String Swimwear

What Is String Swimwear?

String swimwear is any swim garment whose fit is carried by thin tied strings — at the hips, neck, back or sides — rather than sewn seams and wide bands. The word names the construction, not the garment: a string bikini, a string one-piece and a string monokini all share the tied mechanics while covering very different amounts.

This collection gathers 461 styles across that full range, priced from about $17. Two-piece sets lead the pool, and one-pieces and monokinis with string details sit alongside them — which is the difference between this page and the store’s string bikini collections.

String Construction Across Garments

The same tie logic shows up in three garment shapes. In a string bikini, ties hold the top and bottom pieces at the hips, neck and back. In a string one-piece, ties appear at the sides or as a tied back detail on a single silhouette. In a monokini, cut-out panels are often joined or framed by ties.

• String bikini: tied top and bottom pieces
• String one-piece: one silhouette with tied side or back details
• String monokini: cut-out panels joined or edged with ties

The construction axis stays the same — what changes is the garment around it.

String Swimwear vs String Bikinis

String bikinis are the two-piece slice of string swimwear — the store’s string bikini collections carry tops and bottoms, while this page covers the whole garment range including one-pieces and monokinis.

If you are shopping a two-piece set, the bikini collections group them by style and coverage. If you want to compare a tied bikini against a string one-piece or monokini — or you are not sure which silhouette you want — this page is the view across all of them.

Choosing Across the Range

Start with the silhouette, then the coverage. A two-piece string set is the most flexible for mixing sizes and adjusting top and bottom independently. A string one-piece suits swimmers who want a single garment with tied adjustability. A monokini sits between — one piece with open panels.

Coverage then sorts within each shape: cheeky, Brazilian and thong levels in two-pieces, and fuller or more open cuts in one-pieces and monokinis. Read the photos on each listing — cut and coverage vary more between sellers than the labels suggest.

Wearing String Swimwear

Tied garments share one wearing rule: the knots carry the fit. Tie snugly, re-tie after swimming, and check the knots before activity. For one-pieces and monokinis, the tied details sit at the sides or back — they adjust the same way as bikini ties.

Care follows the fabric: rinse in cool water after salt or chlorine, wash gentle, dry flat. Stretch fabrics keep their recovery longest out of hot dryers, and ties stay supple when they are not twisted or wrung.
