Beach Cover Ups for Teen Girls
A teen girls' beach cover up goes on over a swimming costume or bikini when she leaves the water for lunch, the walk back to the car or a shady spot on the sand. Older girls usually want something that looks like proper clothing rather than a towel, and a cover up can be worn into a beach café or along a seaside promenade. The styles here are for girls aged 8 to 15.
Cover ups are loose by design, so the fit is forgiving. A girls' beach cover up for age 9 is usually 140 cm, and for age 10 it is 146 cm. A girls' beach cover up for age 12 is 158 cm. If she is tall or between sizes, the larger one gives more length over the hips. Rinse out sand and salt water at the end of each day, then wash following the care label.
Your questions answered
MINOTI sells teen girls' beach cover ups for ages 8 to 15: loose pieces worn over a swimming costume or bikini, in children's sizes measured by height in centimetres.
How long should a girls' beach cover up be at age 11?
Mid-thigh or longer works best once she is walking about off the beach. A girls' beach cover up for age 11 is usually 152 cm; if she is tall for her age, go up to 158 cm for extra length over the hips.
Is a beach cover up enough sun protection for a teenager?
No. A loose cover up shades her shoulders a little, but most fabrics let some UV through, so she still needs SPF 30 or higher on exposed skin and a hat between 11am and 3pm.
