IN & UNDA DE SEA! OCEAN ADVENTURES
LOOKING SEXY WHILE COVERING UP
It’ s always summer( and swimsuit season) in Barbados with 365 days available to go to the beach. Beach or pool, it pays to have a flattering look! One that accentuates the positive, while hiding all the little bits, which we can sometimes be self-conscious of- something sexy, savvy and comfortable that makes us look and feel fantastic. A cover up is a fun and functional way to achieve this, so here are our suggestions.
A CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON It’ s said that there is nothing sexier than a half naked woman in a man’ s shirt. In some instances this may be correct, but luckily, we can just go out and get us a“ boyfriend shirt” tailored to fit our bodies and curves. They are suitable for any body type, but don’ t you dare play shy! The buttons down the front are great for peek-a-boo with your assets and a boyfriend shirt in linen or cotton are great for keeping cool on the beach.
TRY A HOODIE Yes, we said hoodie, but don’ t run out and buy a sweater or a sweat shirt. Instead look for a cute hooded dress, is an adorable option for a cruise or an outing that will extend into the night.
CROCHET, NET OR MESH For those looking to show off a little more without giving away the entire show, a sexy crochet or mesh dress might be just the thing. This naughty but nice option will cover it all and expose it all- at the same time, leaving everything else to the imagination. This is a sexy and cool option for these hot island days.
THE KAFTAN OR MAXI DRESS If you’ re looking for a sultry way to cover up that beach body, try a Kaftan or a maxi dress, the length adds a touch of elegance and sophistication that’ s easy to transform from the beach to a dinner table or an elegant party with a simple change of shoes and accessories.
WRAP IT UP The beach wrap or Sarong is a classic beach cover up. Easy to use, easy to pack and exceptionally versatile with several different ways which it can be worn. With so many beautiful print and options to match any skin tone and swimsuit, it should be easy to find one that fits your personality.
TOTALLY TUNIC If there was just one piece that’ s a“ must have” for your closet of beach accessories then the tunic is that item. The tunic is available in several colours, styles and lengths and are a compliment to most body types. We suggest the classic Bohemian tunic, most popular with a plunging neckline and split at the side for added sex appeal.

Tips for making the right selection
Buy something that will make you feel super sexy, that shows off your best asset( Yes we all have one!) If you like to show a little cleavage, a lot of leg, hide everything or leave little to the imagination, the tunic and boyfriend shirts are great for all of the above.
2
If you burn easily then select an option with a sleeve that can help shade you from the suns rays if your sunblock( heaven forbid) is not at hand.
3
On hot days a cool fabric is a plus, but if you plan to wear the cover up outside of the beach then try to select a fabric that is cool, durable and flexible( in terms of suitability) for day and night.
4
Embrace length cautiously, choose a lovely flowing maxi dress or kaftan if you want to feel sexy while covering those bits, but be sure to inspect your rear end before purchase, as some materials can be quite unflattering.
