Tankini-Revolution in Swimwear

Had you ever heard the word "tankini" 10 years ago? Even 5 years ago? Most dictionaries don`t recognise the word, yet in the last 2 months thousands of people have typed in "tankini" and it`s variations into search engines over the internet in search of this new and very popular item. It`s real and it`s in demand.

So what is a tankini?

A cross between a tank and a bikini; a 2 piece that looks like a one piece; a top with matching pants; a vertical twin set; a swimsuit that can double as a top to wear as an outerwear garment.

So what makes the tankini so popular?

Tankinis are versatile in their wearability and fit. Many women complain that swimsuits aren`t long enough in the torso. Now the long body no longer needs to be a problem. Wedgies are a thing of the past. Sore shoulders and necks are no more.

The price conscious get a "bonus" top with their purchase. Expectant mothers love the expanding nature of the tankini as their proportions change and as their bodies recover, so does the tankini. The 2 pieces of the tankini make it very comfortable and practical. No need to expose that not-so-taut tummy anymore.

With all these things going for it, the tankini is definitely here to stay. And just because it`s comfortable and practical doesn`t mean it has to be boring. On the contrary... There are halter, strapless and tank tankinis; tankinis that show the midriff and those that cover it up; skirted tankinis, gathered tankinis, and split tankinis. The varieties are endless. They are a designers dream and a woman`s answered prayer.
