Tankinis and Boy Shorts

Tankinis and Boy Shorts: A Beautiful Combination

Tankini Swimsuit Tops

A tankini swim top paired with boy short bottoms creates a swimsuit that is subtle yet sassy. The value of the tankini top is that it covers your torso. This can be useful for keeping attention off a less than firm tummy, but the style provides a touch of modesty as well.

However, some women simply love the look of a tankini, and with a variety of cuts to choose from it's no wonder. The standard tankini top with its straight cut and shoulder straps has a sporty feel to it, while an apron tankini gives off a more feminine air. Halter styles have a retro look that is still fashionable today. Ruched sides can go a long way toward enhancing a stick-thin figure or camouflaging unwanted flab. No matter what your figure is, there's a tankini top to compliment it.

Boy Short Swimwear

When compared to a standard scoop bikini bottom, boy shorts look like a shrunken set of street shorts. They typically have a banded or belted top, and leg openings that lack gathered elastic. These shorts come in various lengths, from provocative ultra-short hot pants to cheek huggers to sport-length shorts that end neatly below your bottom line. No matter which length you choose, boy shorts are designed to look fetching and quite sexy.

Shopping

Although you'll sometimes find tankinis and boy shorts sold together as a set, more often than not, you'll find them sold as separates you can pair together as you please. Here is a sampling of what you'll find offered in stores and online. If you don't see a combination you really love, a quick Internet search should reveal more choices.

WalMart

WalMart carries tankinis and bikini short combos at a reasonable price. Styles vary by store, so you'll need to do some in-depth shopping to find your swimsuit of choice. The Sun and Sand Golden Flower set in magenta and gold is especially attractive, and it comes in a halter top style.

Macy's

Macy's is another place to shop for this particular tankini combo, whether you choose to go local or shop online. Case in point is the Nautica Rugby Stripe Tankini set. The belted boy shorts fully cover your bottom, and the top is a halter variation on the familiar rugby shirt. This swimsuit definitely has a sporty feel to it, but it's still very stylish.

Dillard's

Dillard's also offers boy short tankini sets, as well as the option to shop in person or online. Here you'll find the lesser seen bandeau tankini top paired with boy shorts from world-famous DKNY.

Swim Outlet

Swim Outlet is a another place to shop for tankinis and boy shorts separates. However, you may find it difficult to pair up a top and shorts at this site. Your best bet is to combine a solid and a print to form a matching swimsuit.
