To get you up to speed, resort living is a state of mind here at ViX — where ease meets elegance, and every moment feels like an escape. Some may call it “main character energy” and others may say it’s romanticizing your life. Whatever you want to call it, for us, resort living is about embracing a slower pace, soaking in the beauty around you, and dressing in a way that strikes a balance between effortless style and sophistication.

ViX cover ups  epitomize this mantra, offering versatility that goes far beyond the poolside. Designed to transition from the beach to the boardwalk and everywhere in between, vacation cover ups are the ultimate staples for any resort wardrobe. When styled correctly, the potential of ViX cover ups is truly limitless.

Whether you’re celebrating a bachelorette party, strolling through a flea market in St. Tropez, or enjoying a sunset cruise, our cover ups will have you looking polished and poised. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not skimpy or tasteless to wear cover ups day to day. Here’s your guide to mastering poolside (or all-around resort) style with ViX’s signature cover ups. 

Search the world wide web for cover ups and you’ll stumble across an overwhelming amount. Admittedly, there are endless styles out there, but ViX offers them all in one place, and a really gorgeous array of options, may I add. From classic caftans to dress cover ups and matching shirts and tops, here are some of the various vacation cover ups you can shop for at ViX. 

Open Front Caftans & Kimonos 

What They Are 

• Caftans: A caftan cover up is pretty openly defined, but put simply, it’s a loose, lightweight garment – a style originating from the Middle East and North Africa – often with 3/4 sleeves and great over swimwear, providing coverage and breathability. They come in various lengths ranging from short to long.

• Kimonos: A kimono cover up, traditionally Japanese, is a wrap-around garment with wide long sleeves and usually tied with a sash. Today many kimonos are typically made of lightweight fabric and popularly worn over swimwear for added coverage.

How to Style Them

• Poolside Glamour: Easily style your caftan or kimono cover up with your favorite bikini and ViX accessories for an effortless poolside statement.

• Day to Night: Belt your kimono or caftan over a slip dress or shorts for an elevated dinner-ready look.

• Layer It Up: Transition from beach to brunch by adding gold jewelry and stylish sandals.

Cover Up Dresses & Tunics  

What They Are 

Cover up dresses and tunics provide more of an "outfit" feel compared to the looser, more robe-like kimonos and caftans. With more tailored cuts and a range of flattering styles, they offer both comfort and style under the sun.

How to Style Them

• From Beach to Bar: Throw on a tunic for a quick trip to the pool bar or lunch spot. Add a sun hat and minimal sandals for a polished look.

• Date Night: Layer a mesh cover up dress over a matching swimsuit, and style it with a belt to cinch the waist and throw on some heels for an elevated look.

Pants, Tops, Skirts & Shorts 

What They Are 

I wont waste your time explaining what pants, top, skirts, and shorts are, as they’re all pretty self explanatory. However, in the cover up world, these pieces have proven to be valuable and versatile separates that bring an elevated twist to traditional swimwear styling and can definitely enhance your resort wardrobe, as well.

How to Style Them

• Laid-Back Looks: Eyelet shorts paired with a matching bikini top screams chic and cool. Throw on a breezy cotton button up to complete the look and feel totally dressed.

• Mix & Match: Combine separates like a high-slit skirt and a cropped cover up top for a playful, fashion-forward take on resort wear.

• From Boat to Dinner: Style a lightweight cover up skirt over your swimsuit and add some ViX accessories to effortlessly transition into evening cocktails.
