Rashguard or long rashguard: know the two cuts

Pepla's range is built around rashguards, and the name tells you which cut you are looking at. The word Long is the clue.

A Pepla Rashguard, like the Navy Solid or the Resort, is a fitted one-piece bodysuit. Pepla designs it for a sporty surfer look, for water sports and active beach days. A Pepla Long Rashguard, like the Galaxy or the Mural, is a long-fitted piece for women who want extra coverage. Pepla gives it a high-performance zipper and a stretch fabric that moves with you.

Most rashguards come in sizes S to 2XL, and several long rashguards go up to 3XL or 4XL.

Build a modest swim outfit piece by piece

Every Pepla piece is sold on its own, so you can build the outfit you want.

• Swim turban: Pepla's two-strap design keeps your hair in place during active swims and lets you add volume on top. It comes in one size.
• Swim skirt: the Long Swim Skirt gives extended coverage, and the Short Swim Skirt works as a finishing layer. Both use black-dyed swimwear fabric.
• Board short: the Navy Board Short has a loose shape that flares outward.
• Cover-up: a light tulle layer in black or coffee that you wear over your swimwear. Pepla says its quick-dry mesh dries in minutes after a swim.

If you are new to Pepla, start with a Long Rashguard for the most coverage and add a swim turban. Then add a skirt if you want more coverage below. You can also compare other brands in burkinis and rashguards.
