Añú

It was time to add a historically fun flair to the Outplay family so we covered the beloved Swimmee in stripes and gave it a new name, Añú. Now you can add a dapper touch to your swimwear collection while still showing off a little bit of skin.

Fully lined and comes in low compression or high compression.

Añú swim top is your favorite gender inclusive Swimmee inspired-cut with that old-time feel. We took the beloved Swimmee and we took it back a few decades by adding that turn of the 20th century look with thick stripes across. The name Añú means 'people of the water' or 'people of the ocean' and comes from the indigenous people of the State of Zulia in Venezuela.

The Añú swim top is available in the black and white or in an Outplay blue and white combination. The stripes measure a little over 2" each, covering the entire top, front and back. These stripes are digitally printed so there's no water waste or water contamination. The neckline is cut high to avoid any cleavage. The armholes are cut close to the arms to avoid any side skin or spillage. It has an androgynous-cut overall. Length from the bottom of the armhole to the hem is approximately 5" and shoulder to shoulder, the top measures 10" (based on a size M but can vary depending on size).

Remember Outplay gender neutral compression tops are not binders, they are made to be active in so they do stretch. For more information on how we create the compression, check out this post. Outplay compression swim tops can be worn for long periods of time, in and out of the water.

When picking a size, we recommend you use our size chart for guidance. Our sizes aren't exactly like other traditional clothing brand sizes. If you're looking for maximum compression and you fall between sizes, we recommend you go with the smaller size. Remember, this is not a binder, it's a compression top designed and made to swim and be active in.

How do I know my size?

It took us a lot of research and a lot of testing on a lot of bodies in different shapes and sizes to come up with the sizing and fit for all of Outplay’s swimwear and sportswear. As much as we believe we’ve created really well thought-out and meticulously measured sizing system for our gender neutral clothing, we know not every style is right for every body type. Because of this, we’re constantly adding new cuts and styles giving you as many options possible for any fit. As we continue to grow, we will be adding more styles, sizes and designs that can fit your body and give you the comfort and confidence you’ve come to expect from Outplay.

All measurements refer to body size, not garment dimensions. Because our sizing is different from most traditional clothing companies, we suggest you use our size charts as a guide. The size you normally wear doesn’t necessarily translate into Outplay sizing exactly the same.

If you’re between sizes, we suggest you size up for t-shirts and sweatshirts, and go for the smaller size for sweatpants and tights.

Compression

When it comes to compression tops, it all depends on the level of compression you are looking for. If you’re looking for maximum compression and you fall between sizes, go for the smaller size. Always keep in mind our compression tops do stretch as they are made of spandex and spandex mixes and other stretchable fabrics. They are not traditional binders and their hold will never be as pronounced or as rigid as that of a traditional binder. They are made to be worn while swimming and being active, and can be worn for long periods of time without causing any harm to your body.

How to measure yourself

We always recommend you get someone to help you take your measurements. It’s easier and you get more accurate and precise measurements this way. If you take your own measurements, we recommend you do it in front of a mirror so you can have a better view of how you’re measuring everything all the way around.

CHEST:

With your arms relaxed and down your side, measure around the fullest part of your chest. Make sure to keep the measuring tape horizontal. Get a full measurement without tightening the measuring tape around you.

WAIST:

Measure around your natural waistline (the narrowest point of your upper body). Make sure to keep the measuring tape horizontal and don’t tighten it.

HIPS:

Measure around your hip bones which are at the widest point of your hip section.

INSEAM:

Measure the inside length of your leg, from your crotch down.

*inseam refers to the length of the garment, from the crotch seam to the hem. You can find style specific inseam details on each product page description.
**These are sizing guidelines. Please take your body measurements to determine you most accurate size.

If you’re on the borderline between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit or stronger compression. Choose the larger size for a looser fit. When it comes to compression tops a looser fit will not allow the compression materials to do their job.
