Tie Front Bikini

What Are Tie Front Bikinis?

A tie front bikini top ties at the front — the panels or straps knot at the chest instead of behind the neck or at the sides. The front tie works as the closure, and the knot or bow it makes is part of the design. Tie front names the placement of the tie, not a specific top shape.

This collection gathers 83 styles carrying or tagged with the front tie, and the pool runs loose — true front-tie tops sit beside lace-up, wrap and halter styles tagged in. Prices run from about $29 to $39.

How the Front Tie Works

The front tie is a mechanism with two visible results:

• The closure — straps or panels meet at the front and knot, holding the top closed.
• The knot or bow — a bow reads soft and classic; a tight knot reads minimal. The tie style is the design choice.
• The adjust — looser ties let the panels sit wider; firmer ties pull them closer across the chest.

Tie the front knot to your fit — the bow or knot is the look, and its tightness is the adjustment.

Tie Front vs Halter vs Tie Side

The tie family sorts by placement, and the front is one point of three:

• Tie front — the knot sits at the front of the top; this page's placement.
• Halter — ties behind the neck, the back bare.
• Tie side — the bottom ties at the hip.

A tie-up bikini uses one or more of these placements — tie front names the front knot, and the other pages cover their own points.

The Styles in This Collection

The pool disclosure keeps the page honest:

• Front-tie tops — puff-sleeve tie fronts and tie-front triangle halters lead the true styles.
• Neighbors tagged in — lace-up, wrap and plain halter styles sit in the pool; the front knot in the photos decides.
• Price range — $29 to $39.

Shop by the knot in the photos — the front tie is a visual fact, and the image shows where it sits.

Choosing a Tie Front Bikini

Work through four decisions:

• Tie style: bow, knot or crossover front — the look of the closure
• Garment: two-piece top or one-piece with a front tie
• Coverage: Brazilian, cheeky or full bottoms
• Read the photos: confirm the tie sits at the front

Sizes run XS to XL with some one-size pieces — check each listing's chart and confirm the front tie in the photos.
