Lime Ricki’s knotted crop swim top in navy — a boat neck, a knot tied at the front, and a built-in bra with a double-lined shelf and foam cups.
Highlights
✓
Built-in bra, double-lined shelf, foam cups — three layers of structure knitted into the top, which is why Lime Ricki puts it forward for the gym as readily as the beach. One garment on, nothing underneath.
✓
A boat neck with a front knot — the wide, high neckline covers more across the chest than a scoop does, and the knot gathers the fabric at the centre so the crop reads as a top rather than a bikini. It is a shape that works with a shirt thrown over it on the walk home.
✓
Navy, not a print — a solid colour goes with any bottom you already own, striped or patterned or plain, and it is the one that still looks like swimwear rather than a particular season.
✓
Nine sizes, XXS to 4X — and XXS comes unpadded. Lime Ricki supplies the smallest size without the foam cups, so an XXS sits softer through the bust than XS and up. Worth knowing when you are choosing between the two.
✓
UPF 50+ fabric in 80% nylon and 20% spandex — sun protection in the cloth, by Lime Ricki, over the span it covers. Rinse it in cold water after a swim and dry it flat in the shade; chlorine, salt and strong sun are what take the spring out of spandex.
A knotted crop is the swim top that behaves like activewear: high enough at the neck and firm enough through the shelf to move in, which makes it as useful for a lap swim, a paddleboard or a class as for an afternoon by the water. Navy keeps it versatile enough to wear well past the pool.
For a single-colour two-piece, pair it with the Navy High-Waist Bottom, or put a stripe below it with the Navy Stripe High-Waist Bottom. Browse the rest of women’s swimwear and cover-ups, or women’s activewear for the gym half of its life.
