Whether it’s for style or practical reasons, string bikinis can serve a great purpose. Earning their name from their unique tie design, this bikini style is popular for a reason.

So, when the heat is unbearable and you want to feel like you’re wearing nothing at all, we’ve gathered some of the best string bikinis to add to your summer swimwear collection.

How do you secure a string bikini?
With string bikinis, it’s important to tie them securely to avoid any mishaps in or out of the water. Tying the strings in a double knot usually does the trick, but there are some other ways to find security.
You want to ensure you adjust the fit to your body and choose the right size for proper coverage and support. Opt for high-quality fabrics that offer stretch and support, and utilise any additional features like ties or clasps.
It’s also good to plan ahead and consider the activities you’ll be doing and adjust accordingly, while also being mindful of your movements to avoid shifting.
