Following on from my post about must-have one piece swimsuits, now I’m looking at two pieces – something that can be a big step in terms of body confidence for some people. Do you want to wear a two piece but don’t want to bare your stomach? Or do you have a long torso and find it hard to get a swimsuit that works for you? Tankinis are the perfect answer! You can mix and match them for the perfect combination for you…
I’m going to make the call and say that this is the coolest tankini I’ve ever seen. Not just because of the snakeskin print (which is amazing), but because of the sizing options. If you’re large busted like I am, you’ll probably know my pain of finding it very difficult to find swimsuits that are made with a bust larger than a D cup in mind (for reference, the bra I’m wearing now is a 20J). The Bespokefit tankinis come in a range of bust sizes – standard (B-DD), voluptuous (E-GG) and very voluptuous (H-K), and are available in US sizes 8-28 (AU/NZ 12-32) hurray!

What can I say – I’m really loving the animal print at the moment! Who doesn’t love a little bit of leopard print for that extra reow! factor. Available in US sizes 10-24 (AU/NZ 14-28).

Want a bright suit that really stands out? This neon pink tankini reminds me of the neon pink zinc I had as a child, and neons will forever remind me of long hot summer days (seriously though, does anyone else remember zinc?!). This tankini features a built-in Cacique balconette bra and is available in sizes 38DD-44DDD.

I adore this print – it instantly makes me imagine myself lying by the pool sipping fruity cocktails in a tropical paradise! Available in CC sizes XS-XL (14-24).
SHOP IT: Amazonia Printed Tankini, $99.99 from City Chic
There’s a very retro feel to this suit – I love the print and the colours, and think the style is super cute! The tankini top is a halterneck and the bottoms are shorty style with ties on the sides. Available in US sizes 8-28 (AU/NZ 12-32).
SHOP IT: Blue Wahoo Tankini Set, USD $45.95 from Simply Be
Yes, I’m aware that this is another animal print swimsuit. Don’t judge me okay, for some reason I really like animal print bathing suits at the moment. And this one is grey and pink, so it’s totally different. It comes in other patterns if you’d prefer something else, but this one is my fave. Available in sizes 16-32.

I’ve got to be honest – it’s not often that I go for tribal prints. However, I do really like this one – the colours are beautiful and neutral, and I love the design – for someone like me who has an hourglass figure, a print like this will help to enhance that. Available in CC sizes XS-XL (14-24).
SHOP IT: Marrakech Print Tankini Top, $99.99 from City Chic
I bought the swimsuit version of this tankini this week and I’m not sorry! It looks and feels so good on (I’ll be sure to take photos when I wear it to the beach), and I have no doubt that this top is exactly the same. It comes in a range of different colours and patterns and is available in sizes 16-26.

With this suit you’ll be a shimmering bronze goddess! What a gorgeous colour. Now, if you’d rather wear a baggy tee because you don’t want to show off your stomach, this is a great style to allow you to swim in comfort (and safety – swimming in clothes can be dangerous!). The tiered ruffles will skim over your stomach so the suit doesn’t look as “clingy” as a regular suit. Available in US sizes 14-22 (AU/NZ 18-26).
SHOP IT: Cacique Plus Tiered Ruffle Swim Tank, USD $23.98 from Lane Bryant
How gorgeous is this tankini? It reminds me of a watermelon – one of the quintessential fruits of summer! Available in US sizes 10-24 (AU/NZ 14-28).

I love them all! just wish there was a way of trying them all on! I think my fav’s would be the Cacique Plus Tiered Ruffle Swim Tank and Sara Crossover Tankini Top
These suits are gorgeous Meagan! One query though – I had a look on the UK and USA Simple Be websites and they say they don’t deliver outside of those countries. Do you know another way to purchase their clothing? Many thanks, Eve.
Hi Eve, you can use a freight forwarding company like YouShop! The company you purchase from sends it to an address in the USA (or UK) and then they send it on to you. I haven’t used it myself but I know a lot of people swear by it!
