These Are the Pants You Should Wear Over Your Swimsuits

by Bianca Nieves

When you think of beach cover-ups, you might automatically think about flowy dresses, cutoff denim shorts, or oversize button-downs. However, beach pants should be on your radar as well. Not only are they extremely comfortable, but with their added coverage, they can also live far from the beach if styled correctly.

Whether you're going to a casual dinner with friends after your day on the sand or want to fight off those UV rays while relaxing by the poolside, beach pants are the answer. Especially if they're easy slip-on silhouettes in breathable fabrics such as linen, cotton, or light knits.

Now before summer is over, opt for these cover-ups that will go with all your one- and two-piece swimsuits.
