Women's swim tops

The top and bottom separate

Buying the top and bottom of a swimsuit separately allows you to choose each piece in your size: the bust and hips don’t always match the same size. It's also a chance to mix and match, a plain top with a printed bottom, or two different bottoms for one top. For fuller busts, brands like Freya and Fantasie size their tops according to the band and cup size, just like a bra.

The rest of the swimsuits

Swimsuits also come in:

• Swimsuit bottoms.
• One-piece swimsuits.
• Two-piece swimsuits.
• Sarongs.

All swimsuits are gathered on the swimsuit page.

Types of tops

The underwired top, like the Freya Nomad Nights or the Fantasie East Hampton, supports and shapes the bust like a bra. The plunge, like the Freya Nomad Nights and Kailua Shores, dips in a V shape. The heart-shaped neckline creates a flattering rounded shape. The halter neck, tied at the back of the neck, lifts the bust. The bandeau, with no straps, avoids tan lines. The triangle, adjustable, is suitable for smaller busts. The Red Point Gina loop top adds a fashionable detail.

Tankini and care

The tankini, like the Regatta Aceana and Loria, is a long top that covers the tummy, paired with a bikini bottom, combines the coverage of a one-piece with the practicality of a two-piece: it's easier to change. The brands Red Point, Banana Moon, a French beach brand, Inaska and Triumph play with prints and colours. After each swim, you should rinse the swimsuit in fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, and sunscreen, then dry it flat, in the shade, without wringing it out.

Good deals

Great deals can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday.

Frequently asked questions

Which swimsuit top for a small bust?

The triangle, the ruffled bandeau, or the padded push-up top add volume and enhance a small bust. Prints and details, like knots or gathers, also provide some dimension.

Which swimsuit top for a large bust?

An underwired top, cut like a bra at the band and cup size, offers the best support. Freya and Fantasie offer options for larger cups; wide straps relieve shoulder pressure.

Why choose a tankini rather than a bikini?

The tankini, a long top covering the tummy, paired with a bikini bottom, offers more coverage while keeping the practicality of a two-piece. Regatta models are practical for swimming, playing with children, or paddleboarding.

How to choose the size of a swimsuit top?

Base your choice on your bra size for cup models, and on your usual size for triangles and bandeaus. Buying the top and bottom separately allows you to adjust each piece to your body shape.

How to make a swimsuit last?

Rinse it in fresh water after each swim, hand wash it in cold water, and leave it to dry flat, in the shade. Salt, chlorine, sunscreen, and sunlight degrade elastane and fade colours.
