Using this swim skirt is a breeze. Just put it on like you would any other swimsuit bottom. When it comes to pairing, the Boardwalk top is a great choice, but you can also mix and match with other tops you have. As for care, rinse it with fresh water after each use in the pool or ocean to get rid of salt, chlorine, or sand. Don't wring it out; instead, gently squeeze the excess water. Hang it to dry in a shaded area to prevent the color from fading. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place. Also, make sure to check the size chart before buying as this style runs true to size.
