Swimming costumes for tall people?

7 replies

I'm 5ft 10, so tall but not exactly a giant. Still, it's proving hard to find swimming costumes that aren't too short in the body. M&S used to do longer size options, but don't seem to anymore. I just took a chance on an Albary one but it's way too tight on the shoulders. A lot of costumes don't even seem to have adjustable shoulder straps anymore. Any options of where to look? I'm a size 10 - is the answer just to size up? I just want a really plain one for actual swimming, not sunbathing/holidays.

I'm 5ft 9, and I had several from Next that have been very good. Just the standard ones, not even the tall range, though many of them do come in tall sizes if you're longer in the body than me.

This one in navy is hands down the most flattering swimsuit I have ever owned.

I recently got a plain black Long Tall Sally one from Next. It has adjustable shoulder straps and is long enough in the body for me (5'11").

I’ve had a couple of nice ones from Long Tall Sally this year (I swim a lot!) I’m only 5ft 7in but I like decent arse coverage.

ASOS have a tall range in their swimming costumes. I usually get mine from there and they really last well

Lands' End have a 'Long' fitting in most of their swimsuits.
