Sheila swimwear — women’s swim shorts for land, sea and life.

Sheila sizes by your body, not by the label on your last swimsuit. That's deliberate — measuring against our size guide is the most reliable way to land your best fit.

Our swimsuits are built to be supportive and comfortable. Between two sizes? Size down for a snug, compressive feel. Size up for a relaxed fit with room to move.

Care

Swimming in chlorine? Go for Black Sand. Chlorine fades vivid colours over time — no matter how good the colourfastness or fabric — so darker holds up best in the pool. Salt or fresh water? Any colour's fair game.

Then keep your suit at its best:

• Wash before use
• Wash with similar colours
• Hand wash or gentle machine wash in cold water
• Dry flat in shade
• Avoid rough surfaces
• Avoid high levels of chlorine
• Do not bleach
• Do not tumble dry
