tankini

Modest beach attire

A tankini is a two-piece swimsuit combining a tank top with bikini bottoms.

It offers more coverage than a traditional bikini while maintaining the convenience of separates: She preferred a tankini for chasing her kids around the pool.

The style emerged in the late 1990s as a modest alternative to the bikini.
