The swim skirt has been one of the more interesting stories in swimwear over the last three years. It went from an afterthought to a category that every serious swimwear brand now treats as a design priority.
The reason is simple: it solves a genuine problem. The transition from water to anywhere else requires coverage that is practical without being cumbersome. A well-designed swim skirt does this better than any other single piece in the wardrobe.
Transparent to translucent depending on the Lycra weight. Worn over a bikini bottom, it adds coverage for the walk between water and bar without obscuring the swimwear beneath. This is the most versatile silhouette and the one most frequently photographed at beach clubs in Ibiza, Mykonos, and Tulum. It works as a styling layer, not a concealment tool.
Our mesh skirt range is built in the same double-layered Lycra as the rest of the collection, so it pairs seamlessly with any bikini we make.
More structure, more presence. The ruched silhouette creates volume at the hip and a cleaner line at the waist. It works particularly well with more minimal bikini tops, where the skirt provides the primary visual interest.
Resort positioning. A floor-length swim skirt worn over a bikini set reads as a considered outfit rather than hastily assembled poolside coverage. This is the piece that takes a bikini from pool to lunch without a costume change.
The most reliable formula. The mesh skirt is effectively transparent, which means the print of the bikini bottom continues visually through the skirt. The overall effect is effortless layering. This works particularly well with our abstract print collection.
The micro bikini benefits from a more structured cover-up on days where you are moving between contexts: pool, restaurant, pool, bar. The ruched skirt provides enough presence to anchor the look while the bikini provides the statement. See our micro bikini guide.
Designed as coordinating sets, this combination is built for the beach club to evening transition. The sequin skirt reads as evening-appropriate when paired with the corresponding bikini top. No costume change required.
Mini (at or above mid-thigh) for active poolside use. Midi (to the knee) for the beach-to-lunch transition. Maxi (floor length) for resort positioning.
An elasticated waistband that rolls down after five minutes in the water is the most common quality failure in this category. Look for wide, flat waistbands with reinforced seaming.
Our full swim skirt range is available in the cover-ups and skirts collection, in UK sizes 6 to 16.
