Women's bikinis

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a bikini?

  A bikini is a two-piece swimsuit set that covers your bust and bottom but leaves your torso exposed. They can come in a range of styles, from minimalist string bikini tops to halter tops with more coverage. A bikini set is also ideal if you love to lounge under the sun. With more of your midsection uncovered, you can ensure you achieve a more even tan with minimal lines.

• How to tie a bikini?

  For triangle bikini tops, try an alternative way to the classic look by tying the bikini around the neck before putting it on. Then pull the cups apart, slip it on like a jacket, and tie the front together. Instead, make yours a bandeau bikini top style by starting with the top upside down and tie it around your waist as normal. Then, tie the front just below your bust, creating a peek-a-boo effect.

• How to choose a quality bikini

  As you browse through your swimwear options, make sure you pick out a good-quality bikini by looking at the material and design. A quick-drying fabric is best after swimming, so you don’t have to wait too long before putting on your cover-up. You can check Calzedonia’s options such as underwiring for more support, cups with removable padding, and double-layered fabric. The quality of our craftsmanship also contributes to the longevity of our bikinis, ensuring you can wear it for seasons to come.

• Are bikinis comfortable?

  Yes, bikinis are comfortable for almost everyone, provided you choose a style and size that suits your needs. If you want a more modest set, consider picking a design with more coverage. Alternatively, if you prefer a minimalist look, a bikini top and bottom with less fabric may be better for you. No matter your preferences, taking your measurements and cross-referencing them with our size guide will help you pick a size that complements your curves best.

• What can I wear over a bikini?

  Wear a long dress over your bikini to capture an effortlessly elegant style that remains versatile for post-swim dinners on the beach. If you’re lounging in your backyard or beachside with friends, consider slipping on a pair of short shorts and oversized T-shirt for a laid-back, beachy feel. Alternatively, browse our range of beachwear cover-ups for a full range of options.
