What is a Bikini and Tankini Swimsuit?

Bikini and tankini swimsuits are two distinct styles of swimwear for women. While both these styles of swimsuits come in two-pieces, there is little difference between them.

• Top: A bikini top comes in various styles such as bandeau, halter, and triangle. Each of these styles provides a different type of coverage. A tankini top resembles a tank top and provides more coverage from the midriff, this spanning the entire torso. Both the bikini and tankini tops come with adjustable straps for a perfect fit.

• Bottom: Both bikini and tankini bottoms, considered to be the epitome of beach fashion, come in different cuts and styles. These include classic, hipster, high-waisted and more. These options offer different levels of coverage.

• Style: Bikinis give lower coverage while accentuating curves. They tend to bare more skin, creating a cutting edge, coveted and fashionable look. Tankinis provide more coverage as compared to bikinis. They are a modest alternative to a bikini.

Types of Bikini Swimwear

Zivame has a huge variety of bikini swimwear. Each style has its special appeal. Here is what Zivame has to offer:

• Bandeau bikini: These bikini sets have strapless tops that wrap around the chest. This style is a perfect choice for women who don't want uneven tan lines beneath the straps. Women with smaller busts can wear them with more ease since these provide minimal support.

• Halter bikini: A halter bikini set is one of the most popular styles. The bikini top has straps that tie around the neck that provide perfect lift and support to the bust. The straps come in a variety of thicknesses and closures.

• Triangle bikini: A new-age bikini style with a top that has triangle-shaped cups. It offers a minimalist and on-trend look.

• Balconette bikini: This style of bikini swimwear has a low-cut top with underwire support. Balconette bikinis suit women of every body type. For women with bigger busts, these tops provide perfect support and for those with smaller busts, these provide appropriate lift.

• Ruffle bikini: This style is all about fun, frills and a feminine appeal. The swimwear has decorative ruffles added on bikini tops and/or bottoms in different styles. Ruffle bikinis are loved by most since they are playful and chic.

• High-waisted bikini: These bikinis have high-waisted bottoms that rest above the navel. This style offers more coverage for the torso. High-waisted bikinis are a perfect pick to flaunt a perfect waistline or hide the tummy bulge. These bikinis with their stylish appeal have become quite popular.

Styles of Tankinis

Tankinis are two-piece swimwear styles for women. Tankinis come in a variety of designs. The range offered by Zivame includes:

• Cross-strap tankini: A very stylish tankini style with straps on the top that cross over each other forming an X-shape at the back. This style offers great support and fit. The criss-cross formation at the back gives this style a trendy appeal.

• Casual top tankini: This tankini is a relaxed and comfortable style that offers a casual look. It has a basic tank-top silhouette and can be paired with bikini shorts, swim shorts, and various other bottom wear styles. The best thing about a casual top tankini is that it is not just limited to the beach or pool and can be worn as an everyday top.

• Midriff tankini: This tankini style features a top that exposes the midriff area. It is available in a variety of lengths. Some tops expose a very thin strip of the midriff while other styles have a shorter hem. These tops can also be paired with many styles of bikini bottoms.

• Flared top tankini: This style consists of tops that have an A-line silhouette. The fit is relaxed and flowy allowing ease of movement and a lot of comfort. Flared-top tankinis give a playful and modest touch to the swimwear.

• String strap tankini: This tankini style features thin, string-like straps on the top. These strings are mostly adjustable and make the tankini visually appealing.

Bikini for Different Body Types

When choosing a bikini, it's important to find a style that highlights your best features. It is also important that you are comfortable in the bikini and it makes you feel confident. Here is a quick guide to finding the perfect bikini according to your body type:

• Apple shape: For a body with a fuller mid-section and narrower hips, select a bikini that provides optimal coverage for the tummy area. Pick styles that will bring attention to your beautiful arms and legs. Zivame recommends high-waisted bikini bottoms, scoop or V-neckline tops and bikinis in solid colours.

