Size Matters

The majority of our staff at fourth element are female, and like all women, we faced the daunting question when picking new gear of “what size do I need?!“. What’s small in one brand can be large in another, and it can make shopping (especially online) very frustrating.

We listened to customer feedback, compared our own experiences and then decided to brave the camera and share body types, measurements and tips to help YOU find the size right first time. Of course this doesn’t cover every body shape in the world, but we hope you can find a shape and size to identify with; unedited, unfiltered, tried, tested and 100% honest.

When our new Destinations swimwear collection arrived in the office, we couldn’t get our kit off fast enough! As jumpers and jeans went flying, we thought it would be helpful to record our honest first impressions of the styles, the fit, what we loved and what we didn’t love.

Like before, it’s not our aim to attempt to represent all women, all sizes, all skin tones – we’re only a small team and for some, even the lure of new swimwear wasn’t enough to tempt them in front of a camera! But we’re real women, real sizes, sharing the shapes we’ve got to help YOU find a style and fit you love. So join us in the fourth element changing room and let’s talk swimwear…
