Summer swimwear and cover-up recommendations

Local boutiques offer this summer’s hottest swimwear and cover-up recommendations.
Trendy coverups easily take you from poolside to happy hour.

Choosing the perfect swimsuit can seem like an insurmountable challenge, but thanks to two local boutiques’ recommendations, this year’s shopping can be painless.

Swimwear

At Big Island Swim and Surf Company in Excelsior, bestsellers L*Space’s strap-backed tops ($73) and SeaFolly’s supportive and comfortable Goddess bandeaus ($92) are your best bet. For more coverage, manager Abby Sitkoff recommends a Karla Colletto suit. With fun patterns and necklines, there’s nothing boring about these one-pieces.

Accessories

A swimsuit is nothing without an equally dashing cover-up. Maha! Boutique’s creative manager Megan Wiley recommends the SW3 Pembroke drawstring pants ($255)or the SW3 notley dress ($229). These two pieces feature loose, soft fabric, perfect for a hot day.
