A fully lined high-waist swim brief in Navy Stripe, cut in 80% nylon and 20% spandex, in nine sizes from XXS through 4X.
Highlights
✓
Fully lined — lined all the way through rather than at the seat only, so it holds its shape through a swim and sits smooth against the skin instead of gripping in patches.
✓
High-waist cut — it comes up at the waist rather than the hip, which means coverage across the middle and no strip of skin left between the brief and a short top.
✓
80% nylon, 20% spandex — the standard swim blend: enough give to pull on while you are still wet, enough recovery to come back to shape. Rinse it in cold water after the pool and dry it flat out of direct sun, because chlorine and heat go for the spandex first.
✓
UPF 50+ fabric — Lime Ricki states UPF 50+ sun protection for the fabric, so the skin under a high-waist brief is covered by the suit rather than by whatever is left in the sunscreen bottle.
✓
Nine sizes, XXS through 4X — XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X and 4X, so the same stripe runs right across the range.
Navy Stripe is a separates print, and that is the case for buying the bottom on its own: you take the brief in your size and the top in yours instead of compromising on one number for both. It goes with the Navy Stripe Bralette for a two-piece, or with the Navy Stripe Racer-Back Tankini Top if you would rather have the torso covered.
This is the bottom for anyone who wants to stop thinking about their middle the moment the towel comes off — a high waist and a full lining between them cover a lot of ground. If you want the same brief without the stripe, the Navy High-Waist Bottom is the plain navy version. The rest of the swim range is in swimwear and cover-ups.
