Help me find a Tankini please

All the ones I’ve seen have high leg briefs but I’m after shorts. ideally the top half isn’t too low cut either. Would prefer in dark colours, I’m a 16 and quite self conscious as I’ve put on lots of weight the last few years.
would like to spend less than £40.
I did order from SHEIN but the quality is awful!
Thank you for your help!

I've got one with shorts from Seafancy.

GCAcademic · 15/04/2025 20:20

Next have some nice ones, but sold as mix and match separates. Search for bikini shorts and separately for tankini tops,

DisplayPurposesOnly · 15/04/2025 20:39

Regatta do shorts & tankini tops, eg:

I have a Regatta one. Not shorts, but quite decent bum coverage, and a good colours.

I just got a speedo tankini with shorts on Next.

saxonyv · 15/04/2025 21:21

Thank you, some lovely options here and never thought to search for bottoms and tops separately!

Decathlon often have good mix and match tankinis that might suit, especially if you're happy to have plain bottoms with a co-ordinating coloured or patterned top.

UpMyself · 15/04/2025 21:39

@saxonyv ,I have a black bikini that is one part from one shop and the other from somewhere else.

Bonbon21 · 15/04/2025 23:09

Halocline.. do different leg length shorts.. also longer body length tankini tops so there is no 'gap'!

InfoSecInTheCity · 15/04/2025 23:15

I always buy a tankini top and then some men’s swim shorts in a matching/coordinating colour from Primark. The shorts end up being about £5 and having handy zip up pockets, women’s tankini shorts are tiny, pocketless and about £15.

MissSookieStackhouse · 15/04/2025 23:34

I got a nice one from Joe Browns.

It’s a scam website, worth checking the reviews before ordering anything!

WearyAuldWumman · 16/04/2025 00:58

I order from Lands' End. The do a long length top, so that works well for me. They have various bottoms, including board shorts.

Bjorkdidit · 16/04/2025 07:03

I've had success with Amazon. Big advantage is that you can order a few and return for free.

CornishGirl56 · 16/04/2025 09:45

Have a look at Modlily

Ginburee · 16/04/2025 12:38

Yours plus size clothing have some, I had one last year and loved it.
They have plenty on the website with shorts.

Shufflebumnessie · 16/04/2025 14:48

If you type "aceana" into the M&S website, it'll bring up several different shorts style bottoms & the matching tankini tops.

White Stuff also have a selection

Fatface & Next too.

Try typing in women's swim shorts or bikini shorts and that should bring lots up (although you'll probably be inundated with Shein suggestions at the top of the page!)
Hope you find the perfect one 🤞

I'm the same as a PP - I buy a pair of men's swim shorts in black from Matalan or Primark and then have different patterned takini or bikini tops.. I'm a 38dd so do need some support, but find swim shorts more comfy than bikini bottoms
