The traditional triangle string bikini top is a simple must have. In this season it is more difficult to justify splurging on new luxury swimwear, so why not spice it up a bit and find new ways to wear some of your favorite bikini styles?!
As it turns out, the classic triangle bikini top is the most versatile and on-trend piece you own right now. One bikini, three completely different looks, no extra shopping required. Just a little creativity with your tie straps and suddenly you've got a whole new vibe.
Let's check out 3 ways to tie your bikini top.
"One bikini, three different looks. The triangle top is the most underrated piece in your swim wardrobe."
Avid Swim01. Scoop Neck Halter
Cross It or Not
Scoop Neck Halter
Cross It or Not
Set bikini upside down, place the triangle cups where they'd typically sit then take the neck, cross it, or don't, and tie it behind your shoulders. Take the waist straps and tie it behind your back and voila, your triangle top is now anything but basic.
This is the easiest transformation and probably the most dramatic. By flipping the top upside down, you create a completely different neckline that looks like a whole new bikini. The crossover at the back gives you that editorial, runway-ready silhouette everyone is after this season. Try it with the Talon Bikini Set for maximum impact, that blue and tropical print hits different in a halter.
02. One Shoulder
Waist Tie or Bow
One Shoulder
Waist Tie or Bow
Slide the triangle cups apart and bring to the front where they'd typically sit then cross the waist strap and tie it behind your back. Take both neck straps to the same side and tie it the strap behind your back. Your bikini top upgraded just that easily.
The one shoulder is giving asymmetrical luxury, the kind of detail that makes people ask "where did you get that?" when the answer is literally the bikini you already own. The bow option adds a little extra softness to the look. This one works beautifully with bolder prints like the Saibh Bikini Set, where the animal print catches the light differently on the single shoulder drape.
03. Front Tie Around the Waist
The Sexy One
Front Tie
Around the Waist
Once again, slide the triangle cups apart and bring to the front where they'd typically sit, tie the top straps around your neck then cross the waist strap and tie it behind your back. This looks extra sexy and alleviates that neck pressure.
This is the one for when you want to turn heads. The front tie creates a wrap-style effect that's both elevated and effortless. And the practical bonus? It takes the weight off your neck, so you can wear it all day without that halter strain. The Alis Bikini Set was practically made for this look, that dark abstract floral print wrapped across the front is a statement.
