beachwear

Trunks and bikinis

Beachwear is clothing designed for the beach or poolside—swimsuits, cover-ups, sandals, and the like.

The term appears mainly in retail and fashion contexts: The store's beachwear section expands every summer.

It overlaps with swimwear but includes items worn over or alongside a bathing suit.
