Whether your packing for vacation or planning for a night out after a relaxing day at the beach or by the pool, learning to style versatile pieces that can easily transition from day to night is so important!  If you’ve never worn a swim cover-up as a dress, I encourage you to give it a try…you’ll be pleasantly surprised how easy it is to take a cover-up from a casual day by the beach or pool to a night out!

My sweet friend Hunter, of Hunter Premo, and I will be sharing how to wear a cover-up in your 20’s and 30’s and how to elevate your look for nighttime as well!  This is the second installation for our #HunterBrookeStyled series and if you missed the first one about styling graphic tees, you can check that out HERE!

As you can see, cover-ups if not sheer, etc., are completely acceptable to wear for a night out as well! Taking a cover-up from day to night is simple…add a heel, a fun clutch or handbag, and a pair of statement earrings and voila!  You have now taken the same cover-up you wore down to the beach or pool and elevated it for nighttime!

For daytime, you will keep your look a bit more simple.  Wear your cover-up over your swimsuit, grab your favorite sun hat and sunglasses, remove your jewelry, and wear a pair of flat sandals and your look is daytime chic!

When you travel, you can save space by packing and planning to wear pieces like coverups that offer so much versatility.  All cover-ups aren’t created equal so when thinking of wearing a coverup for a night out, just be sure that it isn’t too sheer or that it doesn’t show too much skin.  After all, the goal is for no one to know that you are actually wearing a swim coverup to dinner and ladies, we must keep it classy!

Have you ever worn a swim coverup for something other than a trip to the beach or pool?!  If not, are you inspired to try this?

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!  See you back here real soon!
