Swimming costume suggestions

[Tintackedsea]

I love outdoor swimming and I find separates easier to get changed out of on the beach. I prefer to wear shorts and I have some black ones that are ok and I have a bra top and 3/4 sleeve top but they are all looking tired and worn . I’m chunky and short - size 16, 5’2”.

Can anyone recommend any good brands or styles? I need to buy online because I don’t have any shops nearby.

Have a look at the Nefyn top and bottom from Alpkit.

I've recommend this tankini so many times, I should have shares! I'm much larger than you and have H boobs. This is the only non-wired swim suit I've found that holds me up. I swim several times a week year round. This tankini used to have matching shorts, bikini bottoms and a skirted options. There are some other shorts I'll link which might work. I also like that they are such great value!:

I have the Alpkit separates and they are brilliant

Fab! Thanks very much!

I’ve been looking at this brand, and wondering if it’s true to size?

@sexnotgendersyes, true to size

@CMOTDibblerThank you! 🙏

@sexnotgendersI’d say size up.

Thanks. After a lot of indecision, I’ve ordered my size, so let’s hope it fits. It seems like their exchange policy will allow for a swap if it turns out to be too tight 🤞
