Introduction
Shopping for a new suit should be an exciting part of your travel planning, not a source of stress. Many women feel uncertain when browsing different silhouettes, wondering if a medium in a One-Piece Suit fits the same as a medium in Bikini Sets. Sizing varies across brands, which is why having a clear guide is the first step toward a successful purchase.
At Outlet Bikini, we focus on helping you find the right match for your body. By taking a few simple measurements at home, you can select items from our Summer Collection with total ease. This guide will walk you through the measurement process so you can Shop Now and wait for your delivery with peace of mind.
How to Measure for Your Best Swimwear Fit
To get the most accurate results, use a soft measuring tape and wear thin clothing or just your undergarments. Keep the tape level and snug against your body, but do not pull it so tight that it pinches.
- Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest. Make sure it stays parallel to the floor for an accurate reading.
- Waist: Find the narrowest part of your torso, usually right above your belly button. This measurement is key for high-waisted Two-Piece Suits and Tankini styles.
- Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips and bottom. This is the most important number for choosing a Bikini Bottom.
- Torso: For those interested in One-Piece Suits, the torso measurement is vital. Start at the high point of one shoulder, run the tape down through your legs, and back up to the starting point.
Understanding the Swimsuit Sizing Chart
Most swimwear uses either Alpha sizing (XS-XXL) or Numeric sizing (2-16). Knowing how these correlate helps you navigate our shop more efficiently. Generally, a size Small corresponds to a US 4-6, while a Medium aligns with a US 8-10.
If you find that your bust and hip measurements fall into different size categories, consider choosing Two-Piece Suits. This allows you to select a different size for your top and your Bikini Bottom, ensuring you are held in securely without any part of the suit feeling too loose. If you are right on the edge between two sizes, we generally suggest choosing the larger option for a more relaxed feel or the smaller option if you prefer a very snug, active fit.
Choosing the Right Style for Your Shape
Different cuts offer different levels of security and movement. If you want a bit more midsection coverage, a Tankini or a high-waisted Bikini Bottom from our Floral Bikini selection might be your top choice. These styles provide a steady feel while you are active in the water.
For those who prefer a more minimal look, our Brazilian Bikini options often feature adjustable ties. These are excellent for fine-tuning the fit to your specific hip measurement. Once you have your numbers, you can also browse our Cover-Ups to complete your look. Outlet Bikini offers a variety of pieces designed to help you stand tall and enjoy your time by the water.
