burkinis
Full-coverage beach attire
A burkini is a swimsuit designed to cover the whole body except the face, hands, and feet, worn by Muslim women who wish to maintain modest dress while swimming.
The garment combines "burka" and "bikini," though it resembles neither—it typically consists of a tunic top, leggings, and head covering in quick-drying fabric: She wore a burkini to the beach.
Burkinis have sparked controversy in some Western countries over religious expression in public spaces.
