MAKEMECHIC Gingham Tankini

Gingham ruffle and spaghetti strap set this tankini apart from the usual swim top. The high-waisted cut replaces the brief you kept reaching for and keeps more of the midriff covered while you are moving between water and shade. The plaid pattern reads lively on the beach. The piece is unlined and open by design as a swimwear top.

Wear it with denim shorts for a long lunch, a linen skirt for a ferry ride or the knit cover-up you bring when the breeze picks up. Swap the top for a simple tee when you want the high waist to sit under trousers. Colourway choices make it straightforward to pair with neutral sandals or a bright tote.

One of 297 on the swim and cover-ups rail in MAKEMECHIC pieces. It also answers to tankinis and one-pieces. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
