Sun Protection Tips for Wintertime

Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean the sun isn’t just as dangerous! Whether you’re hitting the slopes, heading to a tropical getaway, or enjoying the crisp outdoors, protecting your skin from UV rays is a year-round priority. Fun fact: snow and water can actually reflect the sun’s rays, making sun protection just as important in winter as in summer. Here are some easy-to-follow SPF tips and full coverage swimwear options to keep your skin safe while you’re out enjoying the season. After all, we've heard we have some of the best UV swimwear.

Lime Ricki Swimwear for Sun-Savvy Style

Keeping your skin protected in the winter from the sun doesn’t mean sacrificing style! That’s why we offer full coverage swimwear options that help shield your skin from harmful rays. Here are a few ideas for staying safe while looking fabulous:

High-Neck Swimsuits for Higher Levels of Coverage

A high neck swim top is a chic and functional choice, offering more coverage for your chest—a key area often exposed to the sun. Our high neck tankinis are designed with double-straps that crisscross in the back and a high neckline for supportive coverage and all day comfort you'll love. Our Swimsuit Recommendation: the Cottage Floral Double-Cinch Tankini Swim Top

Swim Cover-Ups That Work Overtime

Our stylish swimsuit cover ups aren’t just for lounging! Coverups provide an extra barrier from the sun when you’re out of the water. A lightweight beach cover up can provide more protection from the winter sun than you might think, so why not wear one with a little bit of fun or a bold pop of color? Our Cover Up Recommendation: the Orange Kaftan

Rash Guards That Really Protect

Perfect for everything from lounging poolside to snorkeling adventures, our long-sleeve swim tops provide extra sun coverage without compromising on style. Heading to a waterpark or catching winter waves? A rash guard is your BFF for full upper-body coverage and all-day sun protection. Our One-Piece Recommendation: the Daisy Patch Retro One-Piece Rash Guard

Tips for Winter Sun Protection

  1. Apply SPF Daily Even on cloudy or chilly days, UV rays can penetrate and cause damage. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and make it part of your morning routine. Winter air can be harsh on your skin, so look for formulas that include ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides.
  2. Don’t Forget the High-Risk Areas Your face, neck, hands, and lips are especially vulnerable in winter. Use a lip balm with SPF and reapply often, especially if you’re spending time outdoors.
  3. Reapply Sunscreen After Water Activities If you're at a winter hot spring or tropical beach, remember to reapply sunscreen after swimming or sweating—even if it’s labeled waterproof.
  4. Protection Beyond Sunscreen Don’t rely on SPF alone. Cover up with UV swimwear and accessories like wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses to give your skin an extra layer of defense.

Why Sun Protection Matters All Year Long

UV rays don’t take a break, and neither should your sun care routine. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, taking a tropical winter getaway, or enjoying a crisp mountain hike, we’re here to help you protect your skin in style. So, grab your favorite sunscreen, throw on some Lime Ricki swimwear, and enjoy all the adventures winter has to offer—safely and sun-smart!

2025 Plus Size Swimwear Trends

2025 Plus Size Swimwear Trends

As we look toward 2025, the future of plus size swimwear is brighter and bolder than ever! We’re all about embracing confidence, style, and self-love, and we know that swimwear should make every woman feel like the most radiant version of herself. Get ready to turn heads and feel amazing in the latest swimwear trends designed to celebrate your curves in all the right ways. From vibrant colors to chic details, here’s what’s making waves in plus size swimwear for 2025.

Bold Colors & Standout Prints

2025 is all about expressing yourself through color, and trust us—this is the year to go big! Think vivid shades like electric blue, sunset orange, and radiant pinks that make you feel like a walking piece of art. Pair these colors with bold, playful prints, and you’ve got yourself a show-stopping look. Florals, tropical patterns, and geometric designs are set to be major this season, bringing energy and personality to every piece. And the best part? Vibrant colors and eye-catching prints are flattering on everyone, adding a fun, fresh twist to your swim style.

High-Waisted Bottoms: Comfort Meets Classic

High-waisted bottoms aren’t going anywhere—and we’re not mad about it! This timeless trend is a favorite for a reason: it’s ultra-flattering and provides just the right amount of coverage, making you feel both comfortable and chic. Whether you’re pairing them with a tankini top, a bandeau, or a crop top-style bikini, high-waisted bottoms are here to keep you looking sleek and sophisticated all summer long.

Asymmetrical & One-Shoulder Styles

Say hello to one of the most stylish swim trends of 2025: asymmetrical and one-shoulder designs. This look adds a bit of unexpected flair, showing off just the right amount of skin while keeping things classy. It’s an easy way to add a fashion-forward edge to your beach wardrobe, perfect for anyone who wants to step up their swim game. Plus, this silhouette is super flattering on a variety of body types, offering a unique, playful twist that’s as comfortable as it is stylish.

