About Hermoza

Hermoza makes swimwear and resort wear for women who want coverage without giving up on design, founded by Tiffany Rivers and Marisa De Lecce.

What the collection covers

One-pieces are the heart of it, in high-neck, halter, strapless and athletic shapes, with ruffle and ruched detailing that does real work rather than decoration. Two-pieces are cut with more coverage than the market average. Around the swim sits resort wear — kaftans, cover-ups, pareos and dresses — plus hats, sunglasses and jewellery, and there are children's pieces with matching mother-and-daughter designs.

Fit, and why the details matter

This is a brand that solves specific fit problems rather than offering one shape in ten colours. There are long-torso options, which is the difference between a costume that sits properly and one that pulls down on the shoulders all day, and DD-plus cup sizing with genuine support built into the bodice rather than a shelf of elastic. Several styles use a firmer lining through the middle for shaping. If you have ever bought swimwear that fitted on the bust and was two inches short in the body, the long-torso option is the one to read about first.

Making swimwear last

Chlorine and sun are what destroy elastane, and neither is optional if you swim. The routine that extends the life of a costume is simple: rinse in cool fresh water as soon as you get out, never wring it, and dry it flat in the shade rather than draped over a hot poolside chair. Suncream and self-tan stain pale fabrics permanently, so let both dry before dressing. Alternate two costumes on a long holiday if you can, because elastane recovers its shape given a day off.

Sizing across the collection is American, so read the measurements rather than converting a British size in your head, and pay particular attention to the torso length note where a style offers one. If two sizes look possible, the reviews on an individual style are unusually useful here because customers tend to state their height and cup size alongside what they ordered.
