NAIA Beach Size Guide
NAIA Beach is a premium swimwear and resort wear brand that believes fit never goes out of fashion. Every piece in the NAIA collection is fitted and tested a minimum of 5 times to ensure perfect fit. The brand specializes in high-quality bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, and resort wear designed for the modern woman who values both comfort and style. NAIA offers separable bikini tops and bottoms for complete customisation, signature 'Subtle Sculpt' technology for comfortable stomach control on selected styles, and a range of coverage and support options including removable pads, built-in cups, and hidden shelves. NAIA collections are designed for women seeking premium swimwear that combines elegance with practical comfort.
Sizing Philosophy
NAIA Beach swimwear fits true to size. The brand uses UK sizing across all collections, but provides international conversion charts for customers shopping in US, European, French, Italian, and Australian sizes. If you find yourself between sizes, NAIA recommends sizing up in all styles to ensure comfortable wear throughout the day. Each style may vary slightly, so checking individual product recommendations is advised.
How to Measure
To find your perfect NAIA Beach size, follow these measurement steps. Use a soft measuring tape and wear minimal or no clothing for accuracy. Measure yourself in the evening when your body is at its typical size, as measurements can vary throughout the day.
- Bust Measurement: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the ground and ensuring it passes under your arms and across your shoulder blades. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
- Waist Measurement: Measure around the slimmest part of your natural waistline, typically where your body creases when you bend slightly forwards or where you find it most comfortable to wear your waistband. Avoid pulling the tape too tightly.
- Hip Measurement: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, keeping the tape parallel to the ground. This measurement is particularly important for bikini briefs and one-piece swimsuits.
- Cup Size (for Bikini Tops): To determine your cup size, subtract your underbust measurement (just below your bust) from your full bust measurement. Each inch of difference equals one cup size (A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, FF, etc.).
- Reference Your Measurements: Once you have all three measurements, cross-reference them with the appropriate size chart below to find your UK size, then use the international sizing guide to convert to your preferred sizing system.
- Consider Coverage and Support: Different NAIA styles offer varying levels of coverage and support. Review individual product descriptions to determine which features best suit your preferences, such as Subtle Sculpt technology, removable pads, or hidden shelf support.

NAIA Swimwear Features & Technology
NAIA Beach swimwear incorporates several design features to enhance comfort and fit:
- Subtle Sculpt: Selected styles feature NAIA's proprietary Subtle Sculpt technology, which provides comfortable stomach control without feeling restrictive. This feature is ideal for customers seeking gentle shaping.
- Separable Bikinis: Tops and bottoms are sold separately, allowing complete customisation. You can pair any top size with any bottom size to achieve your perfect fit.
- Support Options: Different styles offer varying levels of support. Some feature removable pads for customizable coverage, others include built-in cups for structured support, and select styles incorporate hidden shelf support for enhanced lift and shape.
- Coverage Varieties: NAIA offers multiple styles with different coverage levels. Whether you prefer minimal coverage or more comprehensive designs, there's a NAIA style to suit your preference.
- Premium Construction: All NAIA pieces undergo rigorous fitting and testing (a minimum of 5 times) to ensure quality and perfect fit before reaching customers.
Sizing Tips
- Size Up If Between Sizes: If your measurements fall between two sizes, NAIA recommends sizing up in all styles. This ensures comfortable wear throughout the day and accommodates natural body fluctuations.
- Mix and Match Bikinis: Since bikini tops and bottoms are sold separately, don't feel restricted to buying the same size for both. If you're typically a UK 12 on top but a UK 14 on the bottom, purchase accordingly for optimal comfort and fit.
- Check Individual Product Guidance: Although NAIA swimwear fits true to size overall, some individual styles may have specific sizing recommendations. Always consult product-specific sizing notes before purchasing.
- Measure in the Evening: Your body size naturally fluctuates throughout the day. Take your measurements in the evening when your body is at its typical size, ensuring your purchased swimwear will fit comfortably during normal wear.
- Consider Your Support Needs: Different NAIA styles offer varying levels of support. If you prefer maximum support, look for styles with built-in cups or hidden shelf technology. If you prefer customizable support, select styles with removable pads.
- Test the Subtle Sculpt: If you're interested in subtle stomach control, seek out NAIA styles featuring the Subtle Sculpt technology. Try this feature if you haven't experienced it before, as many customers find it provides comfortable shaping without restriction.
- Account for Different Coverage: NAIA offers varying coverage styles from classic bikinis to more comprehensive one-piece designs. Consider your personal preference for coverage when selecting a style, and remember that coverage can affect the overall fit perception.
- Contact NAIA's Fit Experts: If you have questions about sizing, fit, or which style would suit you best, NAIA's team of fit experts are available via the online chat function and genuinely enjoy discussing swimwear solutions.

- Bikini tops should provide comfortable support without gapping at the sides or spillage over the cups.
- Bikini bottoms should sit comfortably on your hips without riding up, sliding down, or creating visible panty lines.
- One-piece swimsuits should provide comfortable coverage through the torso with straps that sit properly on your shoulders without slipping.