• Pear shape: Pear-shaped bodies have fuller bottoms and narrower busts. It's important to accentuate the upper body to give a balanced look. Pick styles with ruffles and embellishments on the bikini top to create volume. Alternatively, opt for styles with bikini bottoms with high cuts and darker colours.

• Hourglass shape: For a body with perfectly balanced hips and bust, Zivame recommends trying out all the styles. Celebrate your curves with under-wired bikini top styles and pair them with your favourite bikini bottom.

• Athletic shape: Women with athletic bodies can opt for styles with ruffles, embellishments, side ties and padding. They accentuate curves and add a quirky, confident and feminine appeal.

It's important to pick styles that make you feel comfortable and confident, irrespective of your body type.

How to Choose Bikini and Tankini?

Choosing the right bikini depends on factors such as personal style, body type and comfort level. Here is a quick guide:

• Know your body: It is important to understand your body shape and identify what features you want to highlight. Choose a style that accentuates your best areas.

• Find the right fit: A well-fitted bikini or tankini swimwear can make a huge difference to the overall look. It adds confidence, comfort and ease of movement. Refer to size guides available everywhere. Try the Zivame Fitcode, 'find your fit' calculator to help you find your perfect size.

• Choose the right print and pattern: Patterns can make or break the look significantly. Darker colours can help hide body bulges while ruffles and embellishments can add volume to a petite body type. Choose prints and patterns that are new-age and which enhance and balance your look.

• Fabrics and material: It's important to invest in high-quality fabric. Good materials can withstand long exposure to sun and water and are more durable in the long run.

• Occasion: When choosing a bikini, it's important to consider the occasion. If you will be engaging in water activities, select styles that are secure with more coverage. On the other hand, if you intend to relax or sunbathe choose bold and stylish designs.

FAQs

1.     How are tankinis supposed to fit?

Tankinis are a two-piece swimsuit consisting of a tank-top style top and a bikini bottom. The top should cover the mid-section of the torso and should not be too tight. The bottoms should also fit comfortably around the hips. The tankini fit should not be too tight leading to digging and bulging of skin and loose enough to slide at-least two fingers easily.

2.     How to wear a tankini?

Select tankinis that are a great fit. Wear the top and bottom in a way that they are comfortable. Adjust the length of the top and make sure the straps are adjusted properly. Make sure the bottoms also fit well and provide adequate coverage. The key to wearing a tankini is being confident and comfortable in them. Add on a beach hat, sarong and flip-flops for a fun look.

3.     Is a tankini similar to a monokini?

No, tankinis and monokinis are different styles of swimwear. They differ in terms of design and coverage. A tankini is a two-piece swimsuit that consists of a tank-top style top and bottoms. A monokini is a one-piece swimsuit. A tankini provides more coverage as compared to a monokini. Monokinis have stylish cuts on the waist, midriff, side or back thus baring more skin.

4.     What is the difference between a bikini and a tankini?

Both bikinis and tankinis are two-piece swimsuit styles. The main difference lies in the coverage. Bikinis consist of bra-like tops and bikini bottoms. The tops range from minimal triangle-shaped bras to halter neck tops and bandeau styles. Tankinis, on the other hand, provide more coverage. Tankini tops have tank-tops-like tops in varied lengths. Bikinis are more daring and revealing as compared to tankinis.

5.     What should I wear—a swimsuit or a bikini?

Wearing a swimsuit or a bikini is a personal preference. Swimsuits are modest, comfortable and provide more coverage as compared to bikinis for women. Choose the option that makes you feel more comfortable, and confident, and flatters your body. The key is to carry the outfit with ease and feel the best.

6.     Do bikinis have padding?

Bikinis come in a variety of styles. Some bikinis come with padding for extra support, while others, such as those with triangular or bandeau tops, do not. It is always a good idea to check the product description before making a purchase.

7.     What type of bikini swimsuit should I buy?

Choosing the right bikini swimsuit depends on personal style, preferences, and comfort level. If you are a first-time buyer, make sure to try out different styles to check what compliments your body. It is also important to consider the occasion and choose styles that offer coverage and comfort accordingly.
