Option 1:  Linen Button Up Shirt

A linen button up is a viable option to cover your midsection during summer.  And before you say its too hot where you live to wear long sleeves, I live near Key West for most of the year.  We wear linen long sleeves all year round to protect our skin from the sun.  Linen is a breathable fabric that allows air to flow through it and cool the skin.  Here, I paired this baby blue linen button up with white linen joggers and white sport sandals for an effortless chic summer look.  Shop this outfit here.

Option 2: Wrap Blouse or Faux Wrap Blouse

A wrap blouse (or a faux wrap blouse like this one) that ties below the bustling but above the waist is a good option to conceal the midsection.  In this outfit, the faux wrap blouse is gathered below the bustling with a flutter hem to cover my midsection.  This boutique has several different versions of this top so I will link to them in the shopping post.  Shop this outfit here.

Option 3: Tie Waist Blouse 

I love a tie blouse because you can control how much coverage for your midsection based on how tight you tie it.  In this outfit, I have paired the tie blouse with white linen crop pants and a straw tote bag for a coastal grandmother or coastal casual summer outfit.  Shop this outfit here.
