Tankini swimwear: What it is and why it is flattering to curvy women

Tankini’s  are a great for pool and beach. They offer women a versatile solution as tankini tops can be mixed and matched with different bottoms and vice versa. But what is really great about Tankini swimwear is that it creates a flattering look for curvy women.

Tankini swimwear is the perfect solution for women who feel uncomfortable or restricted by swimming costumes but do not want to reveal so much of their bodies in a bikini. Tankini’s are excellent for hiding the bits you don’t want seen and can create slimmer looking tummies and hips. What is not to love about tankini swimwear?

Of course, Evans has a great selection of tankini swimwear designed with the curvy figure in mind. They have many styles with modern prints but I love the retro look of the black Evans Black Diamonte Tankini Top with its flattering ruched detailing over the cups and eye-catching diamante detailing. The cups are padded and have a supportive shelf lining to ensure support and shape. What is more, this tankini top has been reduced from £25.00 to £20.00 and is available up to a size 28. This tankini top can be teamed with the Evans Black Bikini Bottoms which have a adjustable tie detail on each side and have been reduced from £12.00 to £10.00; or my fave, the Evans Black Swim Skirt (with underneath knickers) which covers the hips and has been reduced from £16.00 to £12.00 (both available up to a size 32).
