About lifeguard Costumes

Lifeguard costumes lean on red swimwear and sun-bleached styling, C.J. Parker's classic Baywatch red one-piece, Billy Hargrove's cocky Stranger Things pool-guard look, Wendy Peffercorn's Sandlot summer styling. The uniform barely changes, the attitude is what separates one character from another.

A whistle and a pair of sunglasses finish this fast, they're cheap and instantly read as lifeguard even over a plain red swimsuit.
