Bikini Skirt

What is a bikini skirt?

A bikini skirt is a swim set that includes a skirt layer: a three piece set with a tie skirt, a bottom cut into a mini skirt, or a wrap version that ties at the waist. The skirt is part of the set, not a separate cover up.

This edit runs 45 styles, about $17 to $72, across those three constructions.

The styles in this edit

• Three piece sets — the bikini, the skirt and the layer in one purchase
• Tie dye and fringe sets with a full tie skirt
• Mini skirt bottoms cut into the set itself
• Metallic and sequin versions for a statement take
• Wrap and sarong styles that tie at the waist

How to wear a bikini skirt

• Tie the skirt at the waist, not the hip — it sits cleaner and stays put in the water
• The skirt works in and out of the water. It is a layer you keep on, not one you change into
• Match the skirt to the bottom color, or let it be the second statement of the set
• For a longer look, tie a wrap version at the front knot instead of the side

Caring for a skirt set

• Rinse the whole set together after the water — the extra layer holds more water
• Dry the skirt flat or bunched on a towel. A tied skirt hung by the knot stretches the tie point
• The skirt fabric is usually lighter than the bikini — it dries faster and wrinkles more. Shake it out instead of pressing
