Ocean Blues String-Tie Triangle Bikini Top

Two hours in the water and the strings are still where you tied them: at the neck and at the back, each with enough stretch in the tie to hold without cutting in. The cups are two triangles that slide along the string, so you set how far apart they sit. Removable pads, no wire. It is the simplest top we make, and the one that goes with every bottom we make.

Measure the underbust and the fullest point of the bust before choosing; the triangles adjust, but the ties stretch without getting longer, so pick the letter that matches the fuller of the two. Sizes run S to 2XL. Twelve colourways, from plain black to leopard and a leaf print; the prints go over a plain black bottom, the plain ones over anything.

One of 16 on the bikini tops rail in the Ocean Blues swim drawer. It also answers to bikini tops, halter bikini tops, wire-free 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.
