Women's black UV-protective swimwear: timeless elegance
Black swimwear has an effortless elegance that lasts from one season to the next. Minimalist, graphic or enhanced with a feminine detail, it creates a streamlined silhouette and suits every summer occasion. At Canopea, this essential shade appears across bikinis and one-piece swimsuits made from recycled ECONYL® fibre, combining refinement with high UPF 50+ sun protection.
Choose a style that feels like you
Black swimwear brings careful cutting and precise details into focus: an elegant neckline, a defined waist, adjustable straps or a beautifully shaped open back. A one-piece swimsuit offers understated sophistication and can also be worn as a bodysuit with a skirt or flowing trousers on summer evenings. A two-piece bikini offers plenty of versatility, with endless opportunities to mix and match with printed bikini bottoms or a brighter bikini top.
Comfort and protection while swimming
All our women's black UV-protective swimwear is UPF 50+ certified, blocking more than 98% of UVA and UVB rays without chemical UV filters. Our responsibly selected fabric provides effective, lasting sun protection on covered areas, alongside resistance to chlorine and salt. For extra coverage during longer periods outdoors, pair your swimsuit with a women's UV-protective swim top. Remember to apply suitable sunscreen to exposed skin.
Choosing and caring for your Canopea swimsuit
Choose a fit that naturally follows your body without leaving marks or squeezing the skin. We recommend comparing your measurements with our detailed size guide before ordering. To preserve the depth of the black colour and the suppleness of the fabric, rinse your swimsuit thoroughly in fresh water after every sea or pool swim. Wash gently, then lay it flat to dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight.
Frequently asked questions
How should I care for black swimwear to preserve its colour?
To keep the black looking rich, rinse your swimsuit in fresh water immediately after swimming to remove salt, chlorine and sunscreen. Avoid leaving it rolled up in a damp bag, wash it gently by hand and always lay it flat to dry in the shade.
Does black swimwear create a slimmer-looking silhouette?
Black can create a naturally streamlined effect. The dark colour softens shadows and visually brings the silhouette together. Combined with a well-fitting cut, such as a structured one-piece swimsuit or high-waisted bikini bottoms, it shapes the torso and creates an elegant, elongated look.
