Picnic Party Collection UPF 50+ Swimwear

A gingham print that stands out

The Picnic Party print uses large squares and multiple colors for a bolder and more playful look than a two-tone gingham. The oversized check resembles a classic picnic tablecloth.

The multi-color palette blends green, red, orange, yellow, blue, and white into a single print. This variety makes the pattern more dynamic than a single-color gingham and gives it a cheerful, summer-ready energy. It looks fun and intentional in family photos without veering into novelty territory.

Match the whole family

The Picnic Party collection includes sun protective swimwear for babies, toddlers, boys, girls, women, and men. Separates, two-piece sets, and three-piece sets let each family member pick the style and coverage level they prefer while staying coordinated. The Picnic Party print stays consistent across every size, so a baby's set matches a teenager's separates.

Matching swimwear turns a regular pool day into a photo opportunity. The Picnic Party print is distinctive enough to look coordinated across a group without being so uniform that it feels forced. Families heading to reunions or holidays get a polished, pulled-together look that captures the moment.

Pair the print with coordinating solids

The collection includes solid-color pieces in green, red, orange, yellow, blue, and white. Since the Picnic Party gingham incorporates all of these colors, every solid piece coordinates with the print.

Balance pattern and color

Pair a Picnic Party gingham rash guard with solid green or blue swim bottoms for a look that's coordinated but not overwhelming. Reverse it by wearing a solid top with gingham bottoms. Family members who prefer a less busy pattern can wear a solid piece in any of the six colors and still look like part of the group.

Create variety across the family

Give each family member a different balance of print and solid. Mom in a gingham top and solid bottoms, dad in solid swim trunks with a gingham rash guard, kids in full gingham sets. The result is a family that clearly matches but with individual variety that keeps the look relaxed.

UPF 50+ sun protection across the collection

Every Picnic Party piece is made with UPF 50+ fabric that blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays. The collection carries the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation as a confirmation that each item meets stringent criteria for effective UV protection.

The protection is consistent when the fabric is wet or stretched. Focus sunscreen on exposed skin like faces, ears, feet, and hands, and trust that covered areas stay protected all day without reapplication.

Picnic Party swimwear FAQ

How do I care for multi-color gingham swimwear?

Rinse every piece in cool, fresh water after each use to remove sunscreen residue, as well as chlorine or salt. Machine wash on the gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, which can degrade the fabric's sun-protective properties and dull the multi-color print. Air dry flat or on a hanger in the shade, and skip the dryer.

What's the difference between Picnic Party and the other gingham collections?

Picnic Party uses a larger check pattern with multiple colors blended into one print. The red, pink, and blue gingham collections each feature a smaller, two-tone check in a single color family. Picnic Party is the boldest and most colorful option, while the single-color ginghams offer a more understated look.

Can I mix Picnic Party pieces with other SwimZip collections?

The multi-color palette makes Picnic Party versatile for mixing. The solid green, red, orange, yellow, blue, and white pieces from this collection pair well with prints from other SwimZip lines that share those colors. Some families combine Picnic Party gingham with red gingham swimwear pieces for a coordinated-but-varied family look across two related patterns.

Will the multi-color print fade or bleed after washing?

The colorfast dyes hold each color in the gingham pattern separately, so colors won't bleed into each other or into solid pieces washed together. Some gradual fading occurs over time with any swimwear, but the Picnic Party print maintains its contrast and vibrancy through regular use when rinsed and washed according to the care instructions above.
