Ocean Blues Low-Rise Full-Coverage Bikini Brief

Low rise or full coverage? Both, on this brief: the waistband sits on the hip, and the seat is fully covered at the back, which is a pairing most low-rise briefs skip. The fabric is smooth, stretches, and dries fast. No tie, no ruching and no string: a plain brief, low at the front and full at the back, that stays down when you climb out of the pool.

There is no plus row on this one; the regular run goes S to 2XL, and the low band means you size by the hip, not the waist. Five colourways: black, navy, royal blue, a blue floral and white. It is the bottom to pair with a longline or a bandeau top, where a high waist would leave no skin between the two.

One of 9 on the bikini bottoms rail in the Ocean Blues catalogue. It also answers to bikini bottoms, tummy control swimwear. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
