Exquisite Bikinis for Women
When French fashion designer Louis Réard patented his invention, the bikini, in 1946, he sparked a true fashion revolution—even though the two-piece swimsuit didn't become widely accepted until the late 1950s. Today, the bikini has nearly replaced the swimsuit and is an essential part of stylish women's swimwear, whether at the beach or by the pool. Easily order your favorite bikini online at MADELEINE.
Bikinis in High-Quality Materials
MADELEINE offers stylish bikinis specially curated for discerning women, designed to flatter your figure and ensure total comfort. Bikini tops and bottoms are worn directly against the skin, which makes excellent fabric quality especially important.
Lightweight fabrics feel airy and comfortable in warm weather. Flexible and durable fabrics such as polyester, polyamide, and elastane dry quickly, offering significant advantages. High-quality workmanship is evident in strong yet flat seams that won’t press into the skin. Adjustable straps, soft cups, and attractive decorative elements further enhance wearing comfort.
Triangle, Bandeau, or Push-up Top—Cut Makes the Difference
The bikini symbolizes femininity and joy. It brings true confidence when the top perfectly suits your body shape. For a smaller bust, a triangle bikini with narrow straps tied around the neck is ideal. A lower bridge between cups visually enlarges the bust. Tops with a push-up effect and lightly padded bustier bikinis create a fuller neckline. Bustier bikinis, with their typical tank-top cut, offer a sporty look and provide reliable support even during active movement.
A bandeau bikini, often decorated with ruching or draping, visually enhances the bust and ensures a comfortable fit due to widely set neck-halter straps. To highlight your shoulders, simply wear the bandeau bikini strapless. Styles with integrated underwires offer excellent support, particularly for a fuller bust or if you want to accentuate your curves. Solid colors, especially darker shades like black, visually minimize a larger bust. Tops with eye-catching details such as fringes or ruffles cleverly divert attention from wider hips. If a bikini seems too revealing, but a swimsuit feels too covered, a tankini consisting of bikini bottoms and a belly-covering top is a great alternative.
Women's Bikinis in the Perfect Size
Besides cut and shape, finding the right size is crucial for swimwear to fit perfectly. An attractive two-piece bikini fits ideally when it neither pinches nor restricts movement, yet remains secure enough not to shift during waves or beach walks. Once you've found the ideal size for bikini bottoms, MADELEINE offers bikini tops ranging from size 34A up to 48D.
A top - wired or not - is a perfect fit if it lifts the bust exactly midway between your shoulders and elbows. The back strap should support your bust without digging in, and the central panel should rest flat against the skin without pulling away. Cups should be fully filled but should not pinch. At MADELEINE, you’ll find carefully selected bikini styles available in various sizes for both tops and bottoms, catering to different body shapes.
The Bikini Bottoms for Your Body Shape
The perfect bikini subtly hugs your body, highlights your assets, and cleverly conceals minor problem areas. When purchasing a new bikini, consider not just the top but also the bottoms. A low-cut hipster bikini bottom highlights a flat stomach elegantly. Attractive gathers or a high waistband flatter feminine curves and visually slim the waist and hips.
Wider hips can be skillfully balanced with the right bikini bottoms. High-leg bikini briefs with narrow side bands visually elongate the legs, creating a slimmer silhouette. Choose discreet colors like black or grey for the bottoms to draw attention upwards. Women aiming to camouflage curvier hips should avoid bikini bottoms with side ties, as these can make the hips appear wider.
Designs You'll Fall in Love With!
When women choose a bikini over a swimsuit, they often have specific color preferences in mind. Solid-color designs impress with their understated elegance. Darker colors like black visually reduce bust size, whereas bright-colored tops draw attention upward. Delicate floral prints, leopard patterns, or classic paisley designs appear sophisticated and highlight feminine curves.
When choosing colors, don’t rely solely on your personal favorites; consider your skin tone to decide between cool or warm hues. Women with fair skin should avoid stark black and white bikinis, opting instead for softer colors like pale yellow, red, light green, or turquoise. Darker skin tones can confidently wear a broader color palette, including pastel shades, blues, silvers, and golds. Complete your summer look with a colorful scarf, shimmering necklace, matching earrings, a flowing skirt, or well-fitted jeans. A colorful bikini top can become an exciting eye-catcher when subtly revealed under a summery blouse.
