What Is A Bandeau Swimsuit?

A bandeau swimsuit features a straight or softly curved neckline that sits across the bust without traditional shoulder straps. It’s also known as a strapless swimsuit. Our bandeau styles include optional, removable straps, hidden support features and moulded cups, giving you the flexibility to wear the swimsuit in different ways depending on your plans.

We think the appeal of a strapless swimsuit is easy to understand. It’s simply one of those swimwear styles that never seems to go out of fashion, and when you pop one on, you’ll feel effortlessly stylish and chic.

Why Choose A Bandeau Swimsuit?

Minimal Tan Lines

One of the biggest reasons women choose a bandeau swimsuit is to avoid shoulder strap tan lines. If you're spending a week in the sunshine and want an even tan, a strapless design allows your shoulders and upper chest to enjoy the sun without interruption.

Timeless Elegance

Fashion trends come and go, but bandeau swimwear remains a classic – it’s simple, elegant and chic. The neckline creates a refined look that feels sophisticated, whether you're relaxing on a Greek island, exploring a luxury resort or enjoying a spa break closer to home.

Surprisingly Flattering

You may feel that bandeau swimsuits only suit certain body shapes, but that's not actually the case. Try one of our bandeau swimsuits, and you’ll find that it not only feels fantastic on, but it also balances out your proportions, giving you a streamlined silhouette. The best bandeau swimsuits will draw attention to your shoulders and naturally enhance your curves, giving you a smooth, uncluttered look.

What Makes The Best Bandeau Swimsuit?

Not all bandeau swimsuits are created equal. The best styles tend to share several important features.

Supportive Construction

A well-designed bandeau swimsuit should feel secure without constantly slipping down. Look for styles which have sewn-in padded cups, side boning for structure and support. You also want your bandeau swimsuit to be made from high-quality material.

Premium Fabric

Let’s touch a little more on high-quality fabrics, as luxury swimwear should feel as good as it looks. Our soft-touch fabrics provide you with more comfort and a more flattering fit. You’ll also find our premium fabric has better shape retention and enhanced durability. So you’ll get more wear out of your luxury bandeau swimsuit.

Jo Severin swimsuits are crafted using premium fabrics selected for both comfort and performance, ensuring they feel luxurious against the skin and last for many holidays to come.

Flattering Design Details

You’ll find that the most flattering bandeau swimsuits often include thoughtful touches such as gentle ruching, draping and twist-front detailing. Look for bandeau swimsuit styles that offer light tummy support as well as full front and back lining. These features will all help create shape and enhance confidence.

Versatility

Our customers have told us that they appreciate a bandeau swimsuit that offers multiple styling options. Did you know that the detachable straps allow you to switch between strapless wear, halterneck support and traditional shoulder straps? The choice is yours.

How To Style A Bandeau Swimsuit

One of the biggest advantages of a bandeau swimsuit is its versatility. Here are some of our top styling tips to go with your bandeau swimsuit.

Pair With A Linen Shirt

An oversized linen shirt creates an effortlessly chic holiday outfit.

A bandeau swimsuit and linen shirt combo is perfect for lunch on the beach, resort walks and poolside drinks.

Add Wide-Leg Trousers

Wide-leg linen trousers instantly elevate your swimwear into a sophisticated holiday ensemble.

Layer With A Sarong

Pick a sarong that complements your bandeau swimsuit, and you’ll find that this is one of the easiest ways to transition from beach to bar.

Accessorise Thoughtfully

We suggest you complete your beach look with:

• Oversized sunglasses
• Gold jewellery
• Leather sandals
• A woven beach bag

The simplicity of a bandeau neckline works beautifully with statement accessories.
