How to Choose the Right Bikini Top for Your Body Type

How to Choose the Right Bikini Top for Your Body Type

Picking a bikini top isn't about trends, it's about finding the cut that makes you feel unstoppable the second you put it on. At Isla, every top in our lineup is designed with a different silhouette in mind, so here's how to figure out which one is yours.

If you want extra support and coverage: Look for structured triangle or halter styles with adjustable ties. The Siren Bikini Top's sequin detailing and secure tie construction make it a go-to for anyone who wants a top that stays put through a beach day or a pool party, while still catching the light.

If you want a soft, romantic look: Crochet and fringe pieces like Le Bella Top drape more than they cling, which makes them a favorite for anyone who wants coverage that still feels breezy and undone-on-purpose.

If you're building a matching set: Pair any top with its coordinating bottom or skirt, The Isla Top with The Isla Mini Skirt, for example, for a look that reads intentional rather than thrown-together, especially for vacation photos.

If you want something low-maintenance for everyday wear: The Soleil Bikini Top is our simplest silhouette, no fuss, easy on-and-off, built for actually swimming, not just posing poolside.

A quick fitting tip: bikini tops should feel snug when dry, since fabric relaxes slightly once wet. If you're between sizes, size down on tops and true-to-size on bottoms.
