Beach Skirts

The Skirt Layer of the Beach Outfit

A beach skirt is a skirt-shaped piece worn over swimwear — it covers the suit's bottom between the water and the table, the walk or the car. Like cover-ups it is the clothing layer, not a swim piece.

This collection gathers 86 styles of that layer, from about $18 to $72.

Sarong, Mini, Maxi, Wrap

The pool divides into a few skirt formats:

• Sarongs — tie-on rectangles from mini to maxi; the classic beach skirt.
• Mini skirts — short made skirts with a waistband.
• Maxi and long skirts — full-length cover for the beach-to-table move.
• Wrap skirts — side-wrap styles that adjust at the waist.
• Three-piece sets — bikini plus matching skirt in one buy.

Length and format set the read — mini for the sand, maxi for the table.

The Words Around the Skirt

The skirt family has overlapping vocabulary:

• Sarong — the tie-on rectangle; near-synonym for the beach skirt in casual use.
• Cover skirt — any skirt worn over a suit, whatever its format.
• Set skirt — the matching skirt bundled with a bikini or one-piece.
• Beach dress — the dress-length cousin; sits in the dress collections.

All cover the suit's bottom — the format decides the read and the pack.

Length, Format, Set or Single

A short order for the 86 styles:

• Pick the length — mini, mid or maxi.
• Pick the format — sarong, waistband skirt or wrap.
• Pick single or set — a lone skirt or a three-piece buy with the swim core.
• Check the size chart on each listing.

Length, format, set or single — then the chart.

Q: Do beach skirts work as regular skirts? A: Several read as everyday skirts over light layers — the fabric and listing photos show how each piece wears.

Q: Where are the skirted bikini sets? A: They sit in both this pool and the bikini-with-skirt collection — browse either for the set reading.
