This sheer ombre wrap cover-up is the one you throw on the second you're out of the water and don't take off until dinner. The sheer mesh fades from a deeper tone at the shoulder into white, and it wraps from an off-shoulder drape at the top down into a long, floor-length skirt with a thigh-high slit for walking. A separate bikini top with a dark trim band sits underneath, visible through the open front of the wrap. Pack it once, wear it everywhere.
The sheer mesh is doing double duty here: it's light enough to drape rather than cling, but the ombre fade gives it enough visual weight to work as the main piece over a plain cover-up. That's the detail that usually goes wrong with a flat, one-colour wrap. Worth knowing before you order: this is genuinely see-through, so it's built to layer over a bikini, not to replace one - only the trim band of the bikini top is visible in our photo, so go by your usual size for the top underneath.
It wraps loosely from an off-shoulder drape at the top into a long skirt with a thigh-high slit, and the sheer mesh means it's built to layer over a bikini rather than stand alone. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.
It's made from a sheer polyester mesh, which is what gives the wrap its drape and its ombre fade. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer. Check the care label on your own garment as well, since dye can vary slightly between colours.
It's the cover-up that does the outfit-planning for you once you're out of the water - the wrap, the drape and the slit carry the whole look, so you're not reaching for a second layer.
What size sheer ombre wrap cover-up should I order?
Go with your usual size. The wrap wraps and ties, so there's already room built in for it to sit loosely over a bikini.
Can I wear this cover-up on its own?
It's genuinely see-through, so it's built to layer over a bikini or slip rather than stand alone.
What is it made from?
It's made from a sheer polyester mesh. We don't have a percentage breakdown, so we're not going to invent one for you.
