Versatile Swimwear From the Beach to the Gym

Versatile Swimwear From the Beach to the Gym

We’re all about versatility, and our collection of yoga swimwear is designed to take you from the beach to the gym and beyond. Whether you’re squeezing in a quick workout before a beach day or want activewear that’s as cute as it is functional, our pieces have got you covered—literally!

Should You Wear Your Swimsuit to the Gym?

Let’s talk options. From bralette swim tops that double as sports bras to bike shorts that you can rock in the water or during your favorite yoga sesh, our swimwear is made for movement. And we’re not just talking about the kind of movement that happens in the waves. Whether you’re hitting the tennis courts, biking along the coast, or flowing through your favorite yoga poses, our swimwear keeps up with your active lifestyle effortlessly.

Bralette Swim Tops = Sports Bra Vibes

Why pack both a swim top and a sports bra when one piece can do it all? Our bralette swim tops are supportive enough for a run on the treadmill and stylish enough for a splash in the pool. With bold prints and a snug fit, these tops give you the freedom to move, whether you’re stretching it out in the gym or catching some rays by the water. Comfort? Check. Coverage? Check. Cute factor? There.

Bike Shorts: From the Spin Class to the Surf

A great pair of bike shorts deserve a moment—and we’re absolutely here for it! Not only are our swim bike shorts perfect for getting active in the water, but they’re also ideal for your gym workouts, especially those sweaty spin classes. Built for flexibility, they’re snug enough to stay put but stretchy enough for maximum comfort. Plus, they come in the cutest colors and patterns, so you’ll always look fabulous, no matter how you’re breaking a sweat.

Full Coverage Swimsuits for Every Body

Full Coverage Swimsuits for Every Body

Let’s be real: the days of "less is more" are pretty much over. Full coverage swimsuits are taking center stage, and we couldn’t be more excited! From retro-inspired one-pieces to high-waisted bottoms, these suits are showing up and stealing the spotlight. But why the sudden love for more coverage? Spoiler alert—it’s not just about sun protection (though, yes, that’s a major perk!). Fuller-coverage swimsuits are making waves for all the right reasons, and we’re here to tell you why ours are a must-have in your swim wardrobe.

Full Coverage for Full Confidence

There’s something empowering about slipping into a suit that covers a little more and gives a whole lot back. Full coverage swimwear lets you move, play, and lounge without constantly adjusting your suit or worrying about wardrobe malfunctions. Whether you’re chasing the kids through the sand or cannonballing into the deep end, these suits have got your back—literally and figuratively. When you feel secure in your swimwear, it shows. Confidence is the best accessory, and full-coverage swimsuits are absolutely delivering.

Coverage Without Compromise

Full-coverage suits are coming in hot with bold prints, bright colors, and fun details that make them anything but boring. We’re all about mixing playful patterns with flattering cuts, so you can express your style without giving up comfort. Our swimsuits offer full coverage, but they’re far from conventional. Think playful stripes, tropical florals, and dreamy pastels that scream "beach babe" while keeping you covered.

There’s no denying the retro revival that’s happening right now, and we think full-coverage swimsuits bring back some of that old-school charm. Classic silhouettes, like high-necklines and boyshort-style bottoms, give a nod to the timeless glam of yesteryear. And who doesn’t want to channel their inner Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly on the beach? Our swim silhouettes and our original designs are all about classic coverage, but with a fresh, modern twist that makes them completely today.

And let’s not forget one of the most practical reasons to go for full coverage: sun protection. More fabric means less skin exposed to those harmful rays, which means fewer reapplications of sunscreen. (And let's face it, who wants to miss out on beach time for yet another round of SPF?) Full coverage swimsuits keep you stylish and sun-safe, so you can enjoy the day without worry.

All Shapes, All Sizes, All Welcome

Around here, we believe that every body is a beach body. Full-coverage swimwear allows you to embrace your shape with pieces designed to be comfortable and stylish in every size. From extra-small to 4X, our suits are thoughtfully crafted to flatter your curves, giving you all the support you need to feel amazing. We celebrate inclusivity because everyone deserves to feel confident and chic in their swimwear.