Elevated Sporty Vibes

In 2025, sporty swimwear is all about mixing athletic vibes with high-fashion flair. Think color-blocked suits, sleek lines, and zipper details that bring a modern edge. These pieces offer great support and comfort and are perfect for days when you’re hitting the beach, going for a swim, or even just lounging with friends. Sporty styles that offer full coverage but don’t compromise on style are perfect for active beach days—and they’re totally Instagram-worthy, too!

Sustainable Swimwear: Look Good, Feel Good

Sustainability continues to be a major focus in fashion, and swimwear is no exception. More and more brands are embracing eco-friendly fabrics and ethical production practices. We hope to lead the way with plus size swimwear options that are stylish, durable, and kind to the planet. To learn more about our eco-friendly swimsuit materials read more about sustainable swimwear from Lime Ricki. From recycled materials to ethical manufacturing processes, sustainable swimwear is the way forward—and who doesn’t love a suit that looks good and does good?

Textures & Unique Fabrics

Texture is making a splash this year with swimwear that’s not only eye-catching but also fun to wear. Ribbed fabrics, smocking, and ruching add depth to solid colors and make each piece feel unique and luxurious. These subtle details make simple designs feel extra special, giving you that little boost of confidence when you step out in your suit. And the best part? Textured fabrics tend to be ultra-comfortable and move with you, making them perfect for all-day wear.

Ways to Get In The Water This Winter

For water lovers, winter can feel like a long stretch of dry land. And if you find yourself missing the feeling of slipping into your favorite swimsuit, we’ve got good news: there are plenty of ways to get your water fix, even when the weather’s a little chilly. Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, here are some creative ways to embrace aquatic fun this winter season.

3 Ways to Swim in Style This Winter

1. Indoor Pools & Waterparks: Plan a Hotel Staycation
No beach? No problem! Indoor pools and waterparks are a great way to escape the cold while still diving into your favorite activities. Book a night at a local hotel with a pool, or spend a day riding waterslides and floating in lazy rivers. 

What to Wear: Layer one of your favorite rash guards under a cozy sweatshirt paired with swim bottoms under joggers for an easy transition from lounging to splashing.

2. Hot Springs: Plan a Romantic Getaway
Nothing beats soaking in a steaming natural hot spring while surrounded by crisp winter air. Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend or a fun girls’ trip, hot springs are equal parts relaxing and rejuvenating. Bonus points if there’s snow on the ground—it makes the contrast even more magical.

What to Wear: Choose a sleek, comfortable swim top that’s made for soaking (and stunning in vacation photos for Insta). Try one of our peplum swim tops with a classic bikini bottom or boy short.

3. Sensory Deprivation Tanks & Spas: Plan a Day of Self-Care
Need a little zen in your life? Treat yourself to a day of relaxation with a sensory deprivation float or spa session. Floating in warm, buoyant water is like a mini vacation for your mind and body—and it’s perfect for combating winter stress.

What to Wear: Go for a streamlined suit that’s spa-friendly and super comfy. We recommend full coverage one-piece swimsuits.

Embrace the Winter Water Vibes

Winter doesn’t have to mean saying goodbye to your love of water activities. From spa days to indoor adventures, there are plenty of ways to make a splash even when it’s chilly outside. So, grab your favorite Lime Ricki swimsuit, plan an outing (or staycation), and dive into the water—because winter fun is what you make it! If you're a reach beach bum, but the rest of the fam is insisting on a winter excursion somewhere with snow, don't worry! We can make a few recommendations for locations that offer the best of both worlds. Check out our list of winter travel destinations for swimwear lovers to popular places like hot springs and plan a trip to a winter destination with water activities!

Even when you're not getting in the water, who says your favorite swimsuit can’t make an appearance in your winter wardrobe? Try pairing a Lime Ricki swim top with high-waisted leggings or layer a one-piece rash guard under a cozy cardigan. Many of our Lime Ricki styles work well as yoga swimwear or versatile activewear—perfect for layering under leggings, oversized sweaters, even your ski gear! Whether you're hitting a yoga class or hitting the slopes, swimwear can add a splash of fun to your look without you even getting wet.

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!

These pieces of swimwear aren’t just about coverage—they’re also about fit. Our designs are made with real bodies in mind, meaning they’re designed to flatter every shape and size.

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!

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.

Matching Sets Are Having a Moment

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!

The best part about matching sets? When trends change, you can mix and match to your heart’s content! Want to stick with a coordinated look? Try pairing our PrintFresh x Lime Ricki Tiger Queen One-Shoulder Crop Top with the matching Tiger Queen High-Waist Bottom. Looking to mix things up? You can always swap in a solid or complementary piece for a personalized twist. The possibilities are endless, and we love seeing how our community creates unique looks using our swimwear.
