The Complete Guide to Buying Swimsuits (2026)

A swimsuit from Naughty Boy is genuine Playboy swimwear — one-pieces and bikinis designed to turn a pool day into an occasion. To choose the right one, focus on three things: the cut, the size and the moment it’s for. First-time gift buyers should start with a black high-leg one-piece; if she already owns the classics, go the shimmer bikini.

The label does the talking

These are licensed Playboy pieces with the rhinestone and bunny-head logos front and centre — swimwear that reads as a statement, not just a suit.

The gift that actually lands

Lingerie can feel like a gift for you. A striking swimsuit is a gift for her that happens to work out brilliantly for you — wearable all summer, in public, with a story.

Real swimwear, real fit

Proper swim fabric, lined cups, adjustable ties and straps — these swim, sunbake and survive the beach. Bedroom energy, daylight build quality.

What Counts as a Swimsuit Here?

At Naughty Boy, the swimsuits range is licensed Playboy swimwear — one-piece suits and two-piece bikinis cut to be noticed, built from real swim fabric and finished with the rhinestone or bunny-head branding. It’s the crossover point between the lingerie drawer and the beach bag.

The range splits into two camps: one-pieces from the Playboy Swim line (sized XS to L, structured, statement cuts) and two-piece bikinis from the Playboy Lingerie line (mostly one-size, tie-adjustable, lighter and cheekier). Browse the full swimsuits range to see both camps side by side.

Is a Playboy Swimsuit the Right Buy?

If you’re buying for a partner who enjoys being looked at — or you’re shopping together for a trip, a pool party or just a summer upgrade — this is one of the easiest wins in the store. A swimsuit is a genuinely useful gift with a wink built in.

It earns its keep three ways. As a gift, it says “I think you look incredible” without a hint of awkward. As holiday kit, it’s the piece that gets photographed. And as a couples’ play, picking one out together is half the fun — the reveal is the other half.

Straight talk on the trade-offs: these are statement pieces, not surf-club training suits — high cuts, bold logos, shimmer fabric. If she prefers to blend in at the beach, start with the black one-piece, which is the most classic of the lot. And sizing matters more than with any toy in the store, so read the next two sections properly.

Types of Swimsuits: Which Cut Suits Her?

There are four styles in the range — classic one-pieces, high-leg one-pieces, print bikinis and shimmer bikinis — and the right one comes down to coverage, occasion and how loud she wants the statement. Rule of thumb: one-pieces for the beach day, two-pieces for the pool party.

Classic one-pieces

The safest great choice. Full-coverage front, structured fit, and clever adjustability — the PlayBoy Pink Ruched One-Piece has ruched side ties you can cinch higher or lower and clear straps that remove entirely for a strapless look. One suit, several outfits.

High-leg one-pieces

The Baywatch cut — legs cut high on the hip to lengthen everything, with serious main-character energy. The Black High-Leg Rhinestone Swimsuit is the flagship, and the red Bunny Head version is the same silhouette turned up a notch. This is the cut that photographs best.

Print bikinis

Two-piece, tie-adjustable, covered in bunnies. The Dueling Bunny Bikini is the entry point at $69, and the Burnout Bunny Two-Piece is the premium version with a textured burnout print. Lighter coverage, easier sizing, bigger grin.

Shimmer bikinis

The party pieces. Metallic-thread fabric that catches the light with every movement — the Twilight Shimmer Bikini in ruby is made for golden hour by the pool, not for laps. Maximum occasion, minimum apology.

How to Choose Her Swimsuit

Choose on four points: size, cut, colour and occasion. Get the size right and everything else is preference — get it wrong and nothing else matters.

Size first — do the homework

For the one-pieces (XS to L), check the label on a swimsuit or fitted top she already owns before you order — thirty seconds of recon beats guessing. Buying blind? The bikinis are the smart play: one-size with tie-sides that adjust to fit, so there’s no number to get wrong.

Cut — match her confidence

High-leg cuts are the most flattering in the range but also the most look-at-me. If she lives in classic swimwear, the ruched pink one-piece is the gentler entry; if her current swimwear is already cheeky, go straight to the high-leg or a bikini.

