What Is a String Bikini?

A string bikini is swimwear held together by ties: thin strings or straps that tie at the sides, neck and back instead of using fabric panels for the fit. The ties are the structure — which is why string styles adjust so well, and why they pack so small for travel.

String describes the construction, not the coverage: string bikinis run from full-coverage bottoms to thong and micro cuts, depending on the style. The most common types are tie-side, triangle, Brazilian and thong-string — and string is not the same as micro, though the words often appear together.

String = a structure word. Coverage is a separate choice made by the cut.

String Styles in This Collection

The collection covers the string family across silhouettes:

• Tie-side and tie-back bikinis — the classic string construction
• Triangle and sliding-triangle tops with adjustable ties
• Brazilian and thong-string bottoms for the minimal end
• Halter styles where the neck strap does the holding
• Padded versions of the string tops for added structure

Prices run from about $20 to $56, and sizes from XS to XL with a few one-size pieces.

Pick the tie style first (tie-side, triangle or halter), then the coverage.

String vs Thong: What’s Different?

String and thong describe different things, but the words blur in search: string describes the ties that hold a suit together, while thong describes a bottom’s back coverage. A “thong-string” bikini is simply a thong bottom built with string construction — the two ideas combine rather than compete.

The useful comparison is the other direction: string bikinis come in every coverage level, from full to micro, while thong styles are defined by the minimal back. If you want structure that adjusts, choose string; if you want minimal back coverage, choose a thong cut.

String = ties. Thong = back coverage. They combine, they don’t conflict.

Where String Styles Fit

String bikinis suit the classic summer contexts: beach days, resort pools, sunbathing and tanning, boat days and travel — the tie construction packs flat and the adjustable fit adapts to long days. Minimal tan lines are a bonus of the string family’s thinner straps.

Because some string styles are minimal, venue matters — what works on a resort beach may not suit a family pool. Check local rules when you’re unsure, and keep a cover-up handy.

String styles travel well and adjust easily — match the coverage to the place.

How to Choose a String Bikini

Work through four decisions:

• Tie style: tie-side, tie-back, triangle or halter construction
• Coverage: from cheeky and Brazilian to thong and micro
• Structure: padded string tops for added support
• Occasion: beach and travel suit them best

Sizes run XS to XL with some one-size pieces — check each listing’s chart.

Tie style first, coverage second, structure third.
