Tankinis With Skirts

The Two-Piece Version

Swim skirts arrive in two quite different constructions and the labels do not always separate them. One is a single garment: the skirt is attached to a body that runs all the way to the shoulder. The other is a tankini with skirt, where the skirt sits on its own waistband and the top is a separate piece.

Everything that follows from that split is practical rather than cosmetic. Two garments come off independently, which matters in a changing cubicle and matters more at a public bathroom. Two garments take two sizes. And when the elastic in one gives out, you replace that one. A one piece with a skirt does none of those things, and does one thing they cannot: it removes the join entirely.

Which matters more depends on the day rather than on the body. A morning of lengths and a towel afterwards asks nothing of the join. An afternoon that runs from water to lunch to a car park asks a great deal of it, and that is the day the two-piece version earns its place.

Where the Skirt Meets the Top

The join is the part worth planning, and it is the one question a one piece never raises. A skirt waistband has some bulk to it — elastic, a facing, sometimes a lining seam — and a top that finishes exactly level with it leaves that bulk on show every time you move.

The reliable arrangement is a top that clears the waistband by an inch or two so the fabric falls over it. A blouson cut does this particularly well because it is already loose at the hem and lands softly rather than gripping. A fitted top works too, provided it is long enough; what does not work is a cropped top over a skirt, which puts a hard horizontal line at the narrowest part of the arrangement.

If you already own the skirt, measure from your natural waist to where its waistband sits and add that to the top length you would otherwise choose.

Skirt Over Shorts or a Brief

Under the panel there is either a brief or a short, and they suit different days. A lined brief is the standard and it is the better swimmer: less fabric to carry water, faster to dry, nothing to bunch under the skirt. A short underneath adds thigh coverage and stops the legs touching, which is the reason most people choose it.

Length is where the two differ practically. A brief sits well above the skirt hem at every length, so it never enters the picture. A short has to be checked against the panel, because the two hems are competing for the same few inches of thigh.

The combination to check before buying is skirt length against short length. A short that finishes below the skirt hem reads as two garments; one that finishes above it disappears. Both are fine, but only one of them is usually what the buyer expected. If thigh coverage is the whole point, tankinis with shorts get there more directly.

Sizing the Skirt Apart

Take the skirt by the hip and the top by the bust. That is the entire advantage of the shape and it is the reason the two halves are worth checking separately rather than trusting a single set size.

Skirt panels are cut with ease in them, so a skirt that measures generously is usually correct rather than large. The brief underneath is the piece that has to fit properly, and it is the one to size from. Tops in halter and high neck shapes both sit well over a skirt because the weight is carried above the waist, leaving the join undisturbed.

One measurement people forget is the skirt sweep, which is how wide the hem is. A narrow sweep reads neat and restricts the stride; a full one moves well and floats noticeably in water. For walking, take the fuller cut. For swimming in, take the narrower one and let the brief underneath do the work.

Prints behave differently on a panel than on a brief. A skirt gives a large motif somewhere to sit whole, where a brief would cut it in half; it is the one place in a two piece where a big print is easier to wear than a small one.
