Men's Beach Cover-up

[mollyanne]

Hi All:

I am having NO LUCK in finding a cover-up for my husband. He would like something in a terry cloth. Any ideas?:confused:

Thanks in advance!

Most men just wear a t-shirt with their bathing suits!

Depending on what he might be wearing, a pair of opaque nylon or onion skin running shorts might do the trick. That's usually what I don for trekking about.

My husband just puts on a golf shirt with his swim suit.

Ditto. Anything in terry cloth is going to look rather like a bathrobe.

Hmmmm, I've never heard of nor seen any kind of cover up for a guy. Usually guys wear swim trunks that double as shorts and just throw a t shirt or golf shirt on too.

Have not seen those around for years,but i do remember them.

We had one a couple of years ago for DS when he was about 3...It was by OP (Ocean Pacific) It was yellow,with a hood,and had surf boards,,and a matching navy swin trunk with boards around the bottom...It was awesome..especially for a young one just getting out of the water..and then being able to walk about town or the ship....It hung just below the waste,and zipped...loved it.

You might find more doing a beach jacket search.....

They're actually out there!! This peaked my interest because I remembered a terry lined button up shirt my dad wore back in the 60's with his swimming trunks. When I found this site I was in stitches...all I could picture was my big strong husband and BIL headed to the pool in these with their beach bags...:p:p If you REALLY are interested here's the site:http://www.nextag.com/Pants--zzbeach+coverupsz2700382zB6z5---html

:eek: Oops, my bad. Don't know why I though the OP meant just covering up on the bottom. I usually go with a T-shirt too.

I agree with the others. I'd suggest a t shirt. Most of the men's trunks now look like bathing suits, so a coverup to cover his trunks really isn't necessary. otherwise, he can always put on a pair of wider legged shorts over his trunks.

 

I agree, I think a terry coverup would look too much like a bathrobe on a man. I think it was a style a LONG time ago, but I haven't seen a man in a terry coverup in ages.

My dh would freak if he saw one of those terry things:eek:

Boardshorts and t shirt for him.......

[kodidog]

I did not look very far into the site, but there are both button up shirts and golf type styles in terry for men....

They're not made of terry cloth, but how about what we called a 'baja' in my former surfer-chick lifestyle? (Back in the 70s in the Los Angeles area.) All the surfer guys wore them. Just watch out for spontaneous exclamations of "DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!"

 

I googled 'baja shirt' and got many hits, including this one:

Thanks to all who took me seriously:). He really wants some kind of cover-up - more than just a T-shirt. I did find a couple of the ones shown before I posted this but the sizes weren't right. He does have (and has LOVED) baja shirts! Thanks for the suggestions.

Darn and I thought things were getting interesting...By the title I thought maybe someone had a new mystery novel to discuss!!

 

My SO wouldn't be caught dead in one of these get ups!

To each his own.:)

And why would I be discussing a mystery novel on the Fashion Pages - hmmmm?

[married with children]

Never know dear Agatha christie could be having a fashion melt down! Jeans or hose??:eek:

[Canuker]

How old is your husband?

[mickeyfitz]

I have never seen anyone wearing anything like that. In my opinion, it looks sillyand impractical, but each to his own.

Oh my gosh! No way would my DH wear one of those!!:eek:

P.S. love your choice of cars:D Kurbanfan!

A Hawaiian shirt is best for pool or beach. Much better looking than terry cloth for out in public.

 

Please, do not let him go out in public wearing terry cloth.

[rhecker]

there wouldn't be enough money in the world for my husband to wear that.

 

I usually go to Stein Mart and find my husband matching or coordinating bathing suit and shirt.

Wow, tough crowd!

 

I don't think they make exactly what you are looking for anymore. My suggestion would be a solid pair of swim trunks with a cotton Hawaiian-style, button-down, collared shirt. This will be loose-fitting and comfortable for your husband and would be very acceptable should you be going from beach to a casual lunch or bar, and I would say even for excursions.

And, your husband needs a cover-up because . . .

 

Is he one of those older dudes in a thong?
