Swim String Bikini in Espresso

About this find

This Swim String Bikini in Espresso has a minimal, barely-there cut with a cheeky coverage bum, so it sits low and keeps things light. A self-tie adjustment at the side lets you tighten or loosen the fit. It is double layered for extra opacity and made from a sculpting swim fabric with an ultra smoothing stretch that moves with you, blended from 64% nylon and 36% elastane.

The colour is Espresso, a rich, deep mahogany shade that looks like freshly ground coffee. The fabric has a chlorine and sea water finish added, which makes it a good pick for pool or beach days. Because the cut is on the small side, you may want to size up if you are near the top of a size range or prefer more coverage.

Try it on its own for a sunny afternoon by the water, or pair it with a loose linen shirt worn open for a relaxed look on the way to lunch. A sheer cover-up or a sundress works well when you head somewhere after a swim. To care for it, hand wash in cold water, dry flat, and avoid bleach so the colour stays rich.
