Mix  & Match Tops & Bottoms: Create Your Custom Bikini

We understand how frustrating it can be finding a bikini top and bottom that fits perfectly. That’s why we  sell the bikini tops and bottoms separately. Now you can create a custom bathing suit that feels as if it was designed especially for your body type. Because we sell our bikinis separately, you can mix and match patterns, colors, and styles. We have every style of  top from a ruffled tankini top to a string bikini style. Try a halter neck bikini top with a swim skirt for a flirty look or wear a racer-back bikini top with swim shorts for laps in the pool.

How to Find the Right Plus Size Bikinis for Your Body Type

To find the best bathing suits, you first must understand your body type. Everyone is built differently; and the key to finding the best plus-size swimwear is understanding your body type. We here at Dia & Co are size inclusive and have swimwear for every body type that run in size from 10-32, so you’ll find the one and two-piece swimsuits you love and feel good in. There are six body types: pear, apple, diamond, inverted triangle, hourglass, and rectangle. Pear-shaped bodies are curvy at the hips and thighs and are smaller on top. Try bikinis that have ruffles, halter necks and bright patterns. For the bottoms, if wearing a tankini top, pair it with a tankini top and swim skirt bottom as it creates a fit-n-flare style. Look for bikini bottoms that have high cut legs, as they elongate the frame. The Hourglass body shape  is curvy all over with a full bust, full hips, and defined waist. Hourglasses look amazing in retro-inspired bikinis, two piece bathing suits that have asymmetrical prints, color blocked bikinis, or try a high waist bikini bottom with a strapless top. Rectangular body shapes have hips, waist and shoulders that are similar in width. They can  wear any type of swimsuit out there. Apple body types have narrow shoulders, and a wide bust and torso, and they look great in tankinis that have an empire waist. Try bikini bottoms that have patterns and or side ties as they emphasize your hips in the nicest way. An inverted triangle body shape has strong shoulders and narrow hips, and, like the rectangle, they can wear any two piece swimsuit style.

Types of Plus Size Two Piece Swimwear

Here at Dia & Co we have a variety of plus size bikinis and tankinis . If you’re not sure what a tankini is and what we offer, we created a cheat sheet for you. 

• Plus Size Tankini
  Originally created for surfers to prevent “rookie rash” on their tums, the classic tankini is a tank style top that ends near the hips and is usually combined with a bikini bottom. Tankini tops range the classic style to tiered, strapless, blouson and even long sleeve versions. Tops can be paired with the classic bikini bottom or try it with  a swim short or swim skirt. 
  Plus Size Bikini 
• The first bikini was spotted around 286 AD but didn’t really become popular until it was reinvented in 1946. Technically, a bikini is like something out of your old geometry class as both the top and bottom are made with two triangles. These days you can find ruffled bikinis, strapless bikinis, bikini tops matched with boy shorts, halter neck bikini tops, and more.
• Vintage-Inspired Two Piece Swimwear
• Inspired by swimsuit styles of the 40s, 50s and 60s, these bikini bathing suits usually feature a sweetheart neckline, ruching along the sides and other retro details. Vintage inspired two-piece bathing suits are known for high waist bikini bottoms, and bikini bottoms that offer full coverage. Feel like channeling bathing beauty style a la the 60s beach party movie looks, then pair a cap sleeve bikini top with a high waist bikini bottom that offers full coverage. 
• Swim Shorts
• Designed like shorts, but made with swimwear material, plus size swim shorts were originally created for competitive swimmers, as the short protects legs against friction and rapid leg movement when racing. Our plus size swim shorts are created with a quick-dry fabric,  pockets and side slits. As an activewear item, they can also be worn at the gym, or when you’re strolling around town.
• Swim Skirts
• Swim skirts with either a  built-in panty or shorts are meant for swimming and lounging poolside. They offer full coverage whilst highlighting your curves. Think of them as a flirty alternative to a bikini bottom. Our swim skirts have a functional zippered pocket to stow your cabana key.

After you’ve picked up a bathing suit or two, take a look at our plus size cover up selection. We have coordinating sarongs, kimonos, and oversized tops that can be worn on and off the beach.
