The Great Swimwear Compromise - Tankinis

It's the beginning of summer, and there are almost too many swimwear options to choose from. However, none seem right. Many women have trouble deciding on a style of swimsuit. There's the constant struggle of whether to choose a trendy bikini, or a one piece that will hide your flaws. Fortunately, there's another option. Tankinis are a fantastic compromise between typical types of swimwear.

What exactly is a tankini? Well, it's pretty much what it sounds like. The top of a tankini is built like a tank top, while the bottom is just a regular bikini bottom. Boyshorts or skirted bottoms are common with tankinis, but any style of bottom is possible.

Tankini tops come in essentially the same styles as bikini tops. There's the halter top, triangle top, bandeau top, and others. Whichever kind fits you best as a bikini is the same kind you should be wearing as a tankini. Tankini tops vary in length and tightness. Play around with different cuts of top until you find something flattering for your body shape. There are so many styles you're bound to find something you like.

Tankinis often come in bright colors and bold patterns. There's something fun about a tankini that just calls for an exciting print. You can mix and match patterns if you like, or choose a solid color. It's completely up to you; that's the magic of the tankini.

Women choose tankinis over other swimwear styles for many reasons. Tankinis hide flaws more than bikinis, but are less constricting than one pieces. The wide variety of tankini tops means more chances to find something that fits you well and flatters your body. With bikinis and one piece swimsuits, there aren't as many style options.

Tankinis are good family swimsuits too. They're modest yet fun for young girls to wear, with their bright colors and interesting patterns. They also allow a wide range of movement. Shopping for a tankini can be a great mother-daughter bonding experience.

As you can see, the advantages of a tankini are enormous. It's an excellent balance between too revealing and too much coverage. It's customizable and fun to wear. Finally, it's more flattering to a lot of body types than other swimwear options are. If you're indecisive about the right kind of swimwear for you, try a tankini.
