Women's Plus Size Apparel

Summer is so close we can practically smell the sunscreen. We're already snatching up swimsuits for swimming at the pool and boating on the lake, and beach bags for carrying our beach day necessities. And that got us thinking about the rest of our waterside ensemble to pull the whole look together: a beach cover-up!

Crochet, kimono, wide-leg pants, or wrapped sarongs, we gathered up 12 beach cover-ups in an array of styles that will look amazing on and off the shore. Scroll down for the winning pieces we pulled and how to wear them with or without a swimsuit!

Consider me an intimates expert. I've researched the best bras for small busts and fuller busts, stick-on bras, and plus size, with each category leading to hours of scrolling (I'm honestly surprised I don't have carpal tunnel) to find you ladies, and myself, the most comfortable and chic bras money can buy.

Now not to knock the beloved bra, but there's a thinner, stretchier, softer sister you won't want to rip off the second you get home. The best bralettes, like bras, give support and style, but are far better at multitasking. They can be layered under tanks, lounged around in, and can fit your curves like a second skin. Take a look below at the 11 best bralettes I found for hanging out, intimate occasions, or even worn alone without any discomfort or stabbing wires.
