Black Tankini Tops needed and boy shorts

12 replies

Changeschangechangeagain · 06/09/2017 11:38

I had three black tankinis; two of the tops have split at the seams and the other top fits weirdly around my neck and boobs. The bottoms are still is great condition - bikini bottoms and skirted briefs. The boy shorts need replacing as seam going. They are all mix and match and I really liked that. They've lasted ages but really need replacing.

I'm looking to replace the tops - one long vest top with support and thin adjustable straps, the other a long vest top with thicker straps. I have a long body and a belly so want something that doesn't ride up.

I'm struggling to find anything. Any ideas?

I got my top from Oakley around three years ago. Quality is excellent.

I've had a look at the Oakley website but can't find the swimming costumes. I like some of the tank tops though.

The mix and match sets were bought online from a camping/hiking shop but it was years ago. I can't read the labels as they've faded.

I'm swimming with children including teenagers so it needs to be pretty conservative. A few of the older boys can be a bit leery so I need to keep everything covered up and supported.

Bravissimo do one - they start at a D cup if that helps

Hi. Thanks Bookbook. That looks like it'll fine. I think I'm probably better looking for more fitted style.

Figleaves have lots of mix and match separates...

Have you looked at Landsend? They have lots of mix and match swimwear, the set I had from there a few years ago has lasted really well.

Figleaves do have some nice ones. I've seen a few t-shirt vest tops on the boden website but they don't look very supportive. I'm going to look on the sports wear websites though as I think I need someone functional and long lasting. I think the Chlorine damages some costumes really quickly.

Found 1 on Landend and it's in the sale! Thanks Itsamackerel

Is getting chlorine resistant that important?

My 3 sets were all chlorine resistant and lasted ages but they were more expensive too.

Great news! Smile

Now to wait for my parcels. I've got 4 and some shorts. Thanks everyone.
