Sahel season is in full swing, which means that you can never have enough beachwear. We’ve already covered our favourite swimwear, summer sets, and summer dresses from local brands, as well as the ultimate beach bag essentials. Now, we want to focus on one of the items we consider a beach/summer essential: a handy, fashionable beach cover-up. With this in mind, you can confidently trust this roundup of some of our favourite local brands offering beach cover-ups!

Pepla

Pepla is one of our absolute favourite brands for summer wear in general, so it will come as no surprise when we say we absolutely LOVE their beach cover-ups. Available in ten different colours, Pepla’s beach cover-ups (EGP 795) are perfect with patterned swimsuits since they are basic single-coloured cover-ups, meaning they would accentuate your patterned swimsuit beautifully.

Tie Shop

The patterns of Callista’s beach wraps (EGP 565) are to die for! Their beach wraps are colourful, summery, flowy, and comfortable—is there anything else we could possibly want? We certainly don’t think so!

Yawza
