Supportive bikini tops: where the support actually comes from
If you swim, surf or just want to move without fixing your top every five minutes, the support has to be built in. So let's talk about where a bikini top's support actually comes from, and how our crossback and halter compare.
It's the band, babe
In a bra, most of the holding is done by the band around your ribs. Swimwear works the same way, but loads of bikini tops leave all the work to one skinny neck tie. A band that sits flat under your bust spreads the load and stops your top riding up when you push off a wall or a wave hits.
Crossback or halter?
Crossback straps meet behind your shoulders, so they're harder to knock off when you reach or paddle. A halter wraps up around your neck and is perfect for calmer swims and beach days. Our Racer is the crossback; the Club Halter is a minimal micro crop halter.
Our tops, honestly
Both are medium support, double lined and padding-free, made for swimming, surfing and beach days. If you need high support, look for a wide longline band and wide straps. We'd rather tell you now than have you find out during a HIIT class.
Red flags
Triangle tops with sliding cups, single thin ties at the neck and loose knits that go see-through when wet. And removable padding isn't support. Structure and fabric density are.
