Swim Shorts Size Guide
Find your size with your hip measurement. The waist has an adjustable drawstring with about two inches of play, so your hips make the call.
| Size | Waist | Hip | US Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 24.5–26.5" | 34.5–37" | 4–6 |
| M | 26–28" | 36.5–38.5" | 6–8 |
| L | 28–30" | 38.5–40.5" | 8–10 |
| XL | 30–32" | 40.5–42.5" | 10–12 |
About the fit
True to size, with real support. These shorts are cut from a ribbed Italian swim fabric that's firmer than typical swimwear — it holds you in and keeps its shape, in and out of the water.
Because it stretches less than most swim fabric, don't plan on the fabric giving way — if you're between sizes or just prefer a more relaxed feel, size up and cinch the drawstring. You'll get the same fit at the waist with more ease everywhere else.
How to measure
- Hip: around the fullest part of your hips and seat, about 8" below your waist. This is the number that picks your size.
- Waist: around the narrowest point, usually just above the navel.
Description
The Swim-to-Gym Short
Built for the water first — then everywhere the day goes. The Tangerine Tease is a true swim short for women: quick-dry Italian ribbed fabric, a silky-soft lining, stretch that moves with you, and coverage you don't have to think about, in deep ocean blue. Swim your laps, then keep it on for the gym, the boardwalk, or the couch. One short, zero outfit changes.
Why you'll live in it
- "Immediate YES" fit — the fabric stretches and moves, never fights you.
- Coverage that keeps up: cute without the constant readjusting.
- Stays comfy wet or dry — kayak-tested, lake-approved (her words, not ours).
- Chlorine-resistant ribbed fabric that looks as good at coffee as it does poolside.
- Rated 4.8★ by Citra Girls across the Tangerine Tease family.
Fit & Sizing
- Both models are 5'1" and wear a size S.
- A real adjustable drawstring — rare in women's swim shorts, standard on ours. Cinch it once and it stays put through swim strokes and squats alike.
- Between sizes? Size up and tighten. The drawstring makes the fit yours, not the size chart's.
- Flattering mid rise with medium coverage — "a little more coverage but still cute," as one reviewer put it.
- Still deciding? The Size Guide has exact measurements.
