Design Details and Benefits
- Smocked body on the top - the gather does the fitting work instead of underwire
- Tiered ruffles on the shorts - they add volume at the hip so the cut doesn't read as underwear
- Halter on a bandeau - gives you a neck tie when a strapless top would need to cling on its own
The shorts are the distinctive bit. Most bikini sets stop at a brief, which is fine in the water and less useful the moment you want to sit on a sunbed without adjusting. These boxer shorts give you a short, ruffled hem that covers more of the hip while staying in the same print as the top. They're still short, so if you want a long swim skirt this isn't the one. It's listed with a backless cut and our photo is front facing, so we're going by what's listed there rather than something we've seen ourselves.
