Shoppers say these are Amazon's most flattering swim cover-ups — prices start at just $4!

This airy chiffon kimono is the definition of sheer genius. With its open-front design, you can still flaunt your suit while getting a little extra sun protection for your back and shoulders. And whether you're lounging by the pool or sipping cocktails on the patio, it's the ideal lightweight layer to throw on in a hurry. The cover-up comes in more than 40 colors and patterns, ranging from classic neutrals to eye-catching prints. At these prices, you might just wind up buying several fun styles.

"This is my third purchase," raved one owner. "This material is thin but soft and comfortable, and it hangs nicely over my sleeveless top. I will definitely get lots of wear on my cruise for swimsuit cover-up and/or over a nice sleeveless satin V-neck top with casual or dressy pants. I can coordinate in several ways!"

These lightweight and sassy sarongs will keep you looking hot from sunup to sundown. And the best part is you'll double your pleasure with this purchase because you get two for a mere $8. Gather it at the waist while going from the car to the cabana, tie it around your bust for a slinky top or layer it over your shoulders like a shawl — the styling possibilities are many. Plus, this sarong set is available in over 30 color/print options. 

"After I had my first baby, I had some indents on my butt that I wanted to cover but still wanted to look cute at the beach — but didn't want to have to wear shorts. The blue cover was perfect and made me feel confident walking around the beach with my 1-year-old," wrote one new mom.

What if there were one easy dress that you could wear for an entire beach trip? Throw it over a swimsuit for morning beach play, wear it shopping on the boardwalk and add your favorite necklace and strappy sandals for sunset drinks and dancing at a rooftop lounge. Hundreds of shoppers say this forgiving sleeveless option is just the ticket. You can choose between 29 styles in sizes small to 3XL.

"Good quality, comfortable, soft material, color is vibrant, sized right [and] can’t beat the price," wrote one vacation-bound buyer. "I purchased two ... with a plan to just throw them on to wear at the pool . ... However, you can dress it up with a sandal and go out on the town. I will be taking it on vacation to Aruba!"

With its light-as-air fabric and effortless drape, this pick is sure to elevate any swimsuit! The loose silhouette keeps you covered without feeling restricted, while the sheer fabric keeps things cool — literally and figuratively. Plus, it's super size-inclusive, available in small through 5XL, and you can choose from a fabulous selection of 39 styles.

One five-star reviewer called it "the perfect cover-up" before adding, "Absolutely LOVE this. Needed something to bring out my plain black swimsuit, and this exceeded my expectations… I can even use it as a cover for my tank dress during the summer as well!"

This chic little number doubles as a legit blouse — which you'll wear whether or not you're near the shore — with shorts, leggings or just as a mini dress. It comes in a wide variety of colors, including classic black, summery sky blue and an ultra-vibrant magenta, so you can find one that fits your vibe and matches your fave swimsuit. Bonus: An oversized chest pocket can hold poolside essentials like lip balm or sunglasses.

Owners love the versatile piece so much that they're buying multiple styles. "Lightweight, fairly wrinkle-free. I've worn it as a dress to work and also as a swimsuit cover-up. Works great for both occasions. I air dried it, and it didn't shrink. It's so comfortable, I ordered it in many other colors," wrote one.

This crocheted cutie is the kind of piece that makes you feel like you've got your life together, even if you're just struggling to keep sand out of your tote. It's breathable, comfortable and pulls on faster than you can say "beach day," which is honestly all we're looking for in a swim cover-up. You can never go wrong with a classic ivory, but it's available in 29 other styles, including bright neon hues and colorful stripes.

"I love these cover-ups. They are a little bit thick, but when the breeze is blowing on the beach, it's perfect! I have two different colors and get compliments on them whenever I wear them," gushed one fan.

If you liked the look of the kimono cover-ups but want a little more coverage, check out this extra-long option. It hits right around the knee, so it will cover your bum and then some, while its open-front design will allow your swimsuit to peek out should you want to show it off. The hardest part will be choosing between a whopping 44 prints.

"Lightweight, yet still had enough coverage from the sun! Perfect for a day at the beach," said one happy shopper.

What's not to love about a crochet knit dress that's loose and airy enough to wear on even the hottest beach days? This sleeveless mini comes in fun brights like tangerine, bright pink and neon green, as well as go-with-everything neutrals like tan, brown, and black and white stripes. It looks conservative at the front but has a sultry cutout at the back to show off some skin, and at just $36, it's a steal — especially because many reviewers say it looks way more expensive than it is.

One reviewer called it their "new favorite cover-up," before adding, "It is soft to the touch and rolls up nicely for travel without getting wrinkled. I bought three of this style in this green, white with black trim, and tan. Love them all!"

We already subscribe to the caftan lifestyle, but we really love this boho style. In fact, if Stevie Nicks were a swimsuit cover-up, we have a sneaking suspicion she'd look just like this. It serves poolside drama in the best way with eye-catching embroidery and sheer paneling that offers coverage without sacrificing style. Choose between 23 gorgeous colors.

One fan said it was the best clothing item they purchased last summer, adding, "I have thrown this on over every swimsuit I own and gone everywhere from the gas station to the grocery store to meeting my girlfriends for coffee. Everyone loves it, and I get compliments on it all the time!"

While not technically on the top 10 list (these sarongs popped up twice), we included this cute option that rings in at No. 13 on the bestseller list because it is a Yahoo reader fave! Featuring a flattering V-neck and short sleeves, the dress also has drawstring side accents and comes in 18 colors. Also important to note, the style comes in one universal size and is about 31 inches long, so it will hit around the mid-thigh for most wearers.

One pleased shopper commented, “I always worry about purchasing ‘one size fits all,’ because it usually doesn’t mean me, but this is not the case at all. This cover-up looks really great! You can get creative with the ties on the sides, letting them drape [or] tying them in the back or front.”
