A one-piece with a cover-up is the move for a beach wedding.

Yes, you can look modest and trendy. Get a sleek, well-fitted one-piece (think high-cut leg, low back, solid color or subtle print) and a lightweight cover-up that you actually want to wear — a linen button-up shirt, a sheer kaftan, or a skirt you can tie.

The key is balance: the swimsuit itself can be fashion-forward, because you’ll have the cover-up on during the ceremony and photos. Save the full-on string bikini for the pool party the next day. High-waisted bikini tops with a matching high-waisted bottom also work, but only if the bottoms are cut high enough to avoid showing cheek — beach weddings are not the place to test that boundary.

Pick one statement piece (suit or cover-up) and keep the rest neutral. Trendy now means clean lines, maybe a cutout or a twist front, not ruffles or neon.

You’re there for the couple, not to steal the spotlight.
