Guest Blogger thefind.com Loves Wild Animal Prints

While all the department store racks may be looking forward to Fall and back-to-school shopping (say it ain’t so!), the weather is whistling an entirely different tune. After all, summer is hardly half over, which means shopping for summer must-haves hasn’t been completely rendered “old news” just yet. As a result, for the sake of my last-minute spontaneous summer getaway, I’m diggin’ up the most chic swim coverups to take any beach-going (or pool-residing) fashionista through the latter half of the season in style! The swim trend on my radar? Slinky animal prints that step up your coverup style from “afterthought” to “I’d-wear-this-anywhere!”

I’ll admit it — I’m often caught just throwing on an old t-shirt and a casual pair of cotton shorts when it comes to covering up on the beach (it’s not like I’m wearing them for long, anyway!), but laziness or lack of inspiration should never be an excuse! From floaty sheer dresses to silky shorts and even slinky jumpsuits, these coverups hardly look like something you’d just “throw on.” In fact, if it weren’t for the unbearably hot weather that begs for a swim, you probably wouldn’t even want to shed these coverups upon arrival! Clockwise from top-left: Matthew Williamson Snake-print Jumpsuit, Tara Matthews Silk Zebra-print Shorts, Diane von Furstenberg Beach Rompie Cover Up, Melissa Obadash Isabelle Printed Jersey Dress, and Vix Laura Ana Cotton Dress.
