There may be freezing temperatures where you live, but somewhere in the world it is a sultry summer day and that means it is swimsuit weather. The tankini, a more modest version of the bikini, has redefined beach chic with styles that are bold and beautiful. This latest fashion trend in women’s swimsuits has a tank top rather than the more common bra top style.

In woman’s swimwear swimsuits, this style actually started to become popular in the 1980s, but it has finally reached a peak in the world of beach chic. The tank tops may reveal a little bit of the midriff, as some versions may leave an inch or two exposed. Other styles may fit directly to the waist of the bottom, thus providing more coverage. However, the bottoms may be anything from a thong or g-string to panties and modest square-cut shorts. These types of womens swimsuits can be especially flattering for the plus size woman, as they offer good bust support and the bottoms can be anything from a skirt to shorts. The skirted bottom has great coverage for fuller thighs and all versions allow for ways to minimize the flaws without sacrificing style or comfort.

Some women who have short torsos state that the break between a tankini top and bottom is not the most flattering look for them. However, women with a longer torso feel that sometimes a one piece swimsuit is too short and uncomfortable. So for these women, tankinis give the illusion of a shorter torso and are much more comfortable. An added bonus is the fact that you can mix and match the tops and bottoms, thus providing you with several stylish choices.

Women have also reported that this style provides more security than a sexy bikini bra top, leading to fewer accidental exposures. For the more curvaceous women it is a good idea to look for the type where skin coverage between the top and bottom is at a maximum. If it is shorter, then there is a chance of excess bulging. Their versatility makes them a very popular choice to either play down the flaws or enhance the assets.

A tankini is the perfect choice if you want to feel sexy and stylish without feeling overly exposed. They are great for different beach sports, such as swimming, water skiing and beach volleyball. These two piece swimsuit tankinis also reduce the chance of a mishap or over exposure happening, as might happen with a bikini. Women of any age will find them a great choice for exposing just a little, which is perfect for tweens, yet stylish enough to please everyone.
