When it comes to swimwear, tankinis really do deserve more love. Known for providing more coverage, and often times more support, tankinis are a bathing suit option we often forget about. If you have ever worn a tankini (we're assuming you have if you're here!), then you probably already know that it’s one of the most comfortable styles to wear (even if the last time you did wear one was in middle school). We're here to inform you that tankinis never really went out of style, and that there are a ton to choose from—whatever it may be that you're looking for.

What's a tankini?

Now, for those who don’t know what a tankini is, it’s essentially a two-piece bathing suit that covers your midriff. Tankinis had a really big fashion moment in the late '90s, but their popularity started to decline in the early 2000s. But with all things fashion, what's out usually always come back in, and that can be said of the tankini. People usually tap them for their functionality and versatility. For example, if you don’t like to show that much skin but like to be in a two piece, then a tankini is the perfect solution.

Whether you're looking for tankini top with shorts, or a tankini halter, here are some of the best tankini swimsuits for you to swipe this summer.
