Good evening, everybody. I'm sorry I can't provide more context, as the term is just one item in a list of products sold by a swimwear shop. TIA!

structured swimsuit
Explanation:
This would be my suggestion, there are plenty of references to structured swimwear in general, swimsuits specifically.

Loose fit/ easy fit / snug fit swimsuit


Explanation:
"Structured" swimsuit doesn't mean anything in English. I believe it's referring to the type of fit, 'souple' 'peu uni' in French, meaning loosely knitted fabric, loose or easy fit swimsuits in short.
