My last post highlighted tips for buying swimsuits according to various body types. I hope that it was helpful in providing a less stressful approach to shopping for a swimsuit. Let’s face it; some of us are a little reluctant (or dare I say self conscious) when it comes to showing our body, so this time around, I decided to feature stylish alternatives to swimsuits.
On vacation, I prefer to wear tunics, caftans, maxi dresses and rompers when I’m not in the pool or sunbathing on the beach. They are perfect for a leisure day of lounging, shopping and/or sightseeing, and can easily go from day to evening. Best of all, if you decide to hit the beach, a tunic, romper or maxi dress can also double as a cute swimsuit cover up!
I am always looking for a good deal, so I decided to focus on options that are priced under $50.00. Bright colors, bold prints and lightweight fabrics were also a must! Here’s what I found:
GB Printed Romper, original price: $54.00, now $32.40 at Dillards.com
Arizona Dolman-Sleeve Tunic Coverup, $18.00 at JC Penney
Old Navy Tie-Waist Tube Maxi Dress in orange print, original price: $29.94, now $27.50
LOFT Shadow Stripe Caftan in turquoise waters, $49.50
Sol & Mer Print Tunic Cover Up in amalfi blue, price: $48.00
