The Billabong Women’s Lovechild Cover Up in White is a versatile over-swim piece designed for easy transitions from the sand to the street. In the white colourway, the "open weave" texture is particularly prominent, creating a semi-sheer, breezy look that pairs perfectly with vibrant swimwear.
Key Technical Features
-
Open Weave Stripe Jersey: Crafted from a specialised jersey fabric with an airy, wide weave. This design features subtle vertical stripes within the knit, providing maximum breathability to keep you cool in high humidity or direct sun.
-
Adjustable Side Drawcords: Equipped with functional drawcords at the side seams. This allows you to "ruche" the fabric, giving you the option to wear it as a longer tunic or a shorter, cinched shirt.
-
Versatile Hooded Design: Features an integrated rear hood. While the fabric is too light for significant warmth, it offers functional protection for your neck and head against afternoon sea breezes or sun exposure.
-
Button Front Placket: Designed with a halfway button-up neckline. It can be worn closed for a semi-casual look or open to increase airflow and show off your bikini underneath.
-
Roll Cuff Detailing: Includes button tabs at the sleeves, ensuring that when you roll them up for a more casual look, they stay securely in place during activity.
