You want a two-piece that feels gathered rather than sporty, and this pleated bikini set is that. The top has triangle cups with a ruched, pleated texture and a knot that ties at the centre. The briefs are side-tie, high on the leg, with a V-shaped front. It's a sand-and-sea set for slow days, when you want the fabric to look touched and gathered instead of flat.
The pleating on the cups is what you'd miss on a flat triangle. A smooth cup relies on cut and shade. Gathering the fabric adds texture so the top still has interest in a solid colour. The briefs stay simple, which is right - if both pieces were heavily ruched it would feel busy. Coverage is low at the hip, so if you want a boy-short this isn't the one.
The top sits close at the bust with a deep neckline between the cups. The briefs sit high on the hip with a narrow front. Coverage is skimpy at the sides. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.
It's made from nylon, which is what gives the cups their smooth, gathered swim finish. You'll want a gentle wash so the pleats stay in place. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer. Check the care label on your own garment as well.
It's the set you pack for a week of doing very little, when you still want the bikini to look like you chose it on purpose.
What size pleated bikini set should I order if I'm between sizes?
Take the larger of the two. The cups sit close and the briefs are a string-side cut, so the bigger size will sit better than the smaller one pulling.
What is it made from?
It's made from nylon. We're not given a percentage breakdown, so we won't guess one for you.
Does the front tie set the fit?
The knot sits at the centre of the top as the finish. Use the straps for fit, and compare your measurements to the chart.