Colour — when in doubt, black

Black is the range’s bestseller for a reason: it goes with everything, flatters everyone and lets the rhinestone logo do the work. Red is the confident second choice; pink is playful; shimmer ruby is the occasion piece.

Occasion — buy for the moment

A beach holiday wants a one-piece she can actually swim in. A resort pool or a party wants the shimmer bikini. A birthday wants the flagship black rhinestone. If you’re covering all bases, browse the full swimsuits collection and pick one from each camp.

Fabric, Fit & Quality

These are proper swim-grade pieces: stretch swim fabric with lined cups and fronts, tie-side adjustability on the bikinis, and stitched-in branding rather than printed-on transfers. The rhinestone and shimmer details are decorative hardware — treat them kindly and they last.

Buying rules: check the ties and straps move freely, size up if she’s between one-piece sizes (ruching and ties take in slack far better than fabric stretches out), and remember shimmer fabric is a sun-lounge fabric first — rinse it after every chlorine session.

How to Nail the Gifting

Get the size from something she already owns, buy the style one notch bolder than her current swimwear, and present it before the trip — not at the airport. That sentence is 90% of the technique.

Pair it well and the gift doubles: a swimsuit plus a date night booked at a pool or beach gives it a moment to exist for. Plenty of blokes round the order out with something from the couples’ toys guide for the evening after — the summer-holiday combo order is a Naughty Boy classic.

Shopping together instead? Even better. Pull up the swimsuits range side by side and let her shortlist — you get the reveal either way.

Care, Washing & Storage

Rinse in cold fresh water after every wear, hand-wash with a gentle detergent, and dry flat in the shade — that’s the entire routine.

  • Never machine-dry or wring — heat and twisting are what kill swim elastic, not use.
  • Keep sunscreen and fake tan off the fabric until they’ve absorbed; both stain light colours.
  • Store flat or rolled, with rhinestone and shimmer pieces kept clear of velcro and rough fabrics.

Buy it smart

Size is the whole game with swimwear. Check a label she already owns before ordering a one-piece, or go tie-adjustable if you’re buying blind. When between sizes, size up — ties can always cinch in. And rinse every piece in fresh water after chlorine or salt; that one habit doubles the life of the suit.

Swimsuits FAQ

Are Playboy swimsuits real swimwear or just for show?

They’re real swimwear — proper stretch swim fabric, lined fronts and cups, built to get wet. The one-pieces handle beach and pool duty easily; the shimmer bikinis are best treated as sun-lounge pieces with a rinse after chlorine.

What size swimsuit should I buy as a gift?

Check the label on swimwear or a fitted top she already owns — that’s the reliable answer. If you can’t, buy a one-size tie-adjustable bikini or the ruched one-piece, both of which adjust to fit, and size up when between sizes.

What’s the difference between the Playboy Swim and Playboy Lingerie pieces?

Playboy Swim pieces are sized one-pieces (XS–L) with structured, statement cuts; Playboy Lingerie pieces are one-size two-piece bikinis with tie adjustment. One-pieces suit beach days and precise fits; bikinis suit parties and blind gift-buying.

Which colour swimsuit is the safest choice?

Black, every time — it flatters everyone, matches everything and lets the rhinestone logo carry the statement. Red is the confident second pick, and shimmer ruby is the one for occasions.

Can you swim in a shimmer bikini?

You can, but it’s happiest poolside — the metallic-thread fabric is made for lounging and golden-hour light rather than daily laps. Rinse it in fresh water after any chlorine or salt session and it will keep its sparkle.

How do I wash a swimsuit without wrecking it?

Rinse cold after every wear, hand-wash gently, dry flat in the shade — never machine-dry or wring. Heat and twisting are what wear out swim elastic, so avoid both and the suit lasts seasons.

Does Naughty Boy ship swimsuits discreetly?

Yes — every order ships Australia-wide in plain, unmarked packaging with a discreet sender name. Nobody knows what’s in the parcel but you two.
