30 Best Long Sleeve Swimsuits That Cover Arms
If you don’t love the look of your arms, or you’re simply looking for a high-coverage swimsuit for added sun protection, take a look at these 30 different long sleeve swimsuits that cover arms, ranging from sultry bikinis to practical one-pieces.
If your summer body is still in the works and you feel self-conscious about your arms, this article is for you. Long sleeve swimsuits are a great way to take pressure off showing any arm fat that you may have – many of the swimsuit styles we’ve featured are made with compression fabrics, which smooth any lumps and bumps you may have in your arms.
In addition to this, one of the biggest benefits of wearing a long sleeve swimsuit is that it adds an added layer of sun protection to your beach look. If you are worried about getting sunburned this summer, a long sleeve swimsuit is a great way to stay covered up.
Nowadays many brands create incredibly elegant long sleeve swimsuits, which double up as tops that you can wear on or out of the beach, paired with flowy maxi skirts or tailored shorts.
Whatever your reason for craving a long sleeve swimsuit that covers arms, take a look at the best 30 bikinis and one-pieces that are on the market this year!
