What is it?
The concept of tankini appeared as a result of the combination of two English words: "bikini" and "tank top" (knitted T-shirt). The swimsuit is the middle link between the one-piece and separate models, only the upper and lower parts are not combined. The style is not considered frank, closed female forms speak of chastity.
The beach suit consists of a tank top and panties. There are also sets with shorts and skirts. The shirt can be with or without cups. To keep the top well, drawstrings, thick and thin straps are used.

Materials (edit)
It is very important to purchase not only a cute swimsuit, but also a high-quality one that will not harm the health of its owner. Bathing suits are made from the following materials:
- Lycra is a durable, highly stretchable synthetic fabric. Resistant to chlorine, which will appeal to those who like to swim in the pool. The swimsuit should contain no more than 30% Lycra. Otherwise, the air will not pass through the fabric, the body will not breathe.
- Taktel (a combination of lycra and knitted fibers) is a soft, elastic fabric with good breathability. Dries quickly not only in the sun, but also in the shade. Polyamide is a tactile with a more pronounced shine. If the addition to it is no more than 16% lycra, then the suit will last quite a long time.
- Microfiber - has corrective properties, tightens the figure and gives it beautiful shapes. Silky fabric is elastic, resistant to chlorine, dries in a short time.
- Nylon is a fast drying material. Does not wrinkle, perfectly breathable.
- Cotton is a breathable fabric. It will last for several seasons if it contains at least 15% lycra. The combination of cotton and polyester is not the best - the swimsuit will not fade in the sun, but after drying it will quickly lose its original shape.

A V-neck tankini lengthens the neck and makes it graceful. When purchasing a model with a skirt and shaping inserts, you should not choose swimsuits with thin straps, thong panties, lace-up decor - this will visually increase the volume of the hips, chest, and waist. Sexy open panties can only be worn by young ladies with slender legs and perfect buttocks.

A great choice for athletic girls is a T-shirt with intersecting straps at the back. There are swimsuits that allow you to sunbathe calmly - ultraviolet light will pass through the fabric. Such models are not cheap. If the budget does not allow you to buy such a tankini, then you should opt for cheap, but no less quality, bathing suits.
