What are Tankinis?

Tankinis are a style of swimsuit. They offer coverage and style. More precisely, it’s a tank top generally paired with a bikini bottom. Unlike the other traditional swimsuits, you have more flexibility and possibility of customization. This way, it allows you to mix and create your own set, looking unique on the beach. Generally, it’s your top that is covered. Indeed, the tank top provides coverage around the torso because of its nature.

What are the Different Types of Tankini Swimsuits?

Tankinis have evolved in different styles since their apparition, each of them giving a special style and vibe.

Bandeau Tankini

First, there is the bandeau tankini. It’s strapless and wraps around the torso. With this one, you can sunbathe and not be worried about tan lines, which makes it one of the most chosen by women.

High Neck Tankini

Then there is the high neck tankini, which provides more coverage around the neck area. It will protect your collarbone and chest from the sun and provide a higher coverage if you prefer to be more modest.

Underwire Tankini

The underwire tankini is probably the most famous and known by women as it offers more support for the chest and bust than the others. With its underwire nature, you will be comfortable and more secure during the day and activities. And you will still be able to tan.

Blouson Tankini

After, there is the blouson tankini top. Like its name insinuates, the top is like a blouse that drapes around your bust. It’s often appreciated by women who seek a looser, hence relaxed fit to be more comfortable, leaving your chest free to be tanned.

Twist Front Tankini

The twist front tankini is a twisted top providing a sense of fashion to your swimwear and femininity.

Slimming Tankini

Finally, there is what we call the slimming tankini, which is a style that helps to polish your silhouette. It offers a flattering look all over your body and will enhance your natural curves, offering a flattering fit for all body shapes and sizes.

So, as you can see, there are a lot of varieties of tankinis available and for all tastes. You will be able to choose whatever style or coverage you want for the next summer at the beach.

Tips to Choose the Right Tankini

When it comes to choosing your future tankini, you might probably be lost by all the choices available. There are a few things to consider before buying one, such as your shape, style, and comfort expectations. So, we’re here to give you a few tips.

Consider Your Body Shape

First, you need to know your body, to be more precise, your shape. If you're pear-shaped, a bandeau or halter tankini can draw attention to your upper body. For apple shapes, a blouson tankini can help conceal the midsection while highlighting the bust. For hourglass figures, underwire tankinis can offer support and enhance your curves.

Think About Your Activities

In the second place, you must think about what you're going to do during your vacation, whether you're only tanning or doing activities like surfing or diving into the sea. If you’re planning to only tan, then you should choose the bandeau tankini, which will provide less coverage than the others and not leave any strap marks. On the contrary, if you plan water activities, then turn to the underwire tankini or high neck tankini, as it’s going to provide more support and comfort during the effort. And concerning the bottom, you can choose as you prefer, revealing or more modest—it’s up to you. Women often pair their tankini with a classic swimsuit bottom. Don’t forget to think about comfort when purchasing your swimsuit.
