A few weeks ago, a friend called me with a relatively simple task; she wanted some cute cover-ups and didn't want to spend a fortune on them. What I thought would be a 15-minute search turned into hours of looking for fun, modern options that didn't feel like grandma's caftan and were under $100. Based on that search, I present my findings.
These 14 cover-ups are the perfect thing to wear this summer. Some are strictly for the pool, while others can be worn to lunch or out with friends. A good cover-up is surprisingly hard to find, and these options are all worth shopping.
