Lime Ricki’s ultra high-waist faux-wrap swim skirt in the Juniper Charm print, with a brief built in underneath — the whole bottom half of a two-piece in a single garment.
Highlights
✓Built-in brief, fully lined — there is nothing to layer under it and nothing to see through when it comes out of the water. You step into it the way you would a swimsuit and the skirt comes with it.
✓Ultra high waist — it sits well above the hip and covers the midriff, so it meets a crop top with no strip of skin in between. This is the rise that stays put when you stand up off a towel.
✓Faux-wrap front — the overlap is sewn in place rather than tied, so there is nothing to retie after a swim and nothing to work loose in the surf.
✓80% nylon, 20% spandex — the standard swim blend, and the reason it stretches to fit, snaps back as it dries and holds the print flat instead of bagging at the seat. Lime Ricki rates the fabric at UPF 50+, so the cloth itself shades the skin underneath it.
✓Rinse it in cold fresh water after every swim — chlorine and salt are what break spandex down over a season. A cold rinse and a flat dry in the shade keeps both the stretch and the colour.
A swim skirt earns its keep on the days you are in and out of the water rather than only in it — a pool afternoon that runs into lunch, a boat, a resort breakfast, a lake with a walk at the end of it. Because the brief is already built in, it works as swimwear on its own and reads as a skirt the moment you are dry, which is the whole reason to own one.
In Juniper Charm you can build the set around it with the Juniper Charm Classic Crop Top, or take the Juniper Charm High-Waist Bottom instead if you would rather have the brief without a skirt over it. Nine sizes run from XXS to 4X, so there is room to size to the hip rather than the waist. The rest of the print family sits in the swimwear range and the summer edit.