So, if you haven’t hopped on the full-coverage swimwear trend, now’s the time! It’s not just a passing trend—it’s a movement toward more confidence, more comfort, and more fun in the sun. Dive in, and see for yourself why full coverage swimsuits are here to stay. Start shopping our collection of full coverage one-piece swimsuits now!

A Summer of Lime Ricki: A Splash of Excitement

As the sun sets on another unforgettable summer, we can't help but reflect on the waves we’ve made—not just in the water, but in the media too! This season was all about embracing bold colors, playful patterns, and celebrating every body. Thanks to your support, Lime Ricki made some exciting appearances in the spotlight. Here’s a recap of the summer fun and where we made a splash this season.

Tampa Bay’s Morning Blend

As the season started heating up, so did the excitement! Our swimsuits were spotted on Tampa Bay’s Morning Blend, where they were praised for their versatility as the perfect vacation essential. Lifestyle expert Sima Cohen kindly commended us for never airbrushing our models and instead highlighting the natural beauty of the gorgeous women who work with us. We loved seeing how this feature brought out the best of Lime Ricki’s design ethos—where fun meets function and your purchase helps our giving back initiative!

 

Fox40

Once again, lifestyle expert Sima Cohen recommended Lime Ricki for a second time, on Fox40 as part of her Summer is Here: Trending Beauty & Wellness Must-Haves for the Whole Family segment. We’re so thrilled that Sima was able to get our message out to an even broader group of people!

Studio 5 with Brooke Walker

Back in June, we kicked off the summer with a bang when Brooke Walker featured Brittany Jepsen of The House that Lars Built on her show. The two discussed body image and self-confidence issues that so many women deal with, and Brittany shared her personal mantras: Just Wear the Suit, No One Else Really Cares, and Life is Too Short to Wear Boring Suits. Brittany reviewed her design process for her second collection in collaboration with us here at Lime Ricki and explained how this collection was inspired by her time living in Brazil. We’re so happy Brittany was featured, and thrilled to have gotten some exposure for the collection!

ABC4 Good Things Utah

We were absolutely glowing when ABC4 Utah did a segment featuring one of our swimsuit designers Lauren Nielsen, joined by three of our beautiful models. Lauren discussed some of the positive feedback that we receive as an inclusive swimwear company, and our models showed off some of our favorite suits of the season. Seeing our swimsuits celebrated for their inclusive sizing and bold colors/patterns was a true highlight. The feature sparked even more love for our commitment to creating swimwear that empowers women to feel confident and comfortable.

Let’s talk about one of our favorite trends that’s made serious waves this summer: matching swim sets! Whether you’re hitting the beach or lounging poolside, modest matching swimwear is having a major moment, and we couldn’t be more excited. We love the way this trend combines style, fun, and a sense of effortless coordination—all while staying true to our core of modest, confident swimwear.

Why We Love Matching Sets

Matching sets take the guesswork out of putting together a killer swim look. Whether you prefer bold prints or sleek solids, matching tops and bottoms give you that instant put-together vibe. Plus, they let you make a statement without sacrificing comfort or coverage—two things that are super important to us at Lime Ricki. It’s the perfect blend of fashion and function!

Modest Bathing Suit Trends

Looking for modest swimsuit trends? Let’s dive in! 

If you’ve ever been frustrated by swimsuit shopping, you’re not alone. While it seems like there are endless options at specialty, department, athletic apparel, or big box stores, often it seems like the styles are all the same and are all clearly designed for the same body type or size. Which just isn’t realistic when every body is different. 

Increasingly, the oversaturated swimwear world has seen a shift in buyer behavior in recent years where diversity and inclusivity are key. People believe more and more that clothes should fit them, not the other way around, and we’re all for that sort of body positivity (it’s why we never airbrush or photoshop our models—they are just right the way they are, and so are you)

If you’ve ever struggled to find swimwear that suits you, modest swimwear might be the solution. When we’re having fun in the sun, the last thing we want to be doing is constantly fidgeting, adjusting, and checking to make sure all is where it should be. 

