Tankini Swimsuits

The Two-Piece with a Longer Top

A tankini is a two-piece swimsuit with a longer top — the top runs tank or cami length instead of stopping at the bust like a bikini bra. You keep the two-piece convenience — easier changing, mix-and-match bottoms — and gain torso coverage the bikini top does not offer.

This collection gathers 21 tankini styles, from about $25 to $57.

Sets, Swimdresses and Plus Runs

The 21 styles divide into a few formats:

• Ruched tankini sets — gathered tanks with matching bottoms.
• Tankini swimdresses — tank tops with skirt or shorts bottoms.
• Plus-size sets — extended runs with boxer or high-waist shorts.
• Printed and floral tanks — the format in print.
• Ruffle and tie-front versions — the top styled up.

The format is fixed; coverage, print and bottoms set the style.

Where the Tankini Sits

Three two-piece and one-piece families overlap in the catalog:

• Bikini — bra-style top, shortest torso coverage.
• Tankini — tank-length top, middle coverage.
• Swimdress — dress silhouette, the tankini's skirted reading.
• One-piece — a single garment, the coverage ceiling.

Torso coverage is the dial — tankini sits between the bikini and the one-piece.

Top Length, Bottoms, Fit

A short order for the 21 styles:

• Pick the top — ruched tank, cami, ruffle or tie-front.
• Pick the bottoms — matching set, shorts or skirt.
• Check the plus runs if you wear extended sizes.
• Confirm the size chart on each listing.

Top, bottoms, run — then the chart.

Quick Answers

Q: Is a tankini good for swimming? A: Yes — it is a standard swim piece; the tank top stays in place differently than a bra top, which is why some swimmers prefer it.

Q: Can I mix the tank top with other bottoms? A: The sets are sold as pairs; the two-piece format means any tank-style top works with swim bottoms of your choice.

Q: Where are the plus-size tankinis? A: Several sets in this pool run extended sizes — the listing shows the range on its chart.
