Swimwear sizes can be a little confusing. Some swimsuits, for example, are in chest size cup size, while others have clothing sizes. We have put together our guide for swimwear to help you feel your best on the beach. If you’d like some advice on the best swimsuit style for your shape, check out our handy guide below.
What Size Bikini Top Should I Choose?
We recommend choosing a bikini top in the same size as your bra. This will ensure you get the right amount of support and comfort, leaving you to enjoy your day stress-free. If you're unsure about your bra size, check out our guide to finding your bra size here.
Some women would rather their bikini tops are a little looser for extra comfort. If this is the case, we suggest going up a chest size and then down a size in the cup, this will help to keep the size balanced. For example, if you usually wear a 32DD, you can opt for a 34D. Please do keep in mind that if you increase your back size, the amount of support will reduce.

As we are all different shapes, you may find that you need to try a few different sizes to find the perfect fit. If you feel you need more room in your swimsuit, we suggest going up a chest size and then down a size in the cup, this will help to keep the size balanced (see above).
We understand how difficult it can be to choose the correct size without trying it on first, so we encourage you to do this and return the items that don’t fit correctly.
