Quick answer
Start by choosing the right size, then adjust the multiway straps and drawstring sides to match your activity and desired coverage. A few simple tweaks turn one tankini into a versatile swim top.
Why a multiway tankini is a smart choice
A non-wired multiway tankini top gives you the coverage of a tankini with the flexibility of convertible straps. You can wear it as a halter, cross-back, or classic straight strap — ideal for different necklines and sun protection needs. The drawstring sides let you fine-tune the fit, so the top stays secure whether you're swimming or lounging.
Common fit mistake to avoid
Many people skip the side adjustment and wear the straps too loose or too tight. If the straps dig in, the top is too small or the straps are set too short. If the band rides up, tighten the side drawstrings or adjust the straps to a lower setting. A proper fit means the tankini stays in place without constant pulling.
How to wear your multiway tankini top
- 1. Choose your strap configuration: Decide how you want to wear the straps: halter (tied at the neck), cross-back (crisscross behind), or straight (over the shoulders). The multiway design lets you switch without tools. For active swimming, cross-back or halter gives the most security. For lounging or tanning, straight straps are comfortable and easy. Test each configuration at home before your beach day to see which feels most secure.
- 2. Adjust the side drawstrings: Tighten or loosen the drawstrings at each side to fine-tune the fit around your ribcage. Pull them evenly so the top sits flat and doesn't gap. If the top feels loose, tighten the strings. If it rides up, loosen them slightly. The goal is a snug but not tight fit. Check the drawstrings after swimming — water can loosen them.
- 3. Set the neckline and coverage: The subtle V-neckline offers good coverage without being high. If you want more sun protection, pull the straps closer to your neck. For a lower neckline, let the straps sit wider. The non-wired design keeps the shape natural and comfortable. Adjust the neckline before you add sunscreen to avoid slipping.
- 4. Check the band and straps for security: After adjusting, move around — bend, reach, and twist. The top should stay in place without the straps falling off your shoulders or the band shifting. If the straps slip, try the cross-back configuration. If the band still rides up, the size may be too large. A well-fitted tankini top should not require constant adjustment during normal activity.
