Striped Open Front Long Sleeve Cover Up | Orange / S 100100168171558

How to measure this cover-up

Use a soft measuring tape and measure the garment laid flat on a smooth surface. Do not stretch the fabric while measuring. Record measurements in inches or centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm).

Garment measurements (flat-lay)

• Bust / Chest (flat): Measure straight across the front from one underarm seam to the other. Double that number to get the full chest circumference.
• Length (HPS to hem): From the highest point of the shoulder at the neckline (HPS) straight down to the hem.
• Shoulder width: Measure from seam to seam across the back (where the sleeve meets the shoulder). For drop-shoulder styles, measure from the topmost point of the shoulder to the other topmost point across the back.
• Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. If there is no defined shoulder seam, measure from the base of the neck (center-back) over the shoulder to the cuff.
• Hem width (flat): Measure straight across the bottom hem and double to get the circumference at the hem.
• Sleeve opening: Measure across the sleeve cuff (flat) and double for cuff circumference.

How to use these measurements

• Compare the garment measurements to a similar item you already own (laid flat) for best fit comparison.
• Allow extra ease for layering: ~2–4" (5–10 cm) over swimwear or a tee; ~4–8" (10–20 cm) if you plan to layer sweaters under it.
• If between sizes and you prefer a relaxed, drapey cover-up, choose the larger size.

Materials & fabric details

Striped open-front cover-ups are made in several lightweight fabrics. Check the garment tag or product details for the exact fiber content. Typical options and what to expect:

• 100% Polyester (chiffon / voile): Lightweight, semi-sheer, quick-drying, colorfast. Care: machine wash cold gentle or hand wash; hang to dry; low-heat iron or steam if needed.
• Viscose / Rayon: Very drapey and soft with a silk-like hand but can shrink or weaken when wet. Care: hand wash cold or machine wash gentle in a mesh bag; reshape and dry flat; iron on low inside-out.
• Modal / Modal blends: Soft, breathable, retains color well and has good drape. Care: machine wash cold gentle; tumble low or hang to dry; avoid high heat.
• Cotton gauze: Textured, breathable and slightly structured. Care: machine wash cold gentle; tumble low or hang to dry; may soften with washing.
• Knit blends with elastane or poly/spandex: Stretchy, comfortable for layering. Care: wash cold; reshape and dry flat to maintain shape; avoid high heat.

Tip: If the label lists a blend (e.g., 95% viscose / 5% elastane), follow the more delicate care directions and avoid high temperatures.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Wash smart: Prefer cold water and the gentle cycle or hand wash. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach. Turn the cover-up inside out before washing to protect stripes and colors.
• Use a mesh bag: Place delicate fabrics in a mesh laundry bag to reduce snags in the machine.
• Drying: Hang to dry for woven fabrics like chiffon or voile; lay flat to dry for knits and viscose to prevent stretching. Avoid prolonged direct sun to prevent fading.
• Ironing & steaming: Steam lightly or iron on low heat inside-out. Use a pressing cloth on delicate fibers. Avoid high heat on synthetic or blended fabrics.
• Storage: Hang on a wide, padded hanger for woven styles; fold knit cover-ups to avoid stretched shoulders. Keep out of direct sunlight and away from damp areas.
• Quick stain care: Blot oils/sunscreen immediately; pre-treat spots gently with a mild detergent or stain remover suitable for the fabric, testing inside-out first.
• Pilling & snags: Remove pills with a fabric shaver. For snags, gently pull the snag through to the inside or trim tiny loops carefully—avoid ripping.
• Color care: Wash stripes with similar colors; wash new items separately the first time in case of dye transfer.

Style tips

• Beach-ready: Wear open over your swimsuit, add a wide-brim straw hat, flat sandals and a woven tote. Tie the front in a loose knot for a cropped look.
• Casual daytime: Layer over a tank or fitted tee with high-waisted denim shorts or jeans and sneakers. Roll the sleeves to three-quarter length for an effortless vibe.
• Dressed-up: Cinch at the waist with a slim belt over a slip dress or camisole + tailored trousers, add heeled sandals and statement earrings.
• Office-casual: Use as a lightweight duster over a blouse and slim pant; pick neutral stripes for a polished look.
• Mixing patterns & color: Pair stripes with solid colors or very small-scale prints. Vertical stripes elongate; wider horizontal stripes give a broader appearance—choose based on the silhouette you want.
• Transition seasons: Layer the cover-up over a thin turtleneck or long-sleeve tee and ankle boots for a lightweight transitional outfit.
• Accessory ideas: Leather or woven belt, long pendant necklaces, hoop earrings, straw or felt hats depending on season.
• Fast styling tricks: Knot the front panels at the waist for a cropped look, belt it to define the waist, or button/clip the sides for an asymmetric silhouette.
