Ocean Blues V-Neck Push-Up Tankini Top

In hot pink and black the two-tone cut shows what the pattern is doing: a V-neck that meets at a twist, ruching down the body, and wide straps that cross at the back. The cups are moulded and wire-free, with the lift built into the shape rather than added with a pad. Fully lined, it stays opaque when wet, and the fabric dries fast enough to wear to lunch.

The run goes S to 3XL in one row. Between two letters, go up: the twist and the ruching forgive a size, and a wide strap sits better loose than tight. Eight colourways, including plain black and white for anyone who wants the cut without the print. The crossed straps are the part to look at if you swim: they hold the neckline still where a tie would work loose.

One of 10 on the tankini tops and sets rail in Ocean Blues pieces. It also answers to tankini tops, tummy control swimwear, 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.
