Buying Guide

Choose breathable fabrics

Look for chiffon or lightweight cotton blends—materials like chiffon (seen across several chiffon maxi skirts) dry quickly and drape well over swimwear

Prefer elastic or pull-on waists

Elastic-waist designs and pull-on styles make slipping a cover-up on and off easy, improving comfort for beach-to-boardwalk transitions

Pick a versatile length

Maxi skirts provide full coverage for sun protection and modesty while still allowing airflow; consider midi if you want more mobility

Consider plus-size-friendly cuts

Brands offering plus-size-friendly fits and elastic waists deliver more inclusive sizing and comfortable stretch for different body shapes

Balance pattern and practicality

Floral or boho prints hide sand and water spots better than solid light colors, while neutral tones pair easily with multiple tops
