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 .
