Which Bikini Top Fits Your Shape?
The right bikini top does more than match your bottoms—it should feel secure and look effortless. Whether you want more support, a retro vibe, or a strapless option, the choice comes down to your bust size and preferred coverage. Below we compare two distinct styles from Missya to help you decide.
Both tops are available in multiple sizes, but their construction and intended fit differ significantly. Let's break down what each offers.
Two Bikini Tops, Two Fit Philosophies
- Tulum top - Medium blue: Tulum top er en cool bikini top i et simpelt design med et twist. Bikinitoppen er lavet i et elastisk crepe stof, som sidder super behageligt på kroppen og giver et fedt retro look, mens den blå farve giver toppen en fed dybde. The stretch crepe fabric and simple design make this a good choice for smaller to medium busts that want a comfortable, vintage-inspired look without heavy underwire or padding.
Tulum top - Medium blue - Saint Maxime bandeau solid - Navy: Flot bandeau bikinitop, med guldspænde i midten samt fine flæsekanter og draperinger. Lukkes på ryggen med kliklukning og bindes også i nakken. Bikinitoppen har bøjle hvilket giver et godt hold til den lidt større barm. The built-in underwire and adjustable back closure provide structured support for fuller busts, while the bandeau shape offers a strapless look that can also be tied at the neck for extra security.

Tulum Top: Best for a Retro, Minimalist Look
The Tulum top in Medium blue is made from an elastic crepe fabric that feels soft against the skin and creates a relaxed retro silhouette. Its simple construction with a twist detail means it works best for A-C cup sizes where support from structure is less critical. The fabric's stretch allows it to adapt to your shape, but there is no underwire or built-in padding.
If you prefer a triangle-style top that doesn't dig in or add bulk, this is a strong candidate. It pairs well with high-waisted bottoms for a classic summer outfit.
Saint Maxime Bandeau: Support for Fuller Busts
The Saint Maxime bandeau top in Navy is designed with underwire, which provides noticeable lift and hold for a larger bust (typically C cup and above). The gold center buckle and ruffled edges add a dressy touch, but the real advantage is the back closure with a clip and the option to tie at the neck. This gives you two ways to adjust fit: a secure bandeau style or a halter-like tie for extra support.
Because it has underwire, you can expect a more structured fit than a soft triangle or bandeau without bones. This makes it a reliable choice for active beach days or all-day wear when you want your top to stay put.
Key Trade-offs Between the Two
The Tulum top offers a lighter, more flexible feel with a retro aesthetic, but it lacks the support features that a fuller bust may need. The Saint Maxime bandeau provides underwire support and adjustable straps, but its structured design may feel heavier and less minimal.
Both tops are available in limited sizes based on the supplied information: the Tulum top has been seen in XS, while the Saint Maxime bandeau has been seen in sizes 36 and 38. Before ordering, check the current size availability to ensure your size is in stock.
What the Supplied Records Do Not Cover
The provided information does not include specific care instructions, fabric composition percentages, or exact cup size equivalents for the sizing. For the most accurate fit, refer to Missya's size chart and consider your usual European clothing size. If you are between sizes, the stretch of the Tulum top may offer more forgiveness, while the underwire of the Saint Maxime bandeau may require a more precise fit.
