How to Find Your Bikini Size (Without the Guesswork)
· WAEV
Buying swimwear online is easier when you know three things: your measurements, how our pieces fit, and what to do if you're between sizes. Here's how to get it right the first time.
1. Measure yourself
You'll need a soft measuring tape. Measure close to the skin, keeping the tape level.
- Bust: around the fullest part of your chest.
- Waist: around the narrowest part of your torso.
- Hips: around the fullest part of your hips.
Then compare your numbers with our size guide.
2. Compare yourself with our models
Every product page has a Model size & fit section showing who is wearing it and what size. For example, Julia is 172.5cm (5'8") with an 89cm bust, 61cm waist and 91cm hips, and she wears a Small in all pieces. If your measurements are close to hers, a Small is a good starting point.
3. If you're between sizes, size up
Most of our swim and activewear runs slightly small. If you're between two sizes, we recommend the larger one.
4. Mix your sizes in a set
Many people wear a different size on top than on the bottom. With every WAEV set, you choose the size of each piece separately, so the bikini top, bottoms and skirt can all be different sizes.
Still not sure?
Message us on Instagram or reply to any of our emails with what you usually wear, and we'll help you pick. Then explore our swim sets, including the Solstice Set and the Continuum Set, which both come with a matching skirt free.
