Burkini Styles We Manufacture
Three-Piece Classic Burkini
The most widely sold configuration: a long-sleeve swim top with UPF hood, full-length swim leggings, and a mid-length swim tunic or skirt layer. The three-piece construction lets the wearer adjust coverage and styling, and the tunic layer adds an extra modesty panel over the leggings without restricting movement in water.
Construction: flatlock seams throughout for comfort against skin. Hood is cut as part of the top or as a separate attached piece. Tunic hem sits 4–8 inches below the hip. Optional thumb-loop at the cuff to keep sleeves in place while swimming.
Typical fabric: 80% nylon / 20% spandex or 82% polyester / 18% spandex, 200–230 g/m².
Best for: UK, EU, Australian and Malaysian markets. Highest volume style globally.
Two-Piece Sporty Burkini
A long-sleeve rash guard top paired with swim leggings — no outer tunic layer. This construction is preferred by active swimmers, competitive water sport participants and buyers targeting gym and aquatics club markets. Streamlined silhouette reduces drag in the water and is easier to move in for open-water swimming and water sports.
Construction: compression or relaxed fit available. Back panel often in a lighter knit mesh for ventilation without compromising coverage. Flatlock seams. Front zip from collar to mid-chest is optional on the rash guard for ease of dressing.
Typical fabric: 80% nylon / 20% spandex, 180–210 g/m². Chlorine-resistant blend available for chlorinated pool use.
Best for: sports and fitness brands, aquatics clubs, competitive swimming market.
Cape-Style Burkini
A long-sleeve one-piece with an attached cape or drape layer from the shoulder or neckline. The cape adds an extra layer of coverage over the torso and upper body without the construction complexity of a separate tunic piece. Popular in Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets, and in resort and beach photography — the cape creates movement and silhouette in images.
Construction: one-piece body with attached cape. Cape cut on bias or straight depending on desired drape. Full back zip entry or overhead entry options. Hood attached or separate.
Typical fabric: 80% nylon / 20% spandex, 200–220 g/m². Cape often in a lighter chiffon or sheer knit for visual contrast.
Best for: Southeast Asian and Gulf markets, resort brands, social media-driven collections.
Kids Burkini
Sized from 2 to 16 years. The construction is simpler than adult styles — typically a two-piece top and legging combination without the outer tunic layer, since movement range in children's swimwear is more critical than layering. All fabrics meet children's safety standards (REACH, Oeko-Tex Standard 100) without exceptions.
Construction: no small parts — hood is integrated into the top, no separate attachments. Elasticated waistband on leggings, non-metal hardware only. Flatlock seams reduce rubbing on delicate skin. Printed rather than embroidered decoration to avoid texture against skin.
Typical fabric: 80% nylon / 20% spandex or 80% polyester / 20% spandex, 190–210 g/m². Colours tested for wash and sweat fastness to children's textile standard.
Best for: children's brands, family swimwear lines, UK and EU markets (strict children's product safety).
Full-Zip Front-Opening Burkini
A zip from collar to hem on the outer layer makes dressing and undressing far easier — particularly useful for post-pool changing rooms and for customers with mobility considerations. The full-zip style is growing in the medical and disability-adaptive swimwear market alongside standard modest swimwear.
Construction: YKK water-resistant zip runs full length of outer tunic or one-piece. Zip guard behind the zip protects skin. Inner body is separate from the outer zip piece so it stays in place when the outer layer is unzipped. All metal components are corrosion-resistant (304 stainless or plastic).
Typical fabric: 80% nylon / 20% spandex, 200–230 g/m².
Best for: UK, European and Australian markets. Adaptive and inclusive swimwear buyers.
Printed & Tropical Pattern Burkini
A fashion-forward take on the classic three-piece or two-piece: floral, tropical, geometric or digital-print fabric replacing the solid-colour base. Print is applied at fabric stage (sublimation or reactive print) before cutting, so there is no registration issue at seam lines. The strongest-selling option for spring/summer collections and social-media-driven modest fashion brands.
Construction: same as three-piece or two-piece base style. Print placement must be specified on a tech pack — seam placement affects where patterns match or break. We offer a print review before cutting to catch obvious misplacements.
Typical fabric: sublimation-print polyester/spandex, 82/18 ratio, 200–220 g/m². Reactive print available on natural-blend fabrics at higher MOQ.
Best for: fashion-oriented modest swimwear brands, Ramadan and summer collections, Instagram and TikTok-driven audiences.
