Most of our styles follow the same size chart, but cut, adjustability and fabric change how a piece fits. These are the fit notes from our designer Mimosa, style by style. The same note is on each product page.
Bikini tops
- Drawstring Top: true to size for cups A–C. For cups D and larger, choose a size up and adjust the back. The cups are adjustable with the drawstring between them. If you're unsure or in between sizes, size up.
- Gathered Top: true to size for cups A–C. For cups D and larger, choose a size up and adjust the back. If you're unsure or in between sizes, size up.
- Plunge Top: true to size, and works beautifully for bigger cup sizes. The straps are adjustable but the back is not, and the band is firm, so we don't recommend sizing up, especially if you have a smaller band size.
- Arc Top: medium support, no structure or underwires. The straps and the back are fully adjustable, so what matters is the coverage you want in the front. Size up if you have a fuller bust or prefer more coverage.
- Tri Top: a low-support style for beach days, not for watersports. Choose by the coverage you want: size up for more coverage, size down for minimal. You can move and scrunch the cups. The straps aren't adjustable, but you can tie them behind your neck.
- Chloe Top: true to size, and works for a wide range of cup sizes. The straps are adjustable, but the back isn't fully adjustable, so sizing up isn't always an option.
Bikini bottoms
All bikini bottoms should feel snug the first time you try them on. They soften with wear, especially in the water.
- Midi Bottoms: true to size for a firm fit. Choose your regular size, or size up if you prefer a softer fit.
- High-Leg Bottoms: true to size for a firm fit. Choose your regular size, or size up if you prefer a softer fit. Exception: the Sienna fabric is stretchier, so don't size up in Sienna, and size down if you're unsure.
- Tie Bottoms: a cheeky style with fully adjustable sides. Choose by coverage: size up for more, size down for less.
- Arc Bottoms: cheeky coverage, and the style runs about half a size smaller than our other bottoms. If you're unsure or in between sizes, size up.
- Gathered Bottoms: the shimmery fabric is stretchier than our usual fabric, so the fit is softer. If you're unsure or in between sizes, size down.
- Chloe Bottoms: true to size. The ribbed fabric is very soft and adjusts to your shape over the first wears.
- Mini Shorts: choose your usual size. The Sienna fabric is stretchy and the fit is soft, and the snuggest part is the waistband.
One-pieces
- Ruched Onepiece: true to size for a sculpting fit. The straps and the ruched sides are fully adjustable. It has two layers of fabric plus the ruching, so it feels tight the first time you try it on and adjusts to your body over the first wears.
- Boatneck Onepiece: true to size for a comfortable fit, so choose the size you normally wear. Great for watersports and sun protection.
- Arc Onepiece: true to size for a sculpting fit. The straps and the back are adjustable. If you prefer a softer fit, size up and adjust the back and straps.
- Linda Onepiece: true to size for a sculpting fit, with fully adjustable straps. Two layers of fabric plus the trimmings make it feel snug at first, and it adjusts to your shape over the first few wears.
