Men's and women's swimsuits: Freya, Banana Moon

Swimwear Freya: Jewel Cove and Nomad Nights

The swimwear from Freya, a British brand of the Wacoal group that specializes in larger cup sizes, consists piece by piece: Freya Jewel Cove underwired bikini top, Nomad Nights halter neck top, high-cut bottoms or with a skirt. The underwired bikini is chosen in cup size, just like a bra.

One-piece and two-piece swimsuits: Livia and Banana Moon

The Livia Ariana Naxos one-piece swimsuit and the two-piece swimsuits from Banana Moon cover your holiday swimwear needs, from the beach to the pool.

Underwired bikini tops: Fantasie and Freya

The Fantasie East Hampton pleated underwired bikini top and Freya tops with a starting strap support larger busts. The plus-size clothing also includes large cup size lingerie: the underwired top can be worn like a bra.

Men's swim shorts: Quiksilver, Lyle & Scott and Protest

For men, the men's swim shorts include the Quiksilver Everyday Volley swim shorts, the Lyle & Scott swim shorts from the Scottish brand, and the Protest Speed swim shorts. The city shorts take over after the beach: the swim shorts are chosen for their quick-dry features.

How to choose your swimsuit

An underwired top with wide straps supports a larger bust; a triangle top is suitable for a smaller bust. A high-waisted bottom or one with a skirt provides more coverage, while a high-cut bottom elongates the leg: the swimsuit is made up according to your shape.

Men's swimwear: swim shorts or swim boxer

The mid-thigh swim shorts are worn at the beach and during holidays; for swimming in the pool, a fitted swim boxer restricts movement less. The men's swimwear is chosen with a mesh lining and a drawstring that keeps it in place in the waves.

Women's swimwear: the full selection

The women's swimwear includes tops, bottoms, and one-piece swimsuits, from Freya to Banana Moon. For a bikini, the top and bottom are chosen separately: a mix-and-match bikini fits all sizes.

Strapless swimsuits, tummy control or plus size

The strapless swimsuit, either completely strapless or with removable straps, avoids tan lines on the shoulders. The tummy control swimsuit, a one-piece with a shaping panel, holds the belly without being tight. In plus sizes, an underwired top and wide straps provide better support for the bust, and a swimsuit for curvy women is chosen with a V-neckline. Pink, red, and green provide a change from black at the beach.

Cheap swimsuits: special offers, clearance and new arrivals

The cheap swimsuit can be found in the special offers and the clearance, and the new arrivals showcase upcoming collections. At the end of November, Black Friday lowers prices across all brands, perfect for planning a sun getaway. Fast shipping and the best price guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions about swimsuits

How do I choose the size of a bikini top?

Like a bra: the band under the bust gives the size, and the cup gives the volume. Specialist brands like Freya or Fantasie sell their tops in cup sizes.

How do I care for a swimsuit?

After every swim, a rinse in clear water removes salt and chlorine; then wash it by hand, in cold water, and dry it flat and in the shade. Chlorine and sunlight damage the elastane.

Bikini or one-piece swimsuit?

The bikini is made to fit your size, with top and bottom sold separately, and it allows for more tanning; the one-piece swimsuit provides better support for swimming and covers the belly. For the pool and sports, the one-piece is the most practical.

Can I take the top and bottom in two different sizes?

Yes, that’s the advantage of swimsuits sold separately, like from Freya: the top in your cup size, the bottom in your panty size. The mix-and-match bikini adapts to shapes where the top and bottom are not the same size.

What swimsuit is best for swimming?

A fitted one-piece swimsuit, with wide or crossed back straps, stays in place in the water. For frequent swimming, a sport swimsuit made from chlorine-resistant fabric lasts longer.
