My annual tankini / boardshorts thread

[OuterFromOutersville]

I know, I should be confident and let it all hang out. But I don't want to .

Has anyone seen any nice tankinis or boardshorts anywhere? I'm a size 12 on top and a size 14 on the bottom. I like these boardshorts so far.

I'd consider a bikini top, I suppose, as long as I had boardshorts or boy shirts on my bottom half.

*boy shorts

Those shorts look really nice, haven't seen any others I'm afraid but I'll watch with interest as I'm the same as you about baring flesh on the beach! I was considering a 50's style swimsuit but tankini/shorts combo is a good idea.

Hello, there are some in debenhams in the Mantaray range. They come with a range of tops - bikini or tankini and also some come with boy short bottoms which are lovely! If you scroll down the page you can see the matching items.

some here

these don't seem to have matching items

Hope these help!

Thanks piglet, there were some nearly there's, but not quite the right one .

M&S tank top?

And matching boy shorts?

I love the Fatface pair, but all the matching bikini tops are too flimsy.

Actually, a nicer pair of matching shorts

Primal, I didn't like the matching Fat Face tops particularly either. I'd quite like a pair of boardshorts with a few different colours in, that I can then 'match' a bikini or tankini top to.

I love your link Primal, lots of lovely boardshorts.

Oo just thought - how about surfdome.com?

they have lots of boardshorts here

Not sure about matching items but some of them will have them.

I use surfdome and they send stuff very quickly - also worth googling for discount codes as they often have them.
