Swimming shirts/wet suit

What are you guys wearing to the beach or pool after you have lost some considerable amount of weight but have not had skin removal and the skin has not tightened.

I lost about a hundred pounds so far, still have a few more to go but I'll be going to Florida in about 6 months and I'll be going to many pools this spring/summer with my newborn. Are there any decent swim wet shirts or wet suits shirts that do a decent job hiding imperfections such as loose skin, still some fat and moobs?

I am not a fan of regular t-shirts because they get so heavy, stretch out and suction to your body. I get wet suits clings to your body but if it hides imperfections then it's worth it. Regular Ts def do not.

I'd be interested in some options too!

What about a rash guard? I always made my son wear one so he didn’t get burned. They are like compressive tees


I third, plus most have SPF to protect your skin, too.

Ditto, rash-guards are what you are looking for.

Thanks I'll look in to them. Does any one have any suggestions on best brands and places to go and try them on?


Lands End

I wear a swim "shirt". It is short sleeved and it has a nice V neck and singe sides for added style. It isn't tight like a rash guard which I like. I bought mine from Lands End a few years ago.

Old navy has a couple really cute ones this season! Although, it was in the plus section. Not sure where you all are right now.

I second Lands End! Great quality and variety and an open ended no questions asked return policy!


Oneill swim shirts(rash) on Amazon. They have a wide variety of sizes and styles. I have a few.

40% off all men’s swim at Lands End with the code BLUE

Got that in an email today!


DXL has a Harbor Bay swim shirt? Or maybe they classify it as a athletic tee? Anyways it’s great for a multitude of uses. It’s breathes really well and stays put in the water. Also a great workout shirt & it dries really quick. It’s worth a look.
