Measure at hip over your hip bones and ensure the measuring tape is straight.

Please note that bottoms might feel a bit tight/snug when worn for the first time. Swimwear fabric always loosens up and gets a little softer in use: by choosing a size that feels snug but still comfortable you ensure that the bottoms don’t get too loose after a while.

If you are in between sizes, think of whether you like your swimwear to be a snug fit (best for watersports) or a tad looser (best for tanning and chilling). If you are in between sizes, you can probably wear both, but it’s up to you which fit you’ll prefer. Also think of whether you’d like your bottoms to sit high above the hip or over the hip bones? If you like a low fit, you can opt for a larger size than someone who prefers a high fit, even though your hip measurement would be the same.
