A tie-front swimsuit earns its keep when the tie is doing something more than decoration, and this one ties into a small keyhole cutout at the centre of the bust with a drawstring and bead toggle you pull to your own tension. The torso is ruched from the underbust down to a full-coverage brief, with wide straps that sit flat on the shoulder. It's built for actually swimming in, not just standing at the water's edge.
The keyhole tie is the detail worth explaining properly. Rather than a fixed opening, the drawstring and bead toggle mean you can pull it as high or as open as you want before the bead locks it in place, so the same swimsuit works differently depending on how you set it. The ruching down the torso does real work here too, it draws the eye down the centre line rather than out to the sides, which is a more flattering line than a plain block of colour. Worth knowing before you order: the straps are a fixed length, so check the size chart carefully on shoulder measurement.
It's cut close through the torso with ruching that smooths the line, and the bottom is a full-coverage brief that sits higher over the hip than a cheeky cut would. 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 ruched panel its smooth, close finish. 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 a swimsuit that holds its shape after an actual swim, so you get more from it than the first ten minutes on a sunbed.
What size tie-front swimsuit should I order?
Compare your bust and torso measurements to our size chart closely, since the straps are a fixed length rather than adjustable.
What is it made from?
It's made from nylon. We don't have a percentage breakdown, so we won't guess one for you.
Can I adjust the front tie once it's in place?
Yes, the drawstring and bead toggle let you pull it to the opening you want before it locks in position.
