I went on the hunt for a new cover-up after living in Cape Cod, and then in Brazil. I can't have enough cover-ups to wear when I'm hanging out at the beach every day, and they inspire me to choose a more gorgeous swimsuit that might even show a little extra skin. It's a balance, you know, and I soon discovered that Swimsuits Just for Us is a good place to find it.

Quality

I was impressed with the overall quality of these pieces, primarily because there are lots of brands offered and you don't see much variation between each type. Each item fits the mid-brand expectations and matches or exceeds the price point.

Fit

The fit is definitely generous at Swimsuits Just for Us, which is great for a breezy cover-up style. Instead of squeezing into tight terrycloth tube tops and dresses, you can find gauzy options in all-natural fibers hat are sure to cool your body as you hang out at the dunes after a dip.

Selection

Choose from solid cover-ups in basic colors like white, black, and cocoa brown, as well as paisley printed and embroidered items for a little dash of interest. Instead of these cover-ups having a plain "t" shape, you can find ones that are open in the front with a simple waist tie, ones with a deep v-neck, or even pieces that button-down for the beach.

Sizing

Sizing is very generous in most brands. I noticed that the pieces in a lightweight gauze are the largest due to a natural stretch, and the pieces made in India are smaller in general (true to size).
