Size chart

Below you will find our size charts to help you to select a size.

Adults

We would recommend taking your measurements (bust and waist), using our instructions on how to measure yourself, and compare these to our size chart below. Here are some sizing recommendations:

All measurements are in inches.
SWIMWEAR
- Please refer to our fit and modesty guide for further details of our full coverage styles and how they fit.
- We would recommend sizing up if you are in between sizes (or at the very top of a size bracket) or require a looser or more modest fit.
- Our ECONYL® swimwear runs small due to the compressive nature of the fabric, so we would recommend sizing up for comfort. Please check the ‘Fabric and Features’ on the product page, for details of whether the product contains ECONYL®.
RESORTWEAR
- Our Resortwear pieces are designed with a relaxed, modest fit that comfortably covers multiple sizes. Please refer to the chart as a guide, keeping in mind the flexible and easy silhouette of each style.

*One-size Swim Bottoms covers sizes XXS-S.

The above size chart is given as a guide only and provides approximate measurements for a comfortable fit. If you prefer a looser or more modest fit, or you are in-between sizes, please select a size up.

Kids

We would recommend taking your child's height measurement (top of the head to heel), and comparing this to our size chart below. Here are some sizing recommendations:

All measurements are in inches (aside from height which is given in cm).
Our ECONYL® swimwear runs small due to the compressive nature of the fabric, so we would recommend sizing up for comfort. Please check the ‘Fabric and Features’ for details of whether the product contains ECONYL®.
*These are the recommended ages in years (inclusive) that this size will cover. For ages 14+ we would recommend selecting a size XXS-S from our adult Swimwear Collections, depending on your child's size. Please consult the above adult size chart for guidance on our adult Swimwear sizing.
**Swim Tights for ages 2-9 are intended to be cropped, falling between the calf and the ankle (as per the photos on the product page). Swim Tights for ages 10-13 are full length to the ankle.

If you have any questions about sizing, please send an email to contact@lanuuk.com and we are always happy to help!

About the Collection

Inspired by the quiet magic of early mornings by the sea, our SS26 collection ‘Soleil’ draws from the softness and optimism of a peach-hued sunrise. With a fresh palette of sun-warmed pastels and coastal tones, this season celebrates lightness, renewal, and the quiet strength found in nature’s transitions. Designed to evoke a sense of calm confidence and effortless elegance, each piece captures the serene beauty of daybreak, where sea meets sky and possibility begins.

Customer Reviews

Unique and stylish swim set

I purchased this set, fits lovely, great coverage around the stomach and beautiful colours. The material feels sturdy and more like a swim swt than other burkinis.

Happy with quality

This is a lovely swim dress, the quality feels great and I love how light it is. I’ve had very heavy swim dresses before, they made swimming difficult. In this model, I bought size XXL, I have a 42 inch bust, typically US 12-14, it fit quite well. Not too tight on my butt or boobs, but not too loose. I would say size chart is accurate. One star off though for the built in bra, the fit was very odd, the bra came up too high so it was only covering half the breasts and was shifting around a lot. I saw a similar comment on another model, Lula dress I think, so maybe this is a design issue. I will likely cut it off, which is unfortunate since I didn’t want to wear a bra. But I’ll keep it because overall, the quality and modesty is quite worth it. I especially like the buttons on the side to fasten to the pants, will make the swimming experience great.
