REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"I love how it’s not tight and just skims my body. The material is so nice on my skin that I actually appreciate that it’s a long sleeve. It’s a tad long in the torso but most tops fit that way on me. The zipper is gold and adds a fashionable touch that elevates this rashguard. It fits nicely over a one-piece or paired with just about any swim bottoms or shorts."
