While an over-sized t-shirt may cover your body andbathing suit, and protect you from the sun, it's not appealing! Wearinganything over-sized and huge does not enhance your body's good parts. Whenlooking for a caftan for a cover-up, purchase your size and the cut that fitsyour body the way it should. You may even get it tailored to fit moreprecisely, or the way you want it.
Beforebuying a caftan for a cover-up makes sure you know exactly what you want tocover up. If it is your upper body that you're concerned about, there is noneed to wear a full-length caftan covering down to your ankles. If it is yourthighs you are uncomfortable about, then a full-length caftan may be for you.There are also different neckline cuts depending on which you prefer.
After choosing the size, type,style, cut, etc. of your caftan cover-up, the color or print is important,also. Just because you are wearing the caftan as a cover-up does not mean youshould not watch the colors and prints, as you would with any of your otherclothing. Whether you have a petite body type or a larger body type, largerprints and lighter or brighter colors may make you appear bigger, while smallerprints and darker colors may help you look smaller. As always, horizontalstripes are a no! If you're wearing the caftan to cover-up because you'reuncomfortable in your swim suit or to cover something up, your best bet is togo for a simple-colored caftan. You can even match the caftan with the colorsin your swim suit!
