Swimwear ranges from fashion bikinis and one-piece swimsuits to practical lap-swimming suits, board shorts, swim trunks, rash guards and kids' sun suits. Independent swimwear labels often offer mix-and-match separates, so tops and bottoms can be bought in different sizes, along with options like underwire or molded cups, adjustable straps and higher-rise bottoms.
Swim fabric is usually nylon or polyester with elastane for stretch, and lining affects both opacity and support. Chlorine-resistant fabrics, often polyester-heavy blends, last longer for regular pool swimmers, while softer nylon blends are common for beachwear. Some suits are made from recycled nylon, and rash guards and swim shirts may carry a UPF sun-protection rating. Board shorts are typically quick-dry woven fabric with a lace-up fly, while swim trunks have a mesh liner and elastic waist.
Fit is personal and can be tricky to judge online. Check the seller's size chart for bust, underbust, waist, hip and torso length for one-pieces, and look for coverage descriptions for bottoms. Rinsing suits in fresh water after swimming and drying them flat in the shade helps them last.
Choosing swimwear
- Compare bust, underbust, waist, hip and, for one-pieces, torso length with the seller's size chart.
- Check the coverage level for bottoms and the support style for tops, such as underwire, molded cups or bralette.
- For pool swimming, look for chlorine-resistant fabric; for beachwear, softer stretch fabrics may feel more comfortable.
- Check whether the suit is fully lined, and ask about opacity in light colors.
- Read the shop's return policy, as many sellers only accept unworn swimwear with the hygiene liner in place.
Questions about swimwear
Can I buy bikini tops and bottoms in different sizes?
Many independent swimwear shops sell separates, so you can choose each size. Check whether the listing has size options for top and bottom separately.
What does chlorine-resistant swimwear mean?
It uses fabrics, usually polyester-rich blends, that hold their color and stretch longer in chlorinated pools. It is a good choice if you swim laps regularly.
What is UPF on swimwear?
UPF is a rating for how much ultraviolet radiation a fabric blocks. It is common on rash guards and kids' swimwear, though it does not replace other sun protection.
How do I care for a swimsuit?
Rinse it in cool fresh water after each swim, wash gently by hand, and dry flat in the shade. Avoid wringing it out or leaving it in the sun.
