Tankini, the Two Piece Wonder

A Tankini is a cleverly designed two piece bathing suit. The set consists of a cropped thick strap tank top, and accompanied by usually a classic bikini bottom.

Often the designs and colors of the top and bottom pieces don't match. This can actually help create an effect of a smaller bust for those who are top heavy.

This sexy tankini top offers excellent bust support without sacrificing style and flexibility of a two piece swimsuit. The overall effect is sexy and very flattering.

It's a fantastic option for women who seek the style of a two piece swimsuit but need a little extra support. It's right in between the bikini and one piece. Also the tankini is designed for athletic girls that want the style of a two piece but need the benefits of a flexible sports top.

The swimsuit top offers great upper body support so you won't have to worry about bottoming out, or anything popping out. This top can accompany you while swimming, jogging or beach volleyball. It works like a sports bra, but provides extra coverage and control for the stomach.

The upper body will appear smaller and shorter for those who have long torsos. The classic bikini bottom helps create the effect of elongating the legs.

Tankini Swimsuits Review

This bathing suit is recommended for Apple shaped body types. That means it’s suitable for women that are top heavy or have broad shoulders. The tankini top helps minimize the upper body to make the entire body look more proportionate.

If you’re not sure what body type you have, follow the body types link at the bottom of the page.

When you’re out to shop, there isn’t too much to look out for other than making sure the fit is balanced and adequate on both the top and bottom. Never buy without trying it on. And remember if it feels uncomfortable within the first minute of wearing the garment, don't buy it! You'll regret having to wear it later on because no one wears a swimsuit for just a minute.

This two piece is often sold in mix & match display. That means you can even choose boy shorts or a thong bottom!

Don’t be afraid to play around with different designs and colors.

Tankinis look best in different coordinates.

If you really want to hide your curves, consider color block bathing suits that are dark on the sides of the waist and bright in the center. This brings the attention towards the middle of your figure rather on the sides.
