A bandeau bikini is a two-piece swimsuit characterized by a strapless top that wraps around the bust. This design provides a smooth, seamless look and is often favored for sunbathing, as it minimizes tan lines. The bottom piece can vary in style, including options like bikini briefs or high-waisted bottoms. Bandeau bikinis come in various colors, patterns, and materials, making them a popular choice for beachwear. Some styles feature additional elements like removable straps or ruching for added support and style. They are suitable for various body types and can be paired with cover-ups for a complete beach look.
