Is summer here yet? If yes, it’s time to hit the beach. Who wouldn’t love to enjoy the summer holidays at the beach and spend the rest of the evenings drinking and having the best seafood available? Even if it’s just a weekend, you have to spend the time enjoying and making your friends and family happy. Spend quality time with your pals and take a bunch of photos for social media. When it comes to pictures, there are no proper beach selfies without swimwear. And there are no better and more fashionable swimwear trends than tankinis. The tankini has been in the talk for a few years, and it has captured a lot of people’s attention. Though they are a new trend, it looks like they will stay longer than the other trends.
There is a reason why this swimsuit became the favourite of women. This article will list the four main reasons this swimwear has become so popular in such a short time.
Reasons why tankinis are awesome:
They are great for modest coverage.
Not all, but most of them offer better coverage than a bikini and other two-piece swimsuits. You must be thinking, why people don’t just buy the one-piece swimsuit? That’s because tankinis are not similar to a one-piece swimsuit; it is actually a two-piece swimsuit that looks like a tank top and a bikini bottom; that’s how it got its name (portmanteau).
Some prefer a bikini as it doesn’t restrict physical activities such as surfing and a volleyball game. Some prefer a one-piece as it helps swim and play in the water without worrying about wardrobe malfunctions. This swimwear offers the comfort of a bikini and one-piece like coverage, which is why people love it.
Great for watersport
As mentioned above, this swimsuit can offer the comfort of a one-piece, which means you can go surfing and swim in stronger tides without frequently adjusting the swimsuit. And if riding a jet ski and Marco Polo are your favourite activities in the water, then a tankini is what you need.
Great for women of all heights
One more reason why this swimsuit became so popular is its ability to fit into every body type. And no fashion rule says you must wear this swimsuit in a specific way/fashion. The versatility and simplicity make this swimwear ideal for every body type. Wearing this swimsuit is like wearing a tank top and a bikini bottom, the simplest and most flattering thing.
Looks good on plus-size women
Bikinis are not the first preference for chubby women, and many feel one-piece suits are a bit restrictive. That’s why the tankinis became an instant hit in the plus-size market. Plus-size women prefer this swimsuit as it offers more skin coverage and it’s easy to wear.
Women who recently had mastectomy also prefer this swimsuit as it helps them hide the scars from the surgery—it covers the upper body adequately. Women who are recovering from a C-section can also wear this swimsuit (to conceal the scar). Some feel the one-piece is too tight for the tummy after the surgery, leaving tankini as a last resort.
Overall, this swimsuit is here to stay, and the recent trends and reports also shed light on the fact that people now prefer tankinis over the other swimwear types.
