is there such a thing as a non-frumpy tankini?

Why? Nothing gets on it.

Gross

What is gross about taking a pee?

I have a la Bianca one I got from nordstrom’s that is a halter style plunge neck that I like. The athlete ones are cute/sporty.

The lands ends ones I don’t really like anymore. They are t fitted right through the stomach.

There are a lot of posters on this forum that think that anyone above a size 4 is definitionally frumpy. And also a lot who think that anything not sexy is frumpy. That comes up a lot of the shoe and shorts threads.

Where? I have trouble with one piece suits as well.

Suits do say they are long torso, but in my experience I often need another inch of fabric so the one piece fits appropriately.

Long torso here....um, there are not a lot of options for tall/long torso.

Look at Venus - they have some tankinis that are not frumpy. Personally I like the ones that are tight and look like a one-piece.

I'd try to find something "sporty" from a brand like Athleta or one of the sportswear or surf brands.

I think tankinis look old-ladyish when they try to make them "glam" instead of sporty by adding prints, gold hardware, etc.

+1 to tankinis aren’t frumpy

I just ordered the underwire v-neck from Lands End...

I have the dreaded Land's End tankinis and...I LOVE THEM.
I think it really depends on the cut of the suit. I have one top that is more of a sweetheart cut that is very flattering to the bust, and one that is more of a wrap. For bottoms I have shorts and regular bottoms. The shorts are great for things like going on a hike or walk at the beach or place you might get wet, or water sports/water parks.
