Burgundy Burkinis
Burgundy burkinis listed here are filtered specifically by color, so what you see is limited to deep red-toned swimwear. The available options are made from parachute fabric and polyester — both standard choices for modest swimwear — and sizes run from M through 4XL, including plus sizes. If you're looking for a specific color and full-coverage construction in one search, this is the right starting point.

Fabric and Construction
The dominant material in these burkinis is parachute fabric, a lightweight synthetic woven textile that resists water absorption and dries relatively quickly. It holds its shape under movement and does not cling heavily when wet, which makes it a practical choice for swimming rather than poolside wear only. Polyester is also present in the construction — typically in the lining or stretch panels — and contributes to durability and color retention after repeated exposure to chlorine or saltwater. Neither material requires special detergent, but cold machine washing or hand washing on a gentle cycle extends the lifespan of both.

Size Range and Fit
Sizes run from M to 4XL, covering a broad range of body proportions. In burkini construction, a relaxed fit through the torso and an elasticated waist are the most common approaches for larger sizes — these allow freedom of movement without requiring a fitted cut. At sizes 2XL and above, tunic-length tops paired with full-length trousers or a skirt panel offer better coverage and ease of movement than cropped or hip-length tops. Check the individual product page for size charts, as fabric composition can affect how sizing runs.
Color Coordination
Burgundy is a deep, cool-toned red that pairs cleanly with black and navy in accessories. A black swim cap or navy rashguard worn underneath creates a low-contrast combination that works well visually without competing with the base color. For a hijab worn over or alongside the burkini hood, charcoal or dark navy holds the tone better than warm colors like camel or orange. Burgundy does not fade to an ambiguous tone in wet conditions the way lighter colors can, which is one practical reason swimmers prefer it over pastels or blush shades.
How should a burgundy burkini made from parachute fabric be washed?
Cold water hand washing or a gentle machine cycle at 30°C is suitable for parachute fabric and polyester. Avoid tumble drying, as heat can weaken the fabric structure and cause the elasticated panels to lose their shape. Rinse thoroughly after saltwater or chlorine exposure before washing, as residual chemicals accelerate fabric degradation.What hijab color works well with a burgundy burkini?
Dark navy, charcoal, and black are the most straightforward matches for burgundy — they create a clear contrast without clashing. Burgundy also works alongside deep olive or dark teal if you want a less conventional pairing. Avoid light or warm-toned colors like ivory or mustard, which tend to visually compete with the depth of the burgundy base.What season are parachute fabric burkinis suited for?
Parachute fabric performs best in warm-season water use — late spring through early autumn. It is not a thermally insulating material, so it is not well suited for cold water or outdoor use in lower temperatures. In high heat, the fabric dries quickly, which is an advantage for moving between water and outdoor areas.