In our opinion, coverage = comfort and comfort = confidence. 

Today, we’ll be taking you through some of the top modest bathing suit trends to help you find a modest swimsuit style that helps you look and feel your best. 

 

The “Rise” of Modest Swimwear

Flatlay of a variety of modest swimsuits from Lime Ricki

While there's always been a demand for modest swimwear, it's no longer considered a niche market as more and more women look for swimsuits that offer more coverage.Whether you’re having a beach day, lounging by a lake, swimming at a pool, playing at a waterpark, participating in water sports or something else that calls for a swimsuit, we’ve got you covered. Our range of mix-and-match tankinis and one-pieces are perfect if you’re looking to marry fashion with function.

No matter the reason--whether personal preference, cultural, religious or a bit of all three, our modest swim styles provide the coverage, comfort and security you're looking for in a swimsuit.


Trend 1: Tankinis

Whether you’re keen to mix or match, the fun of a tankini (much like a bikini) is its versatility. From solids to prints to neutrals and pops of color, you get the coverage you’re after with the convenience of a two-piece. 

At Lime Ricki, we have 3 tankini top styles to choose from: a traditional tankini, a crop or bralette, or a peplum. We even have rash guards if that modest swim style is of interest. 

Note: All styles are size-inclusive and offer built-in support.

Our traditional tankinis come in different cuts and offer both thick and thin straps, a variety of necklines, and other design details that allow you to find a swim style you’ll really love.

Our crop and bralette styles are perfect if you’re wanting a more modest bikini or a more modern tankini. Plus, while these tops are made for swimming and water activities, we also really love them as workout-wear, so you’re getting a little two for one. We offer different lengths, strap types, and necklines in our favorite fun and feminine prints.

Our peplum tankini tops are our most flirty and more feminine silhouettes while also offering coverage and support. Swimwear but make it fashion, right?

In terms of modest swim bottoms, we offer four styles: classic, high-waist, skirts, and shorts. Swim skirts are particularly trendy right now among those who want coverage but also like for their swimwear to feel like a complete ‘fit. The cut of our swim skirts is really effortlessly chic if we do say so ourselves. 

The top 3 reasons to choose a tankini: 

  1. Style versatility
  2. Comfort + coverage
  3. Practicality 
Tankinis are the top trend for a reason. They’re easy to put on and take off (even while wet), they check all the modest bathing suit boxes, and they’re personalizable in terms of style.

Trend 2: One-pieces

Typically when we think about modest swimwear, we think one-pieces. Other retailers tend to make their one-piece designs more matronly or maternity-exclusive which is just unnecessarily limiting. One-pieces have long been associated with elegance, sophistication, and athleticism. They give full coverage while being feminine. 

These sleek, stylish suits are gaining popularity for a few reasons: 

  • They’re classic. From retro-inspired looks to modern, minimalist designs, one-piece suits will never go out of style. 
  • Seamless support and structure. Features like built-in bust support, quality fabrics, design construction, and more all enhance comfort and provide a flattering fit for all body types. 
  • They’re activity-friendly. For those of us who enjoy active beach days, one-piece swimsuits offer the security needed for swimming, surfing, or playing beach volleyball. Their snug fit ensures they stay in place, allowing for worry-free movement.


At Lime Ricki, we have a few cuts to choose from: traditional one-pieces, knotted one-pieces, swim dresses, or one-piece rash guards. The details of each style vary, featuring different strap styles, necklines, accents, and more. You really can’t go wrong with a one-piece modest swimsuit.

 

Trend 3: Colors + Prints

You’ll always find bright, bold colors, graphic patterns, and pretty, unique prints at Lime Ricki, but we also have a range of more subtle, simple suits to choose from. After all, the little details are what sets something apart! In our opinion, summer is for having fun, and we like to have fun with color. 

