A fabulous and flattering swimsuit from a quality brand is a major score (hint: check out some of our favorite swim brands here). You might have a high-waist bikini for a beach getaway or a one-piece maillot for swimming laps, but sometimes you want something with a little more coverage. Whether for sun protection against harmful rays, a barrier against the wind on the water, or just extra coverage for water activities, a long-sleeve swimsuit is a convenient option to have in your swim arsenal—and yes, there are some stylish ones out there (tip: some can be styled as a bodysuit with a skirt or jeans).

Long-sleeve suits come in a range of designs. There are zippered one-piece options, two-piece sets that still show a hint of skin, and even long-sleeve tops that can be mixed and matched with your own bottoms. Typically worn by surfers, rash guards are essentially swim shirts that are made of stretchy material to keep your skin protected against sun, wind, and other elements when you're partaking in water sports. As they don't usually offer any padding or support, they are meant to be worn over your bathing suit—and also make for an easy swim cover-up. In addition, because of their quick-drying capabilities, the swim shirts are quite versatile for other outdoor activities such as hiking or gardening.

So, to safeguard your precious skin against the sun, opt for a long-sleeve swimsuit (many are UPF50+ rated, but don't forget to apply and reapply the SPF, too). We found some great styles that will fit every body type, from supportive suits to plus-size designs, and prove that covering up looks pretty cool.
