I've Tested Countless Swimsuits, and These Tankinis Are My Vacation Favorites—From $28
When it comes to travel essentials, tossing a swimsuit or two in your carry-on is always a good idea. Summer is the perfect time to treat yourself to new vacation swimwear that's versatile, comfortable, and flattering. If you love the convenience of a two-piece, but prefer a little more coverage than your typical bikini, you'll be happy to know tankinis are trending again—and today's styles are more flattering than ever. The best part? Tankinis are perfect for mixing and matching, so you can shop for separates as well as sets. Keep scrolling for my favorite tankini swimsuits from Boden, Summersalt, Cupshe, and more shopper-loved swimsuit brands, starting at $28. Best Tankini Swimsuits Cupshe V-neck Criss-cross Ruched Tankini Amazon I recently took this Cupshe tankini on a Colorado road trip and was pleasantly surprised at how stylish and functional it was. The top provided impressive lift and support, and the ruching was so flattering, I even posted a few selfies on Instagram from my waterfall hike to Treasure Falls. I loved wearing this suit to the hotel pool, then just slipping on pants and wearing the top like a tank when I had to run back to the room or stop by the lobby bar. Travel + Leisure Carve Designs Stinson Tankini Amazon There are so many great tankini tops at Amazon, like this style from Carve Designs. Keep things simple by grabbing a basic bikini bottom and then mixing and matching with different tops. This black tankini from Carve Designs has a built-in shelf bra, removable pads, and an athletic back. It also comes with a UPF 50+ rating for optimal sun protection. One Amazon reviewer raved about its comfort, saying it was 'very, very comfortable' and 'stays put all day.' Beachsissi V-neck Tummy Control Tankini Amazon If you haven't tried a V-neck, ruched swimsuit, I'm here to tell you it's an extremely flattering style—especially in a tankini. Seriously, once you slip into this Beachsissi tankini set, you'll be ready to head to the pool or beach with confidence. I love the selection of solid tops and floral print bikini bottoms. My favorites are the sky blue top with cornflower bottoms and the light pink top with orange blossom bottoms. Tommy Hilfiger Classic Bikini Bottom Amazon If you're looking for a basic bikini bottom to pair with a variety of tankini tops, this Tommy Hilfiger is it. This classic bottom provides UPF 50+ sun protection, comes in a variety of colors, and earns top reviews for comfort and rear coverage. One shopper praised the cut of the bottom, saying, '[It's] hard to find a suit with good rear coverage. This one is perfect.' Boden Enhancer Tankini Top Boden If you're seeking a swimsuit with great support, look no further. A halter-style tankini with a true built-in bra (underwire and padded cups), the Enhancer Tankini from Boden was made to flatter. According to reviewers, the suit works well for both small and large busts, with a 38DD shopper saying it fit perfectly, and another small-busted reviewer noting, 'This tankini top is super flattering on my modest 34A bust. It fits really well without any gaping, and the padding gives a much-needed bit of shape.' Lands' End Tulip Hem Tankini Top Land's End Lands' End has gone all in on tankinis. With five fit categories (classic length, modern length, midkini length, high neck, and plus-size) and dozens of styles, it's easy to find the cut and color that best suits your body type. The Tulip Hem Tankini Top offers even more choices, with nearly 20 colors and patterns to choose from, as well as petite, regular, and long torso options. A built-in bra and adjustable straps ensure comfort, while the tulip hemline flatters your midline. Bonus: The fabric is chlorine-resistant, so go ahead and hit the pool without worrying about damage. That goes for you, too, since this tankini comes with UPF 50 sun protection. Summersalt Cinched Square-neck Tankini Top Summersalt I own more than a few tankinis, but I couldn't resist adding this cute Summersalt pick to my cart. It has ruching, and it's adjustable. Also, the wide straps and flirty side bows are fun additions. Plus, it includes a shelf bra and the elusive sewn-in cups. You can feel good about the fabric too—it's made with recycled post-consumer materials, including old fishing nets pulled from the ocean. La Blanca Island Goddess Halter Tankini Top Amazon I'm a longtime La Blanca swimsuit fan. They know a woman's body, and I have multiple swimsuits from the brand that not only look great, but the quality stands up over time. This Island Goddess Halter Tankini Top has wide supportive straps, a sexy plunging neckline, and flattering tummy ruching. And if ocean swimming and body surfing are on your vacation schedule, reviewers claim it stays perfectly in place in the water. Patagonia Cami Tankini Top REI As you would expect, REI has several sporty tankini options. I like this Cami Tankini Top from Patagonia that reminds me of my favorite yoga sports bra. It's a supportive, full-coverage top that holds you in securely for swimming in the ocean or frolicking with the kids in the hotel pool. The top is available in black or a beautiful, subtly striped blue. For the bottoms, choose from a variety of Patagonia styles with a range of coverage, from bikini bottoms to board shorts. Lilly Pulitzer Brenta Tankini Top Lilly Pulitzer Leave it to Lilly Pulizer to create the ultimate luxe tankini for looking great poolside or cruising around the resort in comfort and style. This top has a flattering V-neck design with adjustable straps and light shirring through the torso, plus removable cups for customizable coverage. The gold shell detailing is such a nice touch, too. Pair this tankini top with the Betie Bikini Bottom, a mid-rise hipster with moderate back coverage, and you're ready for an unforgettable vacation. The suit takes up little suitcase space, and it's made with quick-drying fabric, so it's super easy to rinse in the hotel sink and dry overnight. Travel + Leisure Love a great deal?

