Lucky enough to be jetting away this year? There’s one buy that can ensure ultimate confidence on the beach: cute swimsuit cover-ups or kaftans.
Find the perfect swimsuit for your body type
Remember a kaftan or cover-up isn’t meant to drown or hide your silhouette, but actually enhance it. Don’t be drowned out by a drab print or unflattering cut. Look like the every inch of diva you are and make sure all eyes are on you. Super-sized sunnies and cocktails are essential!
