The piece: tie waist, wrap neckline, flare sleeves
The supplier describes a solid-colour cover up with a tie waist, flare sleeves and a surplice neckline, which is a neckline that crosses over like a wrap. The supplier's page names no label; in our shop it is listed under M&Y.
The photos show how open the structure is. You see the swimwear underneath clearly, front and back. On the cream version the sleeves and hem end in a small scalloped edge. The hem lands around mid-thigh on the model.
Who it's for
For you if you want something over your bikini that still lets the sun and the breeze through. It covers shoulders and arms loosely and hides very little, so think of it as decoration more than as clothing.

Fabric and feel: acrylic yarn, open stitch
The cover up is 100% acrylic. Acrylic is a man-made fibre that is light and dries quickly, which is handy for something that will meet a wet swimsuit. The supplier says nothing about stretch, but an open stitch like this gives by nature.
There is no lining, and with this structure there could hardly be one.
Fit and silhouette: loose, to mid-thigh
The supplier gives measurements in whole inches; converted, the length is 76.2 cm in S and M and 78.7 cm in L and XL. The bust is 94 cm in S, 99.1 cm in M, 104.1 cm in L and 109.2 cm in XL. The sleeve runs from 35.6 cm to 40.6 cm, so it ends between elbow and wrist.
Because the front is open and tied, the fit is forgiving. Choose your usual size. If you want to wrap it further over, go one up.

Styling: beach first
The photos show it over a bikini with a straw hat and sunglasses, and that is where it belongs. The cream version over a cream bikini looks soft; the black one over white swimwear has the most contrast.
Away from the beach you can wear it open over a slip dress or over a tank top and shorts, as a light summer cardigan.
Occasions
Wear it on the beach, by the pool, on a boat, at a beach club or on the walk back to the hotel. It weighs little and rolls up small in a beach bag.
Care: machine wash cold
The supplier's care instructions: machine wash cold, tumble dry low. An open knit catches on everything, so we would wash it in a laundry bag and rinse out salt and sand first. Dry it flat so it does not stretch out of shape. Those tips are ours.
The wow detail: the sleeves in the wind
The sleeves widen from the elbow down. On a beach there is always a breeze, and wide open-knit sleeves catch it. Hold a drink, lift your hat, and they move. It makes a simple cover up feel a little like a costume, in a good way.
