There was a time in my life when I didn’t mind hanging out around a pool or lying on the beach in just my bikini. Unfortunately, those days are over (not here now, about to return?), so I like a coverup. And for those of you confident souls who have the confidence to rock your bikinis alone (yes! Keep it up!), sometimes you still have to walk through a hotel lobby or grab a quick bite. This list of ethical coverups is also for you!

While most of the time, I’ll just wear a sundress or my cutoffs, I found some beautiful and completely ethical coverups worth sharing. They are gorgeous, they are elegant, they are put together. And most importantly, they are made in a sustainable way, using fair and ethical labor practices and can double as dresses or tunics.

Here are my 4 of my favorite ethical coverups for this year’s bikini season

1. Cuyana

Two of their coverups are so beautiful, they most definitely double as a dresses. The other two, the oversized scarves, are also designed for (more than) double duty, as a scarf, a sarong, a turban, anything really. A minimalist and conscious shopper win. As with all things Cuyana, these are designed to be part of a lean closet, and everything should be loved and worn for a long time.

2. Vitamin A

As with all things Vitamin A, their coverups are Southern California beach inspired, designed and made in California, using sustainable materials. And because this is a line born and raised at the beach, there are so many perfectly ethical, perfectly beautiful options. For a beach vacation, a pool day, or just a trip to the park.
