Wrap Around Bikini Top

What the wrap around construction is

A wrap top is built with a front panel that crosses over — one side lays over the other, and the tie at the side or the back holds the fold. The overlap is the signature: it adjusts with the tie, and the fold line reads at the front.

The pool runs 58 styles, about $31 to $56 — the solid wrap push up, the pearl string wrap halter, the ribbed tie string triangle, the block color Brazilian and the contrast halter builds on the wrap construction.

• Ribbed tie string triangle Brazilian on the wrap
• Block color Brazilian set with the wrap front
• Contrast color ribbed strappy halter

Styling the wrap front

• The fold line is the detail — keep the neckline clean and the wrap reads as the design
• For the pearl and hardware wraps, the string is the second statement; the rest stays simple
• Off the beach, a wrap halter under an open shirt keeps the fold line visible
• Tonal wraps — same color top and bottom — read as one piece; contrast wraps read as two deliberate parts

Caring for wrap around swimwear

• Rinse after the water and let the overlap panel dry open — the fold line holds moisture
• Dry with the wrap unfolded; the crease marks the panel edge
• Check the tie point after each wash; it carries the wrap load
• Store the set with the front panel flat, not rolled on the fold
