How should women's swimwear fit?

Women's swimwear should fit close to your body without gaps or digging in. Start with bust, waist and hip measurements (in inches), then compare them to the size chart and the Size & Fit notes on the product page. If you are between sizes, use any garment measurements provided to compare to a suit you already own.

What is the difference between a one-piece swimsuit, tanksuit and swim dress?

A one-piece swimsuit is a single-piece suit, a tanksuit is a one-piece with a tank-style top, and a swim dress is a one-piece with a dress-like silhouette. Compare neckline shape, strap details and overall coverage to choose the style you prefer. When measurements are provided, use length details (often in inches) to help you decide.

Can I mix and match women's swimwear separates?

Yes, swimwear separates let you choose a top and bottom independently. Pick a top style you like, then match it with the bottom rise and silhouette you prefer. Check the product page details to confirm sizing guidance for each piece.

How do I choose between swim shorts, briefs and skirted bottoms?

Choose swim shorts if you want a short-style bottom, briefs if you prefer a classic swim-bottom silhouette, and skirted bottoms if you like a skirted look. Then compare rise (such as high rise or mid rise) and leg opening details to narrow down your options. Product pages can also include fit notes to help you choose.

Where can I find fabric and care details for women's swimwear and cover-ups?

Fabric and care details are listed on each product page under Fabric & Care. That section is the best place to confirm fiber content and the recommended wash and dry settings for a specific style. Review it before you buy, especially if you are choosing between two similar options.
