Swim tops for women by SwimZip

What types of women’s swimsuit tops does SwimZip offer?

Our selection of swim tops comes in a range of styles, from playful patterns and fun prints to solid colors so you can create the perfect beach look.

One shoulder tops

A one-shoulder swimsuit top adds a stylish asymmetrical twist to your beach look. The flattering ruched sides and adjustable back strap create a customized fit that moves with you. Each top includes a built-in bra with moderate support and removable cups so you can adjust the coverage.

A quick-drying nylon/spandex blend resists chlorine and offers 4-way stretch for unrestricted movement whether you're swimming, paddling, or playing beach volleyball.

Enjoy classic one-shoulder styles and cut-out variations that add extra visual interest. Pair your one-shoulder top with our high-waisted bikini bottoms for a coordinated swim look, or throw it on with shorts or leggings for a fashionable athleisure outfit.

Tankini tops

A tankini is a clever mix of a tank top and a bikini bottom that gives you the best of both swim worlds. Our sporty design features a high neckline and stylish back cutout, perfect for active beach days and water activities.

The flattering ruched front and adjustable S-hook closure create a secure, customized fit that stays in place while you move. A built-in support and removable cups let you choose your coverage. The quick-drying nylon/spandex blend offers 4-way stretch, giving you complete freedom of movement no matter the activity.

Take your tankini top from the beach to the street by pairing it with bikini bottoms for swimming or throwing on shorts for running errands. For more style ideas, check out our guide to types of tankini tops.

Wrap tops

A wrap-style swim top brings elegant coverage and flattering lines with its V-neck design and tie-back closure. Comfortable for swimming or lounging, this style lets you customize the fit to your comfort level.

The long sleeves provide extra coverage for extended beach days, while no-chafe seams keep you comfortable during all your water activities. Adjust the back tie to create your ideal fit—snug enough to stay secure while swimming but relaxed enough for casual beachside dining.

Try pairing your wrap top with our bathing suit bottoms for a sophisticated beach look, or layer it over your favorite swimsuit as a stylish cover-up.

Halter swim tops

The racerback halter design delivers reliable support and sun-smart coverage across your chest. With a fit similar to a sports bra, this athletic style keeps you comfortable whether you're chasing kids through the waves, grabbing seaside lunch, or relaxing with a book on the sand.

Our fully lined halter-style bikini tops include removable cups and an elastic bust band for customized support. When sizing, use your standard sports bra size as a guide.

Scoop bikini tops

The squared-off neckline of scoop bikini tops brings a minimalist, modern look to this classic swim style. Adjustable straps convert from straight to crossed, letting you switch up your look and customize support levels. The elastic band under the bust adds extra stability for swimming and beach activities.

Nursing moms will appreciate the practical design, while the removable cups and full lining give you control over coverage. The four-way stretch nylon/spandex dries rapidly between swims.

Style your scoop neck bikini with one of our swim bottoms for a timeless beach look, or layer with a crop rash guard for extra sun coverage.

Tie bikini tops

A playful keyhole and front tie add flair to the tie bikini top, while adjustable shoulder straps let you fine-tune your fit. The elastic waistband and removable cups provide customizable support, with flat seams that minimize rubbing during beach activities.

Match your tie bikini top with our side-tie bottoms or high-waisted bottoms for a coordinated swim look. Need help with the knot? Check out our guide on how to tie bikini tops.

Our swim tops (and all our sun-protective swimwear) come with UPF 50+ fabric that blocks 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, keeping you safe during long days in the sun.

How to choose the right bathing suit top

A great swim top give you the confidence and comfort you deserve. Here’s how to choose the right top for your body type and lifestyle:

Match your activities: Athletic swimming requires more support with racerback or high-neck styles, while casual beach days can be had with any design.
Think about coverage: High necklines and rash guards give more sun protection, while scoop necks and wraps let you adjust coverage as needed.
Check support features: Look for built-in bras, removable cups, and adjustable straps to customize your fit.
Know your body shape: Halter tops support larger busts, while ruffled bikini designs add shape to smaller busts. V-necks balance wide shoulders.
Get the right size: Measure your bust and check the size guide. Your top should fit snugly without squeezing.

What to wear with swimwear tops

Your swim top can be the foundation of multiple stylish beach outfits—and even work double duty for activities beyond swimming. Whether you're planning a full day of sand and surf or mixing water time with other activities, the right pairings help your swim top adapt to any situation.

High-waisted bottoms: Enjoy tummy-smoothing styles that bring extra coverage and support where you need it.
Swim shorts: Opt for extra leg coverage during active beach days and water sports.
Sun hats: Keep the sun off your face while at the beach or pool.
Board shorts: They’re easy to pull on for walks along the beach or grabbing a drink at the snack bar.
Swim dress: Try a quick cover-up option when walking to and from the beach or pool.

Women’s swimming tops FAQ

What are swim tops called?

Swim tops come in many names based on their style—bandeau bikini tops, halter tops, tankinis, and triangle bikini styles to name a few. Some feature adjustable neck ties for custom fit, while others such as racerbacks provide athletic support. Rash guards and crop tops round out the common swim top varieties.

Do you wear a bra under a rash guard?

You don't need a bra under a full-coverage rash guard. These tops are made from quick-drying materials that provide compression and support. Women often wear a swim top underneath for extra support during active water sports.

Why do people wear swim tops?

People choose swim tops for coverage, support, and sun protection during summer activities. Our swim tops are made from chlorine-resistant fabrics that last longer than regular clothes in water. You can mix and match swim tops with traditional bikini bottoms or any other swim bottoms to meet your personal style.

Do swim tops keep you warm?

Swim tops, such as rash guards, add a layer between your skin and the water, but they're made for sun protection rather than warmth. While high-quality materials provide some insulation, you'll need proper thermal swimwear or a wetsuit if you want to stay warm in cold water.
