How it's used
Refers specifically to the functional garment worn for swimming, though it is often used interchangeably with 泳衣. While 泳裝 can sound slightly more formal or descriptive, like a category in a shop, 泳衣 is the far more common term in everyday speech. It is rarely used to describe men's trunks, which are typically referred to as 泳褲.

Common mistake
Do not use this word for men's swimming trunks, as it carries a feminine connotation in many contexts. Use 泳褲 instead for male swimwear.
