For many years, long sleeve swimwear was seen mainly in professional surfing. Today, however, the long sleeve swimsuit has become one of the most practical and stylish pieces in modern swimwear.
Combining sun protection, performance, and flattering design, long sleeve swimsuits are now a favourite for women who spend time in and around the ocean.
Here’s why a long sleeve one piece swimsuit has become a must-have for beach lovers.
Built-In Sun Protection
One of the biggest advantages of a long sleeve swimsuit is the sun protection it provides.
Traditional swimsuits leave large areas of skin exposed to UV radiation. Long sleeve designs help cover areas most prone to sun damage, including:
- shoulders
- arms
- upper back
Most long sleeve swimwear today is made with UPF 50+ fabric, which blocks around 98% of harmful UV rays.
The Sulawesi Long Sleeve Swimsuit offers full UPF 50+ protection while maintaining a flattering sculpted silhouette.
Ideal for Surfing and Water Sports
Long sleeve swimsuits are especially popular among women who enjoy water sports such as:
- surfing
- paddleboarding
- swimming
- freediving
The streamlined design reduces drag and helps the swimsuit stay securely in place during movement.
The Sulawesi Long Sleeve One Piece was designed specifically for women who want a swimsuit that stays secure while surfing or swimming.
Flattering Sculpting Design
Modern long sleeve swimsuits are designed not just for performance but also for style.
Many feature sculpting panels and shaping seams that enhance natural curves while creating a smooth, supportive silhouette.
This means you get the benefits of sun protection while still feeling confident and stylish.
Versatility Beyond the Beach
One of the most appealing features of a long sleeve swimsuit is how easily it transitions into everyday outfits.
A long sleeve one-piece can be styled as a bodysuit with:
- linen trousers
- denim shorts
- resort sarongs
This versatility makes it a valuable piece for travel and beach holidays.
Pair your long sleeve swimsuit with the Ocean Soul Resort Sarong for a relaxed coastal look.
Durable Sustainable Fabric
Many premium swimwear brands now use recycled nylon fabrics that offer improved durability and sustainability.
Ocean Soul Swimwear uses Italian ECONYL® regenerated nylon, made from recycled ocean waste and fishing nets.
This creates swimwear that:
- lasts longer
- retains shape
- supports ocean conservation
