Bandeau bikinis are some of the most timeless and flattering swimsuit tops ever, and we see them multiple times each year in the SI Swimsuit Issue. Christen Harper rocked a sparkly pink one this year in Dominica, while Lorena Durán opted for a white halter-neck piece with a flower embellishments during her photoshoot in Puerto Rico. Mady Dewey sported a strappy yellow top and Jasmine Sanders donned a classic scunchy knotted number.

The possibilities are simply endless with bandeau bikinis, and whether you’re looking to serve a bit of underboob, tease some cleavage or completely minimize strappy tan lines, bandeau bikinis are a great go-to.