 

Trend 4: Suits That’ll Last More Than a Season

When you shop at specialty modest swim stores, you can trust that you’ll take home something treated with the utmost TLC. We only use quality fabrics and trims and our small-batch suits are constructed sustainably in responsible factories to reduce environmental impact. 

We do not order over-stock fabric so we can reduce excess yardage, and we look for creative ways to use remnants, like making hair scrunchies, or using it for prototypes in the design process. It's important to us to be as responsible as we can throughout the manufacturing process.

 

Finding the Perfect Fit: Modest Swimsuit Edition

This modest swim “trend” won’t end anytime soon. At Lime Ricki, you’ll find modest swims made for every body that’ll help you look and feel your best no matter what water activity is on the agenda.

The Best Nursing-Friendly Swimsuits for Breastfeeding Moms

The Best Nursing-Friendly Swimsuits for Breastfeeding Moms

 

Shopping for swimsuits when you’re pregnant is one thing; shopping for swimsuits when you’re nursing that little human is a whole other animal. Fortunately, nursing-friendly swimwear does exist for breastfeeding mamas—you just have to know what to look for!

That’s where our team comes in. We want you to enjoy your busy, on-the-go summer at the beach or pool without feeling panicked about how you’re going to feed your child comfortably in public. Here, we’ll talk about our favorite nursing swimsuits and features to search for so you don’t have to compromise comfort or style.

Factors to Consider

The swimwear market is flooded with several options, which can make the task of choosing a nursing-friendly swimsuit feel overwhelming. To guide you in the right direction, consider these things:

Functionality: Nursing swimwear should be thoughtfully designed with convenient options like removable or easy-to-untie straps. The key is to choose a swimsuit that suits your preferences, ensuring you won't have to struggle with removing a damp suit each time your child is hungry, only to put it back on after feeding time is over.

Color/Patterns: It's no secret that milk tends to leak. Opting for certain shades and patterns, particularly darker and/or busier ones, proves to be more resilient against the unavoidable, good-ol’ spills and leaks often linked with nursing. 

Adjustability: As your body adjusts to postpartum life, choosing a nursing swimsuit with adjustable straps ensures a snug fit that can adapt to changes in the months ahead.

Now for the fun part: specific examples!

Tankini Tops

A tankini top with built-in cups is one of the most popular choices for breastfeeding moms. This nursing swim top offers the convenience of easy access for feeding while providing the coverage and support every mom desires. Plus, thanks to the cups, you can easily put nursing pads in. Look for adjustable straps and stretchy fabrics to accommodate changing breast sizes.

Halter-Style

Speaking of adjustable straps, we are big fans of halter-style swimsuits for nursing mamas! The halter-neck design typically involves ties or a clasp at the back of the neck, allowing easy and quick access to the chest for breastfeeding. This feature makes it convenient to feed without having to remove the entire swimsuit. The adjustable neck ties also provide a customizable fit, which is—again—particularly helpful for changing breast sizes. Finally, halter-style nursing swimsuits offer good coverage around the chest area, which is especially helpful if you’re not used to your new cup size yet. Confidence and comfort? Check and check.

Adjustable Shoulder Ties

Similarly, adjustable shoulder ties or straps function the same way—there are just two of them instead of one. Shoulder ties allow for a customizable fit, easy access, and versatility. What’s nice about having two ties is you can leave one side done up while nursing on the opposite side and then switch to the other, ensuring more coverage if you’re in public.

One Shoulder

The asymmetrical design of a one-shoulder nursing swimsuit provides easy access to the breast for nursing. Moms can simply lower the shoulder strap (or untie it if it’s adjustable!) on the side they intend to nurse, allowing for discreet and convenient breastfeeding without having to remove the entire swimsuit. Plus, the one-shoulder design offers support and coverage that many nursing mamas prefer.

