Tankini – Revolution In Swimwear

Had you ever heard the word "tankini" 10 years ago? Even 5 years ago? Most dictionaries don't recognise the word, yet in the last 2 months thousands of people have typed in "tankini" and it's variations into search engines over the internet in search of this new and very popular item. It's real and it's in demand.

So what is a tankini?
A cross between a tank and a bikini; a 2 piece that looks like a one piece; a top with matching pants; a vertical twin set; a swimsuit that can double as a top to wear as an outerwear garment.

So what makes the tankini so popular?
Tankinis are versatile in their wearability and fit. Many women complain that swimsuits aren't long enough in the torso. Now the long body no longer needs to be a problem. Wedgies are a thing of the past. Sore shoulders and necks are no more.

The price conscious get a "bonus" top with their purchase. Expectant mothers love the expanding nature of the tankini as their proportions change and as their bodies recover, so does the tankini. The 2 pieces of the tankini make it very comfortable and practical. No need to expose that not-so-taut tummy anymore.
With all these things going for it, the tankini is definitely here to stay. And just because it's comfortable and practical doesn't mean it has to be boring. On the contrary...

There are halter, strapless and tank tankinis; tankinis that show the midriff and those that cover it up; skirted tankinis, gathered tankinis, and split tankinis. The varieties are endless. They are a designer’s dream and a woman's answered prayer.
