The Best Pieces of Clothing for Lounging Around the Pool

We can't be the only people who prefer lounging poolside instead of actually being in the pool. You don't have to worry about smelling like chlorine for the rest of the day. Your hair is dry. And most importantly, you can wear something more interesting than a swimsuit.

Below, we've gathered a list of attire you can wear while sitting pretty by the water this summer.

Wild Fable Open-Weave Crochet Cover-Up Shorts: $20

It's easy on and off access, so you can jump in the water whenever you want without a grand outfit change. Plus, these colors are so vibrant and beachy.

If you like the sound of the Boohoo dress but desire something shorter, try Edikted's Mini Dress. It's got the same gorgeous crochet that keeps things nice and airy during those sweltering summer evenings, but its tiny length will make it even easier to slip off.

Kitty and Vibe Wide Leg Cover-Up Pants: $78

We're the kind of people who love pants, even in the height of summer. Unfortunately, it's not the most practical to wear a pair of sweats when you're by the pool. There is no need to worry, though, because Kitty and Vibe offers the perfect full-coverage option. These wide-leg pants are flowy and breezy, thanks to their lightweight, quick-drying Brazilian Beach fabric.

Beach Riot Allegra Top: $148

This Allegra Top from Beach Riot at Revolve has to be the most versatile on this list. Yes, you can wear it open and over a bikini like the model, but you can also button it up for more coverage over your top and bottom. Also, it's so chic and elegant that you can use in your everyday wardrobe, too.
