When it comes to unique swimwear options, Tankini swimsuits are by far the most distinctive. With their high coverage, comfortable fit, and sleek style, this item is everything your swim drawer is missing. There are plenty of styles to choose from with this type of women’sbathing suit, including halter tankini tops, bandeau tankini tops, high-neck tankini tops, and more.
When choosing to wear a tankini, you are getting the best of both worlds. If you love to take a dip in the ocean to cool off from lying in the sun, you don’t want to be worried about accidentally flashing someone nearby. On the other hand, a one-piece bathing suit might not fit your style and preferences. When you slip on a tankini, you don’t have to choose between comfort and style.
While they were all the rage in years past, this spring and summer are the perfect seasons to reconnect with this effortlessly-chic swim top style. Your new favorite two-piece just might be a tankini top paired with some high-waistedbikini bottoms.
Below are some of Andie Swim’s favorite Tankinis for every style, occasion, and personality.
The Siren Rash Guard
No one says that support and coverage have to be boring! No matter what size of chest you have, you should feel comfortable taking walks on the beach, jumping in the waves, or even playing sand volleyball in your bathing suit. At Andie Swim, we understand the importance of style and support, as shown through one of our best-selling tankini tops, the Siren Tank.
This tankini swim top’s square neckline evokes an evening wear flair while the stretchy, fitted fabric gives you support and structure for the perfect level of hold. It’s a slimming look that provides the full coverage of a one-piece swimsuit while still showing off some skin. It’s one of our best-sellers for a reason.
Additionally, it comes in a sleek black neutral that pairs with everything and two limited edition shades — blue floral and plum. his top pairs wonderfully with a variety of bottoms, making mixing and matching totally seamless.
The Longline Tankini Set
While it’s fun to throw some bold and unique pieces into your swimsuit collection, you want to make sure you have the basics covered first. Having a few basic pieces that are confidence-boosting, simple, and reliable will help reduce any stress about packing for a beach or pool day.
When looking for the perfect top that has plenty of coverage while still offering a flattering silhouette, and can be a staple in your swimsuit wardrobe, try out the Longline Tankini. This top wraps your upper body in soft and comfortable fabrics while accentuating the curves of your chest and waist.

The Canary V-Neck Tankini Top
If you think that choosing a tankini top means giving up the opportunity to show off your curves or add flair to your look, you haven’t seen all of our options yet:
The Canary V-Neck Tankini Topis made to give you coverage and support while still giving you a unique design and silhouette. This top comes in black and deep plum and will hug you in all the right places.
This underwire tankini top provides you with maximum chest support, but the scoop neck gives it an added layer of style. The princess seams are also to thank for the chest support since they prevent the material from gapping or digging into your skin.

This top also rocks adjustable straps — it’s the Swiss Army Knife of swim tops. This is a perfect option for any body type, offering the extra coverage of a classic tankini bathing suit. A fantastic pick for lounging by the pool.
The Snap Tank Top
What more could you ask for in a bikini top than the perfect amount of coverage, support, comfort, and a totally cute style that will leave you feeling stylish and confident? This might seem like an impossible task, but The Snap Tank Topchecks all of these boxes and more. The square neck is daring yet elevated at the same time for a tankini swimsuit top that you’ll want to wear as a regular t-shirt!
The snap-front support gives you the same support that you love in your favoritepush-up bra but offers tankini-style coverage. Because the snaps extend from the top to the bottom, it’s a choose-your-own-cleavage adventure.
If you are planning on playing in the pool with your kids, you can secure each snap so that you feel completely held in. For reading a book by the pool or soaking up some sun, you can undo a few snaps to give your top a whole new look.
This top can be paired with boy shorts, tie-front bottoms, or any other bottom you prefer. Additionally, the top hits you in the sweet spot, allowing you to choose between low-rise or high-rise bikini bottoms. If you truly want to tap into the current Y2K trends, pair this top with a pair of colorblock bottoms to get that throwback look.
What To Pair With Your Tankini
If you are used to buying whatever bottoms match the bikini top you are buying, feel free to let yourself play around a little more. Try to customize your look to whatever will fit your taste best and make you feel confident as you strut down the beach or pool deck.
Low-Rise Bottom
Low-rise bottoms are making an impressive and trendy comeback in everything from jeans to bathing suit bottoms. Low-rise bikini bottoms pair extremely well with tankini tops because, when paired together, they leave a strip of skin showing on your lower tummy, which is a fun and flirty look.
However, we understand the hesitation to wear a low-rise bottom, but with Andie Swim, you won’t have to worry about bending over and revealing back cleavage to the world. Try the classic Bikini Bottom for a low-rise fit that still covers everything in the back and sits firmly on your hips. It comes in many different colors, which gives you the ability to compliment whatever color or pattern you have chosen for your tankini top.
High-Rise Bottom
If low-rise bottoms aren’t your thing, there’s no need to worry. Tankini tops pair just as well with high-rise bottoms, a more full-coverage option. Because of the length of a tankini and the rise of a high-waisted bottom, they often slightly overlap when paired together.
This is a wonderful choice if you like the look of a one-piece but don't like the restrictions that they can give you. With a tankini and high-waisted bottom combination, your tummy will be covered, but there is no chance of an accidental wedgie when you raise your arms up.
Try out our High-Waisted Bottom for the perfect addition to your favorite tankini.
Accessories
While it’s never necessary to go to the beach or the pool with anything more than your swimsuit and a bottle of sunscreen, it can be fun to style an outfit around your swimsuit.
What’s wonderful about the amount of coverage tankinis offer is how versatile they are. If you are lying on the beach and need to run into your hotel’s gift shop for a bottle of water, your tankini will double as a crop top. For the perfect beach resort look, pair your tankini top with a sarong skirt, a wide-brimmed hat, and your favorite pair of shades.
If you are running into a poolside restaurant for a bite to eat, you can pair your tankini top with a pair of denim shorts, sandals, and a baseball hat for a casual look.
Everything You Need
Tankinis are a charming take on the classic bikini top that will flatter every body type and will offer the support and coverage that so many women are looking for in their swimwear. No matter what your personal taste is, whether you prefer bold pieces, simple looks, interesting designs, or retro features, there is a tankini for you.
