The best swim set is not just about finding a cute print. It is about finding the right combination of pieces that work together, flatter your body, and keep up with everything your day has planned. At Watskin, the mix and match system was designed with exactly that in mind. Here is how to build your perfect swim set from the water up.

Start With Your Top

Your swim top sets the tone for the whole look. Watskin offers two distinct options depending on your coverage preference and personal style.

The Sasha Long Sleeve Tee is the brand's most iconic swim top. It fits close to the body, hits at the waist, and features a signature side zipper detail that makes it look intentional whether you are mid-swim or walking to lunch. The long sleeve design offers maximum UPF50+ coverage for women who want full arm protection without sacrificing style. It comes in solid colors including black, red, and a wide range of prints including Blue leopard and our new Wavy Stripe print, so there is a colorway for every mood and destination.

If you prefer a more casual style, the Piper Short Sleeve tee is the answer. Cute, modern, and equally UPF50+ protected, it pairs beautifully with any bottom in the collection and gives you the flexibility to pair with a jean for other day time activities.

Choose Your Bottom

Once you have your top, it is time to find your perfect sun protective swim bottom. The Belle Bikini Bottom is Watskin's most versatile style and for good reason. Available in more colorways and prints than any other piece in the collection, it is the bottom that goes with everything. Mid-rise with a flattering cut, it works equally well as a standalone swim bottom or paired as a set.

For women who prefer more coverage, the Aria High Waist Bikini Brief is the elevated alternative. The high waist silhouette sculpts and flatters while delivering the same UPF50+ protection as the rest of the collection. Available in Leopard and Black, it is a sleek, polished option that looks just as good out of the water as it does in it.

Mix, Match, and Make It Yours

The beauty of building a Watskin swim set is that the mix and match possibilities are genuinely endless. Keep it tonal by pairing the Sasha Tee and Belle Bottom in the same print for a clean, coordinated look. Or contrast a bold printed top with a solid bottom for a more editorial feel. The Mia ½ Zip Pullover in white with a black Belle Bottom is a fan favorite combination that works every time.
