We’re on the cusp of swimsuit season now that summer is unofficially underway. Perhaps nothing in the swimwear world has as bad of a reputation as tankinis. After all, they’re not exactly designed to be fashion-forward. They’re usually meant to cover as much as possible. But oh how times have changed. Now the market is flooded with stylish tankinis.
Much like summer must-haves tank tops, tankinis now also come in cropped forms. The different lengths allow for more sartorially-minded silhouettes. Straps are also getting an upgrade with asymmetrical pairs and halter-style necklines. The latter really ties into the early 2000s trend we’re currently seeing everywhere.
Usually, the bottoms are the full-coverage variety. While those still work with certain swim tanks, they certainly aren’t the only options. From super high-cut bikini styles to barely-there, side-tie bottoms, pretty much anything goes.
Another plus? You can actually sport the tops inland. They’ll look great with everything from cutoffs to baggy jeans to those ever-popular micro skirts, which we can curse thank Miu Miu for introducing into our lives.
Here are the most stylish tankinis around. They’re so great they’ll totally convince you to ditch all of your string bikinis and ultra revealing one-pieces ASAP.
