Getting full coverage for your midsection on the beach doesn't have to mean slipping into a one piece swimsuit. Blouson tankinis provide plenty of coverage with a flattering fit and the fun of a two piece swimsuit style. This swim season, blouson tankinis are one of the most popular two piece swimwear trends, so you'll find plenty of options from which to choose.

 

All About Blouson Tankinis

 

Blouson tankinis are two piece swimsuits that include a long-line top that falls all the way to the waistline to completely cover the stomach. What makes blouson tankinis different from other tankini styles is the design of their tops. The bottom of the top of blouson tankinis features a band of fabric that cinches the suit inward. The cut of the blouson tankini top is such that it looks like a blouse loosely tucked into pants. The loose fit of the blouson tankini top conceals belly fat while still creating a flattering effect that is polished rather than sloppy. Often times, the blouson tankini top ties at one side, allowing you to adjust the tightness of the bottom band.

 

Types of Blouson Tankinis

 

Blouson tankinis come in four different types:

 

- Separates - Some manufacturers sell blouson tankini separates, allowing you to mix and match tops and bottoms of different patterns, colors and sizes.

 

- Briefs - Some blouson tankinis come with brief bottoms, which are cut to reveal the entire length of the leg. This style is flattering for women who have shapely thighs but need the tummy coverage of a blouson top.

 

- Shorts - You can find blouson tankinis with cute boy short bottoms. These blouson tankinis often look like tank top and short outfits and are as perfect for sunbathing as they are for swimming.

 

- Skirts - A skirt provides coverage for the tops of the thighs and adds plenty of femininity to blouson tankinis.
