Pinup Fashion swim cover-ups(25)

Terry cloth hoodies, sheer mesh long sleeves, sarongs and strapless beach dresses to pull on over a suit.

Terry, mesh or a sarong: which cover-up do you need?

Terry cloth soaks up water, so it is the one for pulling straight over a wet suit at the pool. Sheer mesh dries fast and shows the suit underneath, which suits a beach bar. A sarong ties at the hip or the chest and folds small into a bag.

Does a sheer cover-up protect you from the sun?

Not in any way you can count on. See-through fabric lets light through, and the American Academy of Dermatology points out that tightly woven, darker fabric blocks more sun than light, sheer fabric. Treat a mesh cover-up as a layer for style and keep sunscreen on the skin it shows.

Terry cover-ups: 6 styles on this shelf

Cover-ups sit next to the swim skirts and rash guards in the Pinup Fashion wardrobe.

This is general fit, fabric and sun care information, not medical advice. Follow the care label sewn into your garment first, and ask a doctor about sun protection for your own skin.

What the rules and the experts say

American Academy of Dermatology: What to wear to protect your skin from the sun. Look for a UPF number on the label; dark colors and tight weaves protect better than light or see-through fabric, dry clothing protects better than wet, and skin that clothing does not cover still needs a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.

The Skin Cancer Foundation: Sun Protective Clothing. UPF tells how much UVA and UVB a fabric lets through: UPF 50 lets about one fiftieth reach the skin. UPF 30 to 49 counts as very good protection and 50 and up as excellent, and fabric that is stretched or wet loses some of its protection. Read September 14, 2026.

Which Pinup Fashion cover-up can you wear over a wet swimsuit?

A terry cloth cover-up. It is made to absorb water, while mesh and chiffon just cling.
