Unicorn Swimsuits - Styles for Every Kind of Pool Day
Whether it's a backyard splash session or a week at the beach, a unicorn swimsuit turns the whole thing into an event. Parents buying for kids who won't wear anything that isn't covered in rainbows - this collection was made for you. And honestly? The adult styles are just as good. No shame in matching your 6-year-old.
One-Pieces, Bikinis, and Rashguards - There's a Fit for That
The range here goes wider than most. One-piece suits with holographic horn prints for the kids who want to feel like they're actually swimming with sea unicorns. Bikini sets in pastel pink and iridescent blue for older girls and women who want something fun without going full costume. Rashguards if you've got a kid who spends five hours in the water and needs actual sun protection - those come in UPF-rated fabric with stretch for movement.
Sizing runs from toddler (age 2-3) through adult XL. A few things worth checking before you buy: the fabric content matters for chlorine resistance (polyester-spandex blends hold up much better than cotton-blend alternatives), and if your kid is between sizes, size up on the one-pieces for easier on/off. Most rashguards are designed to be worn loose, so standard sizing applies.
Care is straightforward on almost all styles - rinse after pool use, cold machine wash, hang dry. The prints stay brighter longer if you skip the dryer. Worth noting for the more detailed styles: the metallic horn and star prints can fade faster with hot water, so cold rinse really does make a difference.
If you're building out a full unicorn look for a birthday or pool party, the Unicorn Dress collection has cover-up styles that pair well with the swimsuits. For the cozy end of summer when the pool days wind down, Unicorn Onesies for Kids are the natural handoff. And for the getting-ready and winding-down parts of the day, Unicorn Slippers round out the whole situation nicely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are unicorn swimsuits made of?
Most unicorn swimsuits use a polyester-spandex blend, typically 80% polyester and 20% spandex (or elastane). This combo is chlorine-resistant, holds its shape after repeated washes, and stretches enough for actual movement. A few novelty styles mix in nylon. Check the product page for the specific fabric breakdown before buying - it matters for durability.
Are unicorn swimsuits good for swimming or just for looks?
Both, depending on the style. The rashguards and athletic one-pieces are built for real water use - UPF protection, snug fit, chlorine-resistant fabric. The bikini sets and some of the more decorative one-pieces are more lifestyle than lap swim. If your kid is a serious swimmer, filter by rashguard or athletic fit. For pool parties and beach days, any style works fine.
How do I choose the right size unicorn swimsuit for my child?
Use age ranges as a starting point, but measure chest and waist if you can. One-pieces tend to run fitted, so when in doubt, go one size up - especially for kids who are long in the torso. Rashguards are usually designed with a relaxed fit, so standard sizing is fine. Each product page has a size chart; it's worth two minutes of your time before ordering.
Can adults wear unicorn swimsuits too?
Yes - there are adult sizes in this collection, including women's one-pieces and bikini sets. The cut and styling on the adult options is a bit more tailored than the kids' versions, though the unicorn theme is very much still there. Sizes typically go up to XL or 2XL depending on the style. Filter by women or check the size range listed on each product.
How do I keep the unicorn print from fading?
Rinse the suit in cold water right after swimming - chlorine and saltwater are the main culprits for print fade. Cold machine wash is fine for most styles. Avoid the dryer; hang dry instead. For suits with metallic or iridescent details specifically, hot water speeds up fading noticeably. Treat it like you would any printed activewear and it'll last several seasons.
