Plissiertes Strandkleid Cover-Up

The reverse pleats catch the light beautifully when you walk, and the high neck keeps it from feeling like a throwaway cover-up. Belt it snug and it reads more like a real dress than a beach topper. Already worn it three times this week.

The button-down bodice makes it so easy to slip on over a wet swimsuit, and that fixed belt actually cinches at the waist instead of slipping around like most cover-ups. I wore it to brunch right off the sand and felt pulled together, not just wrapped in fabric.

The reverse pleats give it this flowy, elegant shape that photographs beautifully, and the high neck keeps it from feeling too casual at a beachside lunch. I wore it over my swimsuit with the belt tightened and got compliments from three strangers. It’s become my go-to cover up for the whole summer.
