I feel like the Tankini has a dowdy rep it doesn’t deserve. It is the most practical of bathing suits but it doesn’t have to be the frumpiest. And for those of you who don’t have a bikini ready tummy post-baby, it is infinitely more flattering than a one piece. It also makes feeding a baby and going to the bathroom waaaay easier! The J. Crew Twist-Front Swing Tankini Top was my go to bathing suit when I had tiny babies I wanted to be able to feed by the pool. We’ve gathered some flattering and “cool” options for your shopping pleasure. Enjoy!