It's 'tankini summer' – and it's already sparking online debate
The tankini is igniting social media debate over modesty at the beach. For some, tankinis are reminiscent of being a preteen: A bikini bottom or shorts paired with what is essentially a waterproof crop top was often the first graduation from the one-pieces of childhood to swimming in a two-piece. Or perhaps they were the performance swimsuit you remember your mom or guardian wearing, the front swath of fabric adding extra coverage targeted for people with post-birth or pregnant bellies. Either way, the tankini has gotten a revamp in 2025, with popular retailers from ASOS to Cupshe marketing these tummy-covering two pieces to some shoppers who likely haven't worn one since the summer before seventh grade. These upgraded tankinis offer refreshed color palettes and not-so-boxy designs, but don't totally skimp on the style with unexpected cut-outs and cute patterns that paired seamlessly with a skirt or shorts. But the tankini takeover has prompted some social media users to wonder if the resurgence is as innocuous as pure 2000s nostalgia, or whether it's a totem of a cultural shift that wants women to cover-up. "I don't know if the modesty propaganda is working on me or if they're actually just making cute tankinis this year," one TikToker mused. "Every ad I've seen for tankini, is the cutest tankini I've ever seen and I must have it. Am I going to be wearing tankinis all summer? Is it working?" Tankini summer indicates America's zeitgeist, said Lorynn Divita, associate professor of Apparel Design and Merchandising at Baylor University. There's been a lot of attention to nudity (or lack thereof) this year: Some attendees at this year's Met Gala caused a firestorm for a slew of naked looks. Then, the Cannes 2025 Film Festival banned nude gowns on its red carpet. Seeming ubiquitous cut-out booty shorts and strappy crop-tops have sparked debate over modesty at the gym. And let's not forget Miley Cyrus turning heads in a completely sheer dress just this week. "I'm not a fan of whatever direction we're going in," another TikToker said, arguing tankinis have a nefarious subtext young women are falling for. The same creator later posted the "tankini police" came for her when she tried to call out this so-called "random radical shift to more conservative clothes." Meanwhile, others said a little more bandwidth offers inclusive, cute options for a range of body types and lifestyles. One fan posted she loved how a tankini was "modest and spicy at the same time." Another stated it shouldn't even be a debate: "Just stop the discourse. It's so unnecessary ... It just puts women back!" Summersalt, PacSun and more 👙 Shopping guide for where to buy bathing suits On one hand, the internet is valid in sensing a "significant shift" toward traditional gender roles in fashion, according to Leora Tanenbaum, author of "Sexy Selfie Nation." Clothes associated with stereotypical femininity, even if they are a revealing bikini, are popular right now, she said. Look no further than dominance of the "low-cut milkmaid dress" garments that accentuates "womanly" aspects like breast cleavage, Tanenbaum said. "There is a very narrow aesthetic ideal of femininity," she said. But at the same time, the internet's battle misses the point women will face "relentless" sexualization no matter what swimsuit they choose this summer, Tanenbaum said. "I see the tankini debate not as much as pressure to look modest, but more as young people saying 'I am just so sick of being objectified,'" Tanenbaum added. "There's no way to win this. On the hand, if you wear a bikini, you open yourself up to slut-shaming because of the presupposition that someone who dresses in a revealing way is 'asking for it.' But if you wear a tankini, you're seen as deficient as a woman because you're rejecting being sexy according to a binary way." Wellness coverage from USA TODAY: Online, young female OnlyFans stars make their lives look aspirational. Is it problematic? If the aim of wearing a tankini is to avoid sexualization, "that is a losing battle," according to Tanenbaum. But for people who wear tankinis to feel empowered mentally and physically, she said to "own it." "We all have the right to feel a sense of autonomy and ownership over our own bodies and if that little extra piece of fabric gives us that self-empowerment, we should wear it." People might also just be tired of what's in their closet and want to try something new. "We've reached fatigue level of teeny teeny bikinis, what's going to look fresh?"
