Side Tie Bikinis

The traditional string bikini is often referred to as a ‘side-tie bikini’ – but there’s an important distinction many ladies miss. A string bikini is altogether more revealing, whereas the simple addition of a side tie can make any of the other bikini bottoms a little more interesting without compromising your modesty. Side tie bikinis come in a variety of styles – and often the ‘side tie’ is used more as a design feature than a functional tie.

Affordable designers like Betsey Johnson and 6ixty 8ight have a number of side tie bikinis on offer this season alongside the more expensive side-tie bikinis from designers such as Juicy Couture, Milly and Shoshanna. A number of designers use the side tie as an interesting feature on their bikinis – La Blanca, for example, offer the Get Graphic sash hipster which ties on just one side. Other designers opt to create bikini bottoms with a side tie effect, though they don’t really need to be tied. Ted Baker, for example, offers the Pearls Mock Tie Side bikini brief. Calvin Klein’s Perfectly Fit fold over bikini bottom has a ruched sides and a functional draw tie for adjusting the fit.

Ordering a side tie bikini from an online shop is easy. There are scores of online swimwear retailers out there, with hundreds of suits to choose from. Important things to consider when buying your side tie bikini online are whether the shop has a flexible return policy – a flexible return policy should allow you to send the suit back without penalty if it doesn’t meet your expectations.

Also, when buying your side tie bikini online, you should beware of high postage charges – some of the online lingerie and swimwear boutiques charge a low flat rate for shipping but others charge a sliding fee based on the number of items ordered or the value of your purchase.
