Stripe Open Knit Sweater Beach Cover Up Women UK

A multi-stripe open knit sweater beach cover up — the kind of beach cover-up that works harder than a plain sarong or kaftan. The open knit construction provides breezy ventilation while the sweater silhouette feels like a genuine outfit rather than an afterthought thrown over a bikini. The multi-colour stripe in warm tones (burnt orange, terracotta, cream and accent colours) makes this a statement piece in its own right. Browse our women's swimwear collection.

Why You'll Love It

  • Open knit construction — the open, airy knit provides coverage without trapping heat, making it ideal for beach and poolside wear in warm weather.
  • Multi-colour stripe — bold, warm-toned stripes in a colour combination that works with multiple different swimwear colours.
  • Sweater silhouette — the sweater-style shape makes this look like an outfit choice rather than just a cover-up, suitable for beach to bar transitions.
  • Versatile length — falls to mid-thigh, providing enough coverage to feel dressed while remaining beach-appropriate.
  • Worn over swimwear — designed to be worn directly over a bikini or one-piece with no additional layering required.
  • Statement piece — bold enough in print and construction to be the most interesting element of your beach outfit.

Fabric & Care

Open knit summer yarn. Hand wash in cool water or delicate machine wash in a mesh laundry bag. Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry. Do not iron over knit texture.

How to Style It

Style inspiration from Who What Wear UK. See our swimwear collection.

  • Beach: open knit cover-up over bikini + flat leather sandals + straw tote.
  • Poolside: worn loosely over a one-piece swimsuit + pool slides.
  • Beach to bar: cover-up over bikini + high-waist shorts underneath + espadrilles.
  • Holiday casual: worn over swimwear as a relaxed knit top for evening drinks by the pool.

FAQs

Does an open knit cover-up provide enough coverage?

An open knit is designed to be worn over swimwear — it provides a layer of visual coverage and sun protection rather than full opacity. You would wear a bikini or one-piece underneath. The open knit construction is semi-sheer by design.

Can I swim in this cover-up?

No — the open knit construction is not designed for water use. Remove the cover-up before swimming and wear it as a beach or poolside layer. It dries quickly if it gets splashed.

What swimwear colours work best with this stripe cover-up?

The warm orange and terracotta stripe tones work particularly well with black, white, coral, rust or yellow swimwear. Avoid conflicting colour stripe swimwear underneath — solid colours work best.

Is this true to UK sizing?

Open knit sweaters run generously and provide a relaxed, easy fit. S/M fits UK 8–14; L/XL fits UK 14–18. Check the specific size guide below for your preferred fit.

Can I wear this as a regular summer top?

Yes — the sweater silhouette of this cover-up means it can be worn as a statement knit top over shorts, a slip dress or wide-leg trousers away from the beach.
