Ocean Blues Strapless Twist Bikini Top

Straps or no straps? Both come in the box: a bandeau with a twist at the centre and moulded cups, and a pair of adjustable straps that go on when you want them. No wire. The fabric is a nylon blend with spandex, so the band stretches to hold, and it dries fast. Two-tone colourways, black with white or hot pink, and a red polka dot.

Chlorine and salt both stay in the fabric until they are rinsed out, so give it cold water the same day and dry it flat. Sizes run S to 2XL; a strapless top holds by the band, so between two letters take the smaller. Four colourways, each of them a two-tone or a dot, and each one over a plain bottom.

One of 16 on the bikini tops rail in the Ocean Blues swim drawer. It also answers to bikini tops, bandeau swimwear, twist front swimwear. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
