If you’re tired of your basic triangle bikini top, there’s no need to rush out and buy a new swimsuit! With so many ways to tie your top, you can try a new one every time you head out to the beach. Make sure you tie every knot super tightly to avoid a fashion disaster as you rock your new looks.

Tie-front

  1. Sometimes you don’t want to hide the bows behind your back. Slide the cups of your bikini out and away from each other on the bottom strap, but keep the top strap in place. Loop the bottom strap over your head so the cups face downwards, then tie the strings dangling at your sides behind you. Tie the front strings tightly in front of your chest, then pull the cups inward to give yourself enough coverage.[7]
    • This will give your bikini a cute “U” shape instead of a triangular one.
    • This can also help give you a bit of cleavage since it naturally pulls your chest inwards.

    Expert Answer
    If there's an area that you want to look slimmer, whether it's your top half or your bottom half, wear that in a darker color. If you want to have a curvier chest, then go for lighter colors on top. Remember that it's totally normal to have two different sizes on your top and on your bottom.
