I have a solic chocolate brown tankini top that I love (and it fits again!!). I need new bottoms, though.

Can I wear these with a brown top? For $14.99 I say yes!

I love this, too

I really like these, but it says they are running small, so I would probably need the large.

How does Athleta swimwear sizing run? (If it helps, I wear size M VS bikini undies)

Love that fuchsia Moroccan tile bathing suit...in fact, I have it! :) Honestly, I wouldn't wear it with brown. It will look very mismatched. The print is a very bright fuchsia and, truthfully, I really don't think it will go.

I think the sizing is TTS. I wear a medium in those bottoms and I am a size 8 with kind of a big backside.

Okay, thanks. I couldn't tell if it was more of a red or fuchsia, but I didn't know if that would really work with brown anyway! Too bad- I really like it!

I wish they had the other ones in a large. Most of the reviews said it ran small, so I would def. need to size up!

yeah- definitely follow the reviews on sizing. I have 2 suits (tankinis with shorts) and 1 seems TTS and the other ran really small. (Had I read the reviews before purchasing the 2nd one- I could have avoided a few exchanges.

Were you hoping for the pink pattern of those last bottoms or the blue? The blue is available in a Large right now!

Thanks! I could have sworn there were only S and M when I looked yesterday. Off to order them now before they are gone again!
