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

  • 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.
