Sarongs Are So Last Season: Say Hello To The Saress

What: The Saress, $35

Why: At the beach and craving coverage? That sunblock may save your skin, but it won’t leave you feeling any less exposed on the walk to the hot dog stand. Those who want to cover up without sacrificing flirty summer style should check out the Saress. Billed as “The Ultimate Beach Dress,” Saress is a slinky little number that looks like just a piece of fabric with loops at the top corners. To wear, place it behind your back with a loop in each hand, bring the loops to the front, put each arm through the opposite loop, and adjust. No ties, knots or (scorching hot) buttons or zippers. It stays in place, flatters the female form, and is quick to get off and on. In nine colors and patterns for the knee-length version and five in the Sundown ankle-length style, you can customize your cover-up to your swimsuit color, your mood, or your level of modesty.
