Halter tankinis for your next warm weather getaway!
Halter tankini
With swimwear season creeping up, it’s easily one of the most frustrating garments to shop for.
Tankinis are two-piece swimsuits that offer great style and additional security coverage so you get the best of both worlds.
Pro Tip 😎
In recent years especially, tankinis have undergone a style revival. They’re no longer the slightly frumpy swimwear of your youth.
A halter tankini is the perfect way to stay in style while controlling the amount you show. Halter tops have a long history in fashion.
They’ve been part of nearly every garment, like the formal gowns in the 1930s, crop tops of the women’s rights movement in the late 1960s, and the infamous halter tops of the 2000s.
So say goodbye to adjusting your bikini top this summer and try our list of fashionable tankinis this swim season!

FAQ
Who should wear a tankini?
Tankinis are perfect for anyone regardless of your age, body type, or size.
They’re the best of both worlds for anyone who is looking for some more coverage and support without sacrificing the flirty, feminine look of a bikini.
Halter tankinis are great if you have a larger bust, especially if you pick one which has underwire support, so you don’t have to constantly tug and readjust your top.
