In mid-July, swimsuit season is far from over. And now that you might finally have a bit of a tan, it’s time to celebrate by showing off a little skin (SPF still required, of course). Enter the swimsuit plus cover-up combo. It’s an effortlessly easy duo to master, and more importantly, totally timeless. When it comes to crafting the ultimate resort-ready look, there’s one to fit every summertime aesthetic—think Agua by Agua Bendita’s flirty floral one-piece with Calle Del Mar’s crochet mini or Lido’s minimalist maillot with Tory Burch’s printed pareo.

While classics, a sarong or breezy button-up aren’t the only cover-ups to invest in this summer. Poolside pants are always a festive pick. Style a pair of colorful drawstring pants from Emporio Sirenuse with a little-black-bikini from Matteau. Meanwhile, a kaftan is never not a chic choice. A floral option from Dries Van Noten brings luxury to lounging. The Italians—Pucci and Missoni—specialize in beachwear of course, and have plenty of non-traditional options on offer.

Back to swimwear: While the options are endless, there’s nothing quite as timeless as a beautiful black swimsuit. We love J.Crew’s sculpting Lana one piece, which pairs perfectly with a monochrome wrap from Toteme. On the opposite side of the spectrum, spirited suits and sets from Gucci, Zara, Dolce, and Loewe.

Here, shop 32 combos of swimsuits and cover-ups to wear all summer long.
