How do I choose the right size in women's plus size swimwear?

Use the size chart and the garment measurements listed for the specific suit you are considering. Compare measurements like bust, waist, hip and overall length to a similar style you already own. If you are between sizes, decide whether you prefer a closer or roomier fit based on those measurements.

What is the difference between a tankini top and a one-piece suit in plus sizes?

A tankini top is designed to be paired with separate bottoms, while a one-piece suit is a single, connected style. Tankinis can make it easier to mix and match tops with brief bottoms, skirted bottoms, swim skirts or swim shorts. Choose the option based on the silhouette and styling flexibility you want.

How do I choose between swim shorts, brief bottoms and skirted bottoms in plus size swimwear?

Choose swim shorts, brief bottoms or skirted bottoms based on the shape and amount of coverage you prefer. Swim shorts create a short-like silhouette, brief bottoms are a classic swim bottom shape, and skirted bottoms or swim skirts add a skirted look. Product photos and item descriptions are the best way to compare rise, leg opening and overall length.

Where can I find fabric and construction details for a specific plus size swimsuit?

Fabric and construction details are listed on the individual product page for each style. Look for sections such as Fabric & Care, Materials or similar headings to review fiber content, lining notes and care instructions. If you are comparing styles, open two product pages side by side to compare details.

How should I care for women's plus size swimwear?

Follow the care instructions listed on the product page and on the garment care label. Care methods can vary by style, so avoid using the same approach for every suit. If you want to help keep your swimwear looking its best, wash it according to the listed instructions soon after wear.

Our Women's Plus Size Swimwear collection brings together a range of swimwear styles offered in plus sizes. Choose from tankini tops, one-piece suits and tanksuits, along with swim dresses, swim shorts, swim skirts and swim cover-ups.

Start with the silhouette you like best. A tankini top makes it easy to pair different tops and bottoms, while a one-piece suit or swim dress creates a single, streamlined look. You can also choose between brief bottoms, skirted bottoms, swim skirts and swim shorts to find the shape you prefer.

For the best fit, use the size chart and review the specific details listed on each product page. Look for measurements and design notes that can help you decide, like torso length, neckline shape, strap style and overall length.
