What is a tankini?
Although the tankini is a relatively recent invention, the design of this two-piece is straightforward. As the name suggests, it takes its cues from the bikini. The brief is the same, but the difference lies in the tankini top. This resembles a tank top, featuring slightly wider straps and covering the midriff down to the briefs. Current styles also include variations with narrower straps or a halterneck cut.
Which is better — tankini, bikini, or swimsuit?
Women's swimwear comes in three main styles: the swimsuit, the bikini, and the tankini. But is one option truly better than the others? Why choose, when you can wear all three? Each style suits different occasions, and all three have their own advantages and disadvantages. A swimsuit is elegant and comfortable. With a wide variety of cuts available, it allows you to flatter and accentuate your figure at any time. A bikini typically reveals more skin, giving it a sexy and alluring appeal. At the same time, the bra-style top helps you achieve a more even tan on your stomach and back. The tankini combines the best of both, while being somewhat more sports-themed than a swimsuit. As a two-piece with a secure, long top, it is ideal for active women and cleverly conceals any areas you'd rather not highlight.
Which tankini suits which body type?
The advantages of the tankini speak for themselves. It genuinely flatters every figure. The midriff-covering top creates a slimming effect. Younger women love the sporty look, while more mature women appreciate the comfort of a two-piece. In larger sizes in particular, it gives you the freedom to always feel fully dressed — whether at the beach, the pool, or an open-air swimming baths. The flowing fabric of the tankini drapes beautifully over your hips.