Zip-Front

A zip-front nursing swim top is a practical choice for obvious reasons! This style features a front zipper, allowing you to adjust the opening for breastfeeding while providing a trendy and sporty look. Opt for high-quality zippers and durable fabric, and you’re in business.

Runner-Ups: Wrap-Style and Deep V-Neck

Similar to many nursing bras, a wrap-style nursing swimsuit is a great alternative. The wraparound design allows for easy access on both sides. A deep V-neck style also grants easy access. Our only qualm with these styles is the low-cut design, leaving chances for a different kind of spillage with your changing breast size. If ample coverage is not a worry to you, then go for it! We love to see a postpartum mama with confidence at the pool. If you want more modest options, however, Lime Ricki has got you covered—literally.

Fashion meets function in the design of the Lime Ricki Crew. The light pink hue is versatile and pairs easily with many other shades and pieces from our collections to create different outfits. The "Lime Ricki" embroidery adds a playful and chic element to the sweatshirt, and the embroidery is done with precision and high-quality craftsmanship, ensuring that it remains intact even after numerous wears and washes.

Packing List: Best Swimsuits for Summer Getaways

Whether your summer vacation involves a tropical island, a mountain getaway, or a city adventure, we've got you covered with the ultimate packing list to make your trip unforgettable. From the best swimsuits for summer to chic swimwear accessories, our guide has everything you need to enjoy your sun-drenched holiday. And don't just take our word for it – we put this list to the test on our recent getaway for The Sisters Collection photoshoot, where we modeled our new mix and match swimwear. So rest assured, our tips are tried and true!

  1. Outfits: When packing your outfits, prioritizing comfort and versatility will help you make the most of your trip. Choose a selection of lightweight tops such as tank tops, t-shirts, and loose blouses, which you can pair with shorts, skirts, or trousers. Versatile sundresses are also great for transitioning from day to night. And don’t forget pajamas!

  2. Undergarments: When packing undergarments, opt for breathable fabrics to stay comfortable in the heat. Nude or seamless options are ideal for wearing under light-colored or sheer clothing. You’ll also want to pack a few pairs of comfortable and supportive bras or bralettes that suit different outfit styles, and a few pairs of socks.

  3. Swimwear: As long as you're traveling when it's warm, pack at least one swimsuit just in case. Even if lounging by the pool isn't on your itinerary, you may find that you need a rest day from the jet lag, and the perfect place to spend it is by the water! This keeps you from having to spend quite a bit of money on a swimsuit at a store in a different country, or worse, a hotel gift shop, where you have limited options and a high price tag. Check out our mix and match swimwear (link 2) to find the best swimsuits for summer!

  4. Toiletries: Depending on your accommodation, you may not need to bring all your toiletries. Hotels usually provide shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner, but if you're renting a place, you'll need to pack these items yourself. Regardless of where you stay, remember to bring any additional necessities like contact lenses and solution, toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, mouthwash, facial cleansers, razors, hairspray, brushes, deodorant, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, hair tools, and makeup.

  5. Shoes: When packing for a trip, choose neutral shoes that can be worn with multiple outfits to save space. Bring a pair of hiking boots or sneakers for physical activities and heels or wedges for dinner. If you’ll be hitting the beach or pool, some comfortable slides are always a good idea – shop our accessories page to see our options. Packing minimally and focusing on versatility will help keep your luggage light!

  6. Medications: If you take medication, make sure you pack enough for your trip. You'll also want to bring pain and cold/allergy meds, and any supplements or vitamins you take.

  7. Electronics and Chargers: If you are packing an e-book reader, tablet, or laptop, make sure to pack the chargers for those along with your phone charger. If you plan on hiking or exercising, you may want to bring headphones or a watch.

Your getaway essentials will vary depending on your trip, but this is a good start to your packing list. Now that you’re armed with the perfect list, you're ready to embrace the sun and make unforgettable memories on your summer vacation. Whether you're lounging on sandy shores, trekking through lush landscapes, or immersing yourself in local culture, these summer getaway essentials will ensure you have a stress-free and fashionable vacation!
