I bought this 'bodysuit' in the CK sale which is described as underwear: www.calvinklein.co.uk/bodysuit-modern-performance-000qf6928eub1

It arrived today and I love it. Super flattering and comfy. Except it doesn't have a snap fastening at the base as per descriptio). It also says it's chlorine resistant. Have I just bought a swimming suit? I'm confused 😂

CK had escalated my query to another department and have just sent further information!

They say it is definitely underwear, not swimwear. The reference to snap fastening is a mistake on the website and will be corrected. I've been offered a further discount if I want to keep it, or to just return and have a refund.

I'm going to keep it Smile

It says chlorine resistant and fast drying in the description so I think CK is confused.

I think CK are back tracking don't want to admit they've screwed up.
Who needs / wants chlorine resistant underwear?
It looks like a swimsuit, the features sound like a swimsuit, it probably is a swimsuit

Isn’t the label because chlorine and non chlorine bleach feature in American laundry regimes? It’s sold for keeping whites bright but also to sanitise the wash load.

First thing I saw was " underwear" on the ad....you can use/ wear it how you like but I would check how it looks wet if you ever decide it's ok to have a quick dip in it....if it isn't as described return for refund or ask Calvin Klein if the description is wrong/request replacement! I'm sure you will get plenty of similar answers....but you've got me I interested now in .this....thanks!

I don’t think it is that, as chlorine bleach would wreck a black garment. I agree with Mezmer , I think they are confused and it has been wrongly listed somewhere.

Where and how would you wear it though? It doesn't look like underwear so surely you wouldn't wear that under a top? Would you wear it on its own under jeans or something (but then it's looks like you've got a swimsuit on). It looks like a swimsuit at the back so I'd possibly wear it as a swimsuit. I just can't see where you'd wear it.
