Make a Splash in a Swim Dress
Whether you’re planning a trip to the beach, the pool, or just spending an afternoon on the sunlounger with a good book, there’s a chance you might also be planning your next swimsuit purchase. Swimwear fashion has grown to encompass a huge range of styles, but the choice of fit tends to fall into the same two categories: either a two-piece bikini, or a one-piece bathing suit.
For those seeking an alternative, a swim dress could be the new summer addition to your wardrobe that you need. Some swim dresses are essentially traditional swimsuits with a skirt attached, some are essentially longer versions of tankini tops, while others are a closer imitation of dresses you’d wear every day with a one-piece underneath.
You can swim in a swim dress, though since they’re not especially streamlined, they’re not recommended for swimming laps in, as the fabric of the skirt could slow you down. If you want a little more coverage without losing speed, a “boy leg” style swimsuit is a good alternative.

Before We Dive In
Depending on the activity you’re planning, looser fit items might not be a good option in certain circumstances and could even be hazardous near pool filters. That aside, they’re fine to wear for light activities, and they look cute, too. Here’s everything you need to know about this fabulous alternative to a traditional swimsuit.
They’re a Great All-Rounder
Some styles of swimdress can be worn both on and off the beach, so there’s no real need to find a place to go and get changed. If you’ve spent a day on the sand and you’re headed somewhere after, simply slip on a pair of sandals and a light cardigan and you’re good to go.
Anyone Can Wear Them
Over the years, the swim dress has gained a bit of a reputation for being an item exclusively worn by older generations – but the reality is, anyone can rock them (just as with any other style of swimsuit). It’s all about what you feel comfortable, stylish and happy wearing.
There’s Plenty to Choose From
Just like standard swimsuits, swim dresses come in a broad range of different colors, patterns and styles. Most have a-line skirts, which tend to flatter everyone, while the bodice part of the swim dress can be any kind of neckline or sleeve-length imaginable.
Vintage Style
Some styles of swim dress are very much in keeping with vintage-inspired fashion, so if this is your style, you should give them a try. Adorable 1950s styles are just the ticket for a retro look, or you could take your notes from 1920s swimwear, when nautical details were making waves.
They’re a Two-in-One
Many swim dress styles come with a one-piece swimsuit built in, so you don’t have to worry about bringing an extra garment with you if you’re headed to the beach or pool. Some styles are also a little more structured, should you need a little extra support.
They Offer UV Protection
Wearing sunscreen is essential, even on days with cloud cover. Adding a longer-length swim dress offers maximum protection from UV rays while looking super-elegant and stylish. The swim dress range at Dainty Jewells is a great place to go for this particular style.
