Among the leading innovations bikini designers have come up with in recent years is the underwired bikini. Truth be told, under-wired bikinis are no new news – some of the best-selling bikinis from decades ago had underwired cups. Why? The answer is simple – a bikini top provides very little support, the addition of an underwire offers a little lift, a bit of support and even relief for those larger-busted women who wear bikinis during the summer months.
A number of leading designers provide under-wire versions of their top selling bikinis – the big names here are also leaders in the bra world, companies like Freya, Fantasie and Triumph, as well as the more fashionable Victoria’s Secret and Wonderbra labels are popular. However, many of the leading fashion designers have enlisted the help of designers specialising in foundation garments to craft underwire bikini tops that provide lift and support to the bust without sacrificing name brand style.
Underwire bikinis from some of the top fashion designers include: the black beaded underwire bikini from DKNY, the black and white piped under-wire bikini by Gottex, Cavalli Freedom’s stunning iridescent pink leopard trim underwire bikini and a number of options in the Diane von Furstenberg bikini collection. A few other designer labels with underwire bikinis on offer are Cyn & Luca, Michael Kors, Milly, La Blanca and Anika Brazil.
Buying your under-wire bikini online can save you time and money – focus your search on shops specialising in swimwear and bras to find the best designers and well-made underwire bikini tops in a flash. Buy your bikini from an online shop with a clear return policy so you can exchange the suit if the fit or style doesn’t match your expectations, and always beware of hidden fees or excessive postage charges – these can negate the savings of shopping online.
