The sarongs of 2016: 8 one-piece bathing suit cover-ups

Remember when sarongs were the de rigeur bathing suit cover-ups? Fortunately, women today have many more options when it comes to grabbing a garment for the pool. Paste BN’s Carly Mallenbaum offers eight pieces that can be easily thrown in a beach bag or atop a bikini.

Overalls

Want to show a bit of skin, but not look too sexy? Overalls — whether denim or in a soft print — provide the perfect amount of coverage.

Long hoodie

When it gets breezy on the beach, it’s nice to have a hoodie in tow. Bring an extra long one and you can skip carrying shorts.

Tuxedo shirt

Tuxedo shirts are great for work meetings, but also the pool. Wear one atop a one-piece for a preppy-chic ensemble.

Kimono

The kimono is having a moment. Pair a bright, printed one with any style of swimsuit to make your look pop.

Romper

A romper can take you from beach day to summer night. All you have to change is your undergarments.

Tunic

Don't know what to wear to a pool party? When in doubt, a black dress is a great outfit option — especially a tunic with a flirty back.

Cutout dress 

When you’re wearing a bathing suit, you don’t have to worry about exposed bras or underwear. That gives you freedom to wear a cutout dress you might otherwise not have the undergarments for!

Onesie

What’s better than wearing a onesie to bed? Wearing a short version to the pool, of course! There aren’t many cozier ways to dry off.
