Women’s tankini with shorts

Why you should wear tankinis with shorts

The tankini top and shorts combinations solve multiple swimwear challenges at once. A two-piece format lets you mix sizes for a perfect fit, while ample coverage keeps you comfortable and confident during beach activities.

Bathroom breaks are quicker and easier than with one-piece swimsuits since you just need to pull down the shorts. Swim shorts provide extra thigh coverage, eliminating the need to adjust or tug at your suit while walking or playing. Additional coverage also prevents chafing during extended wear.

With UPF 50+ fabric protection built into both pieces, you get comprehensive sun defense for your upper body and legs—areas prone to sunburn. This reduces your reliance on constant sunscreen reapplication.

Our sporty tankini tops stay in place during active water sports and beach games. You can dive, swim, and play without worrying about exposure or constant adjustments.

Swim shorts also boost confidence by covering areas prone to cellulite or spider veins. The style transitions seamlessly between comfortable beach days spent in relaxation, water sports, pool parties, resort wear, and water parks.

Our swim shorts include quick-drying fabrics and pockets for practicality and convenience. Our fabrics also maintain their shape wash after wash.

For moms and caregivers, these fuller coverage options help when chasing kids, bending down, or getting in and out of the water. The tankini-shorts combo gives you freedom of movement without sacrificing modesty.
