I already prefer a rash guard and swimshorts, which for me make a lot more sense than a low-coverage suit plus constantly trying to cover up, apply sunscreen, find shade etc. I think I’ll stick with shorts for now because the light nylon dries quickly, but this is a good option to know about. Thanks April! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-swim-tights-leggings-i-mentioned-today#post-2321303 Fri, 05 May 2023 11:36:04 +0000 April 2321303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lyn67, I do not wear anything under the swim leggings.&nbsp; When I wear them as clothing, I put a long-sleeved tunic shirt or rash-guard on top, with a regular bra underneath.&nbsp; When I wear them in the water I wear the rashguard on top with a Genie bra underneath.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have neurological heat sensitivity so I don't go to beaches anymore, just stay close to home where I can pop into the AC when necessary.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I would caution that the stirrup leggings are more of a thick compression material; might be helpful to try a couple sizes and see what you think.&nbsp; The lighter-weight ones are my go-tos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-swim-tights-leggings-i-mentioned-today#post-2321293 Fri, 05 May 2023 07:02:49 +0000 lyn67 2321293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, these look great (stirrups, too for protecting feet, too???!!wow!)&nbsp; for snorkeling or other sports&nbsp; in the water, hope not being mean to ask, but&nbsp; are you wearing other briefs under them? And are your tops the same fabric?&nbsp;</p> <p>I saw and palped kind of these (probable not exactly...) in sports gear retail but never dared to try any of them on our&nbsp; a few-days-long only beach vacations/year:-(, as I always thought will feel restricting and stuffed on my body...(sooo wrong I see now). Think should be great for&nbsp; SUP,&nbsp; too (we wear rashguard tops, shorts and hats only)- and, do you stay all day long in these on the beach-or change to swimsuits or other?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-swim-tights-leggings-i-mentioned-today#post-2321286 Fri, 05 May 2023 03:34:03 +0000 Anonymous 2321286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got a new Lands End catalog and it has lots of swim stuff incuding swim leggings and skirted swim leggings. They are available in six colors including blues , black, emerald, turquoise and an electric blue swirl. &nbsp;I am looking for deep sea navy tank tops that are not swim tops with built in bras. &nbsp;Their radiant navy clashes with the deep sea navy so does not work. &nbsp;I ordered it to try and it is all wrong. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-swim-tights-leggings-i-mentioned-today#post-2321280 Fri, 05 May 2023 01:12:13 +0000 Jaime 2321280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very tempting!

I have never even heard of such a thing as swim leggings! I can't really imagine wearing leggings to swim in, in our hot and humid summers. I suppose I could see it for more of a wetsuit-type purpose in cooler waters. Our summers send me looking for less fabric touching my skin, not more, LOL!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-swim-tights-leggings-i-mentioned-today#post-2321218 Thu, 04 May 2023 12:26:41 +0000 Indigoprint 2321218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the link. I typically stop wearing leggings once the temps get higher than 70, but I do miss them during those warmer months. This might be just what I need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-swim-tights-leggings-i-mentioned-today#post-2321217 Thu, 04 May 2023 12:17:42 +0000 Anonymous 2321217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was swimming in my old Athleta leggings when the heater was broken in the pool- and they didn't fade with the chlorine! They weren't uncomfortable to swim in, but glad the pool is fixed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-swim-tights-leggings-i-mentioned-today#post-2321216 Thu, 04 May 2023 11:35:47 +0000 Vildy 2321216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting.&nbsp; Had never heard of these.&nbsp; Do you live where the humidity is low? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-swim-tights-leggings-i-mentioned-today#post-2321215 Thu, 04 May 2023 11:33:05 +0000 April 2321215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>are these:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.coolibar.com/women-s-swim-tights-upf-50-1.html">https://www.coolibar.com/women.....-50-1.html</a></p> <p>I also have their stirrup style that protects the tops of your feet from the sun, but those are much thicker and more compressing.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The lighter weight ones are now my go-to summer bottoms, under a tunic, rashguard, or other covered-up top. </p>
