Last year I finally bought a cover-up that I loved wearing and it was a total summer game-changer for me. Getting dressed on really steamy days is so easy now and I feel perfectly put-together between dips in the lake.
My typical summer day styling goes a lot like this:
- SPF? Check.
- Bathing suit? Check.
- Cover-up or Caftan? Check.
- Hat? Check.
- Flip flops? Optional, but also check.
Today I’m sharing a closer look at the two cover-ups in my closet along with a roundup of several others, should you find yourself in need of such a summer superhero. Read on to see more!

THE EMERSON CAFTAN
BY EMERSON FRY
This piece is so beautiful and airy to wear and despite its feathery weight, it doesn’t feel too delicate. I love that the hand block print visually elongates the frame. Emerson Fry also added a little inner tie around the waist that lets you adjust if you want a bit more shape (which I did for these photos). There is a hook and eye closure at the bust as well, making it new mom friendly. So many thoughtful details and such a gorgeous pattern. I’ve worn this countless times and it washes up beautifully and air dries overnight or in a couple of hours outside.

THE ORGANIC LINEN GAUZE CAFTAN
BY EILEEN FISHER gifted
My exact swim top and bottoms, are from a Canadian designer.
This piece is special because of its elegant shape, super breathable linen, and sophisticated sheerness. I love the airy drape of the fabric and the partial seam that runs along the sides but not to the bottom creating a subtle side slit. It’s particularly chic over a black bikini or one-piece swimsuit. With black flip flops and gold accessories, it’s impossible not to feel like a total babe in this one!
Ps. It also comes in white!
