you add a T-shirt and sandals, you can go beyond the beach and not look half-dressed.
Midi skirts—especially less fitted styles—make great beach cover-ups that you can easily slip on and off.
Whether you opt for a classic style or trendier iteration, a breezy, button-down shirt that's easy to put on and take off will serve you so well this summer.
Jumpsuits, rompers, and overalls are inherently on the more casual side. Plus, since they serve as a top and bottom, that's one less piece of clothing you have a chance of accidentally leaving behind at the pool.
I can't be the only one who's accumulated more of these than they'd like to admit over the past year. The good news is they're not just for wearing with jeans—they look very cool over a swimsuit.
A strapless dress won't weigh you down in the heat and will look summer-appropriate. Word to the wise: Be sure to pick low-maintenance fabrics such as jersey or cotton. 
A tunic goes great with denim shorts, or if it's long enough, feel free to wear it as a dress.

Up next, summer's biggest swimwear trends on a budget.

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...
