Long sleeve swimwear is making a splash! With growing awareness around skincare and wellness, more women are prioritizing swimwear that protects their skin from harmful UV rays—without compromising on style.
That’s where Watskin comes in! Inspired by real life experiences, Watskin was created to empower sophisticated women of all ages to love the sun, safely, comfortably and confidently. Watskin combines chic designs with UPF50+ fabric that keeps you protected anywhere under the sun.
And the media agrees—Watskin’s long sleeve swimwear is getting major press attention.
Why Long Sleeve Swimsuits Are a Must-Have for Every Season
Long sleeve swimwear isn’t just for summer. It offers year-round comfort and versatility, so you can stay protected anywhere under the sun.
In the summer, long sleeve swimwear protects your skin from harmful UV rays with breathable, quick-dry fabrics that keep you cool. In cooler seasons, it adds warmth for sunset strolls on the beach, early-morning swims, or evening dips in the pool. Long sleeve swimwear combines fashion with function, ensuring your skin stays protected without sacrificing style.
No matter the season, sun protective swimwear is always in style.
Press Favorites: Watskin is Making Waves in the Media
Watskin is redefining what it means to wear sun-safe clothing. Don’t believe us? Here’s what the press is saying saying about our best-selling long sleeve swimsuits and rashguards:
Lola Bodysuit - Glamour Magazine
“This sleek bodysuit looks just as good poolside as it does in the water. I never thought I’d be rocking a long-sleeve swimsuit, but I’m genuinely obsessed with this Watskin piece. It fits like a glove, flatters in all the right places, and even keeps me warm when my little ones insist on leaving the cozy kids’ pool for the not-heated adult side. Made from UPF 50+ fabric and designed with plenty of stretch, it’s so soft and moves with you, whether you’re surfing, swimming with the kids, or jumping into a game of beach volleyball. I also love the full-length zipper for easy on and off and adjustable coverage, as well as the built-in hood for extra protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays and warmth when the sun sets.” - Glamour Magazine
Mia 1/2 Zip Pullover - Oprah Daily
Oprah Daily named the Mia 1/2 Zip Pullover the “Best Rashguard” in the 2025 Sun O-wards and here’s what they have to say about it:

Prints like tweed texture, midnight florals, and this chic stripe make them a must-have in our book, as well as Marchbein’s. “I wore my Watskin rashguard on a recent family surfing trip in Costa Rica, and it kept me protected all day,” she says.” - Oprah Daily
