Choosing a bikini is not just a matter of size or color. Each type of bikini responds to a different way of experiencing summer, feeling comfortable in your body, and expressing your style. In this article, we explain the most popular types of bikinis, their main features, and how you can wear them elegantly.

If you’re looking for a high-quality, timeless, and flattering bikini, today we’ll help you identify the one that best suits your preferences—beyond your body shape.

The bandeau or strapless bikini is one of the most popular styles for those looking to tan without tan lines. With a straight cut and no straps, it stands out for its simplicity and elegance.

Ideal for: sunbathing and relaxed plans at the pool or beach.

At Roidal, we offer structured bandeaus that provide support and comfort without compromising on design. Pair them with mid- or high-rise bottoms for a balanced look.

This type of bikini is characterized by a top with straps that tie or cross behind the neck. They offer great support and naturally enhance the neckline. They’ve become a favorite for those looking for a different style without giving up elegance.

Ideal for: those looking for an elegant style with extra bust support.

The classic underwire bikini is perfect for those who want more structure, especially in medium or larger sizes. It provides shape and support and works very well for long beach days or active plans.

Ideal for: those seeking comfort and firmness without sacrificing style.

At Roidal, we craft underwire bikinis that combine designer style, technical fabrics, and a wide variety of sizes. Pieces made to last more than one season.

The push-up is the bikini that offers the most enhancement. With padding or pre-formed cups, it shapes the bust and creates a visual effect of more volume.

Ideal for: special occasions, days at beach clubs, or seaside events.

The triangle design is one of the most timeless and youthful. It usually ties at the neck and back, making it a very adaptable style.

Ideal for: a fresh, versatile, and dynamic look.

At Roidal, we reinterpret the triangle bikini with premium fabrics, reinforced straps, and adjustable bottoms for greater comfort.

Bikinis with a single strap or asymmetrical neckline have become a rising trend thanks to their modern aesthetic and ability to highlight shoulders and collarbones.

Ideal for: showcasing the design without compromising on comfort.

This style features bottoms that go up to the navel or even higher, in a retro style. It flatters the midsection and creates a very feminine silhouette.

Ideal for: those who want extra coverage with style.

Some of Roidal’s bottoms are designed as high-waisted briefs, perfect for shaping, slimming, and staying in place all day. They pair perfectly with structured tops or bandeaus.

Each bikini type responds to a different need: support, style, tanning, coverage, or versatility. The most important thing is to choose one that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and authentic.

At Roidal, you’ll find original women’s bikinis, made in Spain, with artisanal control of each piece, top-quality fabrics, and designs that enhance the figure without sacrificing elegance.
