A fully lined high-waist swim brief in Lime Ricki’s Margo print, cut to cover the middle and sit flush against a bralette.
Highlights
✓Fully lined front and back — opaque wet as well as dry. That is the difference between a brief you swim lengths in and one you only sit in.
✓High waist — it comes up over the hip bone rather than across it, so there is no gap where it meets a crop top and nothing to tug back into place when you stand up out of the water.
✓80% nylon, 20% spandex — the swim blend that stretches to the body, snaps back as it dries and keeps the print lying flat instead of bagging at the seat after an afternoon in a pool.
✓UPF 50+ fabric — Lime Ricki rates the Margo cloth at UPF 50+, so everything it covers is shaded by the fabric itself — one less stretch of skin to keep re-creaming on a long day out.
✓Rinse in cold fresh water after every swim — chlorine and salt are what finish spandex off. Cold rinse, squeeze rather than wring, dry flat out of direct sun.
Buying the bottom half on its own is how you get a two-piece that fits at both ends: size this to your hips and the Margo Scoop Bralette to your bust instead of compromising on one number between them. If you would rather make a single decision, the Margo Classic One-Piece puts the same print in one garment.
A high-waist brief suits the long day outdoors more than the quick dip — more coverage through the middle means less to reapply and less to think about while you are sitting up on a towel, and it reads as a normal pair of shorts-and-top once a shirt goes over it. Nine sizes run XXS to 4X. More in the swimwear range and the summer edit.
