For the coverage of a one-piece with the ease of two, we keep returning to tankinis.

We believe your swimsuits should always work hard for you; with tankinis, that’s super easy. You can choose from a menu of smart design details based on your needs. Here’s what to consider:

• • Underwire: for maximum support and comfort, many tankinis contain underwire bras; look to see if cups are removable or built in
  • Adjustable/convertible straps: for a customized lift and more ways to wear the suit, check for these characteristics
  • Bandinis: for when you want to avoid tan lines without sacrificing support, be on the lookout for this bandeau style
  • High-cut neckline: for a little added coverage, this cut protects your skin from the sun
  • Adjustable sides: for the look you want, these ties let you lengthen or shorten the top—they’re especially great for a long torso
  • Sizing: for the best fit for your figure, shop tankinis based on bra or dress size

And when it comes to bottoms, you can play it almost as many different ways:

• • Matching printed bottoms: for the seamless vibe you would get from a one-piece, get matchy-matchy
  • Shapwear bottoms: for a little extra concealment, pair a tankini top with something waist-smoothing
  • Skirted bottoms: for covering hips and thighs, you can put the top with a skirted bottom—voilà, swimdress!
  • Basic black bottoms: for literally anything and everything you could think of, just add a black brief

Now that you know your options, here are some of Bare Necessities buyer Megan Puma’s top tankinis of the season.
