To use this cover-up, simply slip it on over your swimwear or warm-weather clothes. It's great for a day at the beach or a casual outing. When it comes to care, it's best to follow the washing instructions on the label. Usually, a gentle machine wash with cold water is a good idea. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may damage the knit. After washing, let it air dry to keep its shape. Also, be careful not to snag the open knit on sharp objects.
