WHAT ARE THE MOST SUPPORTIVE SWIMWEAR STYLES?
To ensure the most supportive swimwear for larger busts and small busts alike, go for swimwear in these styles:
Opt for Underwired Styles: They provide a lifted shape, comfortable support, and prevent riding up.
Look for Halter Neck Ties: They offer a flattering style that elongates your neck and chest while providing extra lift and comfortable support.
Adjustability is Key: Straps and cups should be adjustable to your shape and size, so you can get the right support for your exact fit.
THE MOST SUPPORTIVE BIKINI TOPS
A supportive bikini top doesn't get better than our year-after-year bestseller, the Ibiza plunge bikini top. An underwired bikini top that provides firm yet comfortable support. The ruched and adjustable cups keep you in control of your cleavage too.
Versatility is key to Summer styling, so grab the Honolulu strapless bikini top while you can. Crinkle fabric and boning provide a textured, structured fit, and the detachable halter strap adds extra lift when needed. The wide band means you can wear it without the straps and still have a stunning, supportive bandeau bikini!
For a mix of style and substance, choose the Sorrento plunge bikini top. An effortless combination of plunge and halter neck styles, the strawberry shade suits sun-kissed skin, and the cup detailing adds a supportive, seamless touch.
If you want your tan to stand out, the Amalfi crinkle balconette bikini top in stunning white is the perfect choice. Ruched cups and wide straps are fully adjustable for a perfect fit. The underwired balconette style offers support comparable to your most supportive bra, exactly what you want from a bikini top!
