Fit: Rashguards and Tankini top fit

[cransplash]

This year, I ordered a tankini top and a rashguard. Since I've only worn bikinis, how is the fit supposed to be?

Is the material supposed to "fit" you against your skin (like a one-piece swimsuit) or is it supposed to be looser?

I'm thinking:
- Tankini- it doesn't matter/your own preference?
- Rashguard- Supposed to fit you like a one-piece/all against your skin? I have a rashguard in 2 sizes. The smaller size pretty much is tight against my upper body (but you can see the "shadow" of my belly button), but the larger size is more loose fitting around the tummy area.

Sorry, I know these are stupid questions.

I'm not sure on the rashguard, but I think they're supposed to be tight. Tankinis can go either way. I've had tight ones and others that sort of...flow I guess.

Yes, the rash guard should be tighter. It needs to be tight enough around your torso to keep out the sand/debris from the water.
