Vacation Wear Turks and Caicos

The Must Have – Cover Up

After you’ve spent the morning in the water or reading on the soft sand, you may be ready for a bite to eat. And while it’s not something to quench your thirst or feed your appetite, the beach cover up is a garment that allows you to move graciously from beach to board in style. When you’re packing for that Turks and Caicos vacation, you’ll want to include items to put over top your swimsuits. There are all kinds of options that are both stylish and comfortable.

The Shirt Dress

The Turks and Caicos is a warm sultry setting, so you want clothing that is light and breathable. A shirt dress is one answer. Styled after the man’s shirt, the t-shirt dress is usually made of cotton or silk and features a collar or cuffs. It is loose fitting but can be styled with a belt for something a little more fitted.

The Tunic
A tunic is another great option. It can be made of a knit fabric to give you a relaxed draped look or a more crisp cotton for a slightly tailored look. Some tunics feature short sleeves; other sport a longer sleeve for more sun protection.

Loose Dress
A simple blousy style dress is a perfect look and will easily take you from the sand to the street. It might feature spaghetti straps over the shoulder or simple short sleeves. Go for a relaxed look with a hippie style blouse that you can slip easily over your head.

The Sarong
Once you learn how to style it, a sarong is an attractive choice. This garment originates from southeastern Asia and involves a length of fabric that is wrapped around the body. There are many ways to wear a sarong including over the shoulder wrap, as a skirt and various dress styles each giving you a completely different look.
