What is UPF?

UPF is a rating system that measures a fabric's ability to block UV rays from reaching the skin. UPF ratings range from 15 to 50+, with higher numbers indicating greater protection.

Fabrics with a UPF rating of 50+ block at least 98% of UV rays, while those with a rating of 30 block about 96.7%. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends choosing clothing with a UPF rating of 30 or higher for optimal sun protection.

Our sun-protective swimwear features UPF 50+ fabric, which is the highest level of UV protection. This special fabric's tight weave allows less than 2% of UV harmful radiation to pass through, significantly reducing the risk of sunburn and skin damage.

Swim accessories FAQ

How do I look classy in a swimsuit?

To look classy in a swimsuit, opt for a one-piece style with minimal embellishments. A classic black swimsuit can be elegant and timeless. Pair it with a chic cover-up or sarong to spice up your beach look. Accessories such as an oversized sun hat and stylish sandals also add a touch of sophistication.

What swimsuit color is the most attractive?

While swimsuit color preferences can be subjective, bold colors such as red or bright patterns tend to be considered most attractive. A pop of color flatters different skin tones and body types.

Are bathing suits the same as swimsuits?

Bathing suits and swimsuits refer to the same type of garment which is worn for swimming or water activities. The terms are often used interchangeably, though "swimsuit" is a more modern and widely accepted term than the dated "bathing suit."

What is the difference between a sunsuit and a swimsuit?

A sunsuit is a lightweight, casual garment that offers sun protection but can be used for water activities too. It typically covers more skin than a swimsuit. A swimsuit is made of water-resistant materials meant for swimming or beach wear.

What do you call a beach cover-up?

A beach cover-up is a light, casual piece of clothing worn over a swimsuit when you're not in the water. Common styles include kaftans, sarongs, tunics, and kimonos.

Are tankinis flattering?

Tankinis, which feature a tank top-style separate and bikini bottoms, can be very flattering for many body types. The two-piece design gives you a customized fit while the tank top provides more coverage for the midsection than a traditional bikini top.

What causes a swimsuit to stretch out?

Repeated exposure to chlorine or saltwater, as well as heat and direct sunlight, can cause a swimsuit to stretch out over time. The stretch issue is common with suits made from lower-quality materials that lack proper elasticity. High-quality athletic swimsuits with durable, water-resistant fabrics tend to retain their shape better.
