Teen Boys' Beach Cover Ups
A teenage boy beach cover up is the layer he throws on between the sea and the car, over swim shorts that are still wet. The styles here are for boys aged 8 to 15. Cover ups are cut loose, so they go on and off quickly, even with sandy hands. They also cover more skin than swim shorts alone at the beach café or on the walk back to the campsite. Pack one in the beach bag next to the towel.
Choose by his height rather than his age. If he is between two sizes, go up one, because a cover up is meant to hang loose over swimwear. For a boys' beach cover up for age 9, 140 cm is usually right, and a boys' beach cover up for age 10 is usually 146 cm. Rinse out salt water and sand after each trip and follow the care label. For swim shorts themselves, see Swimwear.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's teen boys' beach cover ups are loose layers to wear over swim shorts at the beach or pool, made for boys aged 8 to 15 in sizes by height in centimetres, with 152 cm usually fitting an 11-year-old.
What size beach cover up should an 11 or 12-year-old boy wear?
A boys' beach cover up for age 11 is usually 152 cm, and for age 12 it is 158 cm. If he is tall for his age, take the next size up so it still hangs loosely over swim shorts next summer.
Can he put a cover up on straight over wet swim shorts?
Yes, that is what it is for. The loose cut means it slides on over damp skin, and a 13-year-old usually takes 164 cm. Hang it up to dry after the beach and shake out the sand before it goes in the wash.
