See the swimsuitWhat to look for in a tummy control tankini top
Start with length and gathering. A top that falls past the waist and has side ruching or drawstring ties gives you the most coverage, and you can adjust the ties to suit your day. A twist or wrap front adds fullness across the middle without clinging. Solid black and other dark colors tend to look smooth and are easy to pair. Boy shorts add hip and thigh coverage and stay in place better than skimpier bottoms when you swim or chase kids.
