What Is Womens Bikini Swimwear?

Bikini swimwear is a two-piece swimsuit: a separate top and bottom worn together. The top can be a triangle, halter, bandeau, bralette or long-sleeve piece, and the bottom can be cheeky, Brazilian, thong or high-waisted — the pairing is what makes it a bikini. In women’s swimwear the word usually means exactly that two-piece set, whether it is worn for swimming, sunbathing or both.

This collection holds 871 styles, the store’s widest bikini pool, priced from about $17. It is the women’s two-piece umbrella: sets built for the women’s swimwear context, from minimalist strings to full-coverage high-waisted pieces and sporty sets.

Two-Piece vs Bikini vs Swimsuit

The terms nest. A swimsuit is any swim garment — two-pieces and one-pieces included. A two-piece is any separate top and bottom, which includes bikinis, high-waisted sets and sporty sets. A bikini is the classic two-piece reading — separate top and bottom with the midriff uncovered in most styles.

• Swimsuit: any swim garment, one or two pieces
• Two-piece: any separate top and bottom
• Bikini: the classic separate top and bottom set

This page covers the bikini reading of the women’s swimwear catalog — the store’s one-piece collections sit under the swimsuit side of the catalog.

What This Pool Actually Carries

As the widest bikini pool in the store, 871 styles, this collection carries the full range of the women’s two-piece catalog. Triangle and string sets lead, followed by high-waisted, bandeau and bralette tops; bottoms range from cheeky to thong. Prints, solids and texture styles all sit in the pool, alongside a small set of rash-guard pieces that pair as sets.

The pool is honest about its breadth: it is the whole women’s bikini catalog under one label, not a curated edit. That is its job as the category umbrella — start here to see the full range, then narrow by the details on each listing.

Shopping the Umbrella

Start with the two decisions that sort a bikini most: the top shape and the bottom coverage. Top shape sets the silhouette — triangle and halter for a classic look, bandeau for no straps, bralette for a soft-cup set. Bottom coverage sets the practical range — cheeky for more fabric, Brazilian for a higher leg, thong for minimal back.

Then filter by what the day asks: prints and bright colors for vacation photos, solids for versatility, high-waisted for active beach days, minimal cuts for sunbathing and resorts. Each listing’s photos and size chart carry the specifics.

Sizing and Care

Two-piece sets size each half separately in most cases — measure your bust for the top and your hips for the bottom, and compare both against the listing’s chart. Mixing sizes between top and bottom is normal and expected with two-pieces.

Care applies to the whole set: rinse after salt or chlorine, wash gentle in cool water, dry flat in shade. Nylon-spandex blends keep their recovery longest when they skip hot dryers, and prints hold their color best out of direct sun.
