swimwear

Bathing suit category

Swimwear is clothing designed for swimming or beach activities—bathing suits, bikinis, trunks, and the like.

The term functions as a retail and fashion category: the swimwear section, swimwear trends for summer.

It's slightly more formal than "bathing suit" and broader than any specific garment.
