Ooze poolside glamour instantly with one of these fabulous kaftans and cover-ups
Lucky enough to be jetting away this year? There's one buy that can ensure ultimate confidence on the beach: the kaftan. Not quite ready to step out in swimwear yet? Look fabulous and feel confident while poolside in one of our favourite killer kaftans and cover-ups.
A must have holiday essential that doesn't only looks super stylish, but also gives you that much needed boost of confidence. A gorgeous summer kaftan and cover-up instantly elevates your holiday style in seconds and conceals any lumps and bumps you don't feel confident parading on the beach or by a pool. Now this doesn't mean that a kaftan or cover-up should drown or hide your silhouette, in fact it should actually enhance it. Don't be dulled down by a drab print or unflattering cut. Look like the every inch of diva you are and make sure all eyes are on you by choosing bold styles and bright pops of colour. If you can't go all out on holiday when can you?
When choosing a cover-up the first thing you need to decide is what you actually want to cover up and what you want to show off. If you're worried about your tum then a loose tunic shape piece is the one for you. Bigger boobs always look sensational in a deep v neck piece like this one for £28 from Next. While curvier bottoms and hips suit a long printed sarong. If you love your arms then a dramatic maxi dress with slim straps will do the job, or if you're a fan of your pins then opt for a mini piece and show off your bronzed legs.
