Hoodies & Sweatshirts

Perhaps one of the most difficult challenges of the summertime is trying to stay cool when it's sweltering outside. Unless you're indoors getting a blast of A/C, for the most part you're trying to avoid those annoying side effects of hot weather, such as sweaty pits, thigh chafing, and sticky skin. For those outdoorsy gals who can't stand the thought of melting into your clothes, we tracked down 10 trendy casual dresses that'll help you beat the heat while looking chic. Whether you're out at a tiki bar with some friends or taking a stroll in the park, there's no sacrificing style for comfort here with these top picks.

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!
