"Micro-cut" describes a swimwear silhouette, not a size — higher-cut legs, narrower coverage, and a more fitted, minimal shape. It's one of the more searched-for cuts this season, and one that a lot of people get wrong for their own body before trying it.
What Micro-Cut Actually Means
Micro-cut styles favour narrower straps, higher leg lines, and less fabric overall compared to standard or full-coverage cuts. It's a minimal, closer-fitting silhouette rather than a specific brand or size range.
Our Micro-cut Collection
&Ray's Micro-cut collection gathers our narrower, higher-cut styles in one place — tops and bottoms designed around that closer-fitting shape.
A Dedicated Fit for Smaller or Flatter Chests
Micro-cut styles in particular can sit differently on smaller or flat-chested figures, since there's less structure doing the work. We keep a smaller, dedicated edit — Swimwear for Small & Flat-Chested Women — of pieces chosen specifically to work well for that shape.
Finding the Right Fit
Our Size Guide is a good starting point if you're new to micro-cut styles, since the fit runs differently to fuller-coverage swimwear.
