Burkinis with Skirt

A burkini with a skirt adds a soft layer of coverage over the hips and seat, while the trousers underneath keep every stroke free. The wrap skirt set gives a dress-like look at the pool or beach, the ring-detail wrap set comes in burgundy, chocolate, black and navy, and the sporty 3-piece set has a shorter skirt for swimming lengths.

Complete the look with a swim hijab, or compare every style in our burkini collection and swim sets.

Wrap skirt or sport style?

The wrap skirt burkini set gives the most coverage: the skirt falls over the hips like a dress, which feels easy at the beach, at the pool and around family. The ring-detail wrap set brings the same idea in deeper, dressier tones. The sport burkini 3-piece set keeps a shorter skirt, so it suits swimming lengths, water sports and busy days with children. If you prefer one long line, have a look at our swim dresses; our guide swim dress vs burkini compares the two.

Solids, prints and the swim hood

Solids run from mauve, lilac and sage to mustard, coral and denim blue, while the prints include black mosaic, navy petal, teal floral and black baroque. Where a set includes a swim hood, it is a separate piece rather than sewn to the top, so you can adjust it or wear a different swim hijab instead. For more sizes, browse plus size swimwear.

Care and pool rules

Rinse your burkini in cool fresh water after chlorine or salt water, then dry it flat in the shade and skip the tumble dryer. Swimwear rules differ from pool to pool, so it is worth checking with yours before your first visit.

Frequently asked questions

Can you swim in a burkini with a skirt?

Yes. The skirt sits over the trousers, so your legs move freely in the water. For swimming lengths, the sport style with its shorter skirt feels the most streamlined.

Is the swim hood attached to the burkini?

No. Where a set includes a swim hood, it is a separate piece, so you can adjust the fit or swap in another swim hijab.

Are burkinis allowed in public pools?

Swimwear rules vary from pool to pool, so it is best to check with yours before you go.

How do I wash a burkini?

Rinse it in cool fresh water after every swim in chlorine or salt water, then dry it flat in the shade. Avoid the tumble dryer.
