Beach to Bar: Essential Resort Bikini Tops

When it comes to resort wear style, versatility is key. Nothing embodies this philosophy more than the perfect bikini top. Whether you're lounging by the ocean or transitioning to a beachside bar, Sommer Swim's range of bikini tops effortlessly blend style and luxury. Our signature collection will have you looking and feeling incredible no matter where your day - or night - takes you.

Elevate your beach look

Take it from us; a well-selected bikini top can transform your entire resort ensemble. At Sommer Swim, we meticulously craft beautiful collections designed to accentuate the silhouette with striking, minimal pieces that embody exclusive, refined luxury. From the classic triangle to more daring styles, each and every bikini top that bears our brand is sure to make a bold, sophisticated statement. Paired with a sarong or skirt, a stunning bikini top is perfect for relaxing by the water. What sets a Sommer Swim bikini apart, though, is its ability to transition from beachwear to evening attire with ease. Simply add a few accessories, perhaps a light cover-up, and you're ready to hit the bar for your favourite cocktail.

Create your signature look

Resort wear comes with the flexibility to mix and match your bikini tops with different bikini bottoms, cover-ups, skirts, pants, and accessories to carve out a look that’s uniquely yours. Consider how effortlessly a classic black bikini top, made from luxurious materials, can elevate any look. Its versatility offers endless pairing possibilities, whether boldly accessorised with statement earrings and strappy sandals for an evening meal by the beach or styled with a tailored blazer and wide-legged trousers for a refined cocktail-friendly ensemble. For a sleek, monochromatic effect, consider matching it with high-waisted black bottoms and subtle gold accents. On the other hand, a stunning patterned bikini top offers a vibrant expression of your personality. It can be contrasted with solid-colour bottoms to let the print take centre stage. When paired with a sheer cover up, you'll be ready to explore a nearby coastal town. When the day is done, trade in the cover-up for a sleek mini skirt, cropped jacket and your favourite heels for a memorable night of dancing.

Must-have bikini tops

Halter bikini top

The adjustable straps of halter bikini tops allow for a customised fit. The design is sure to enhance your natural silhouette, and they're perfect for pairing with a flowing skirt or wide-legged resort pants for a comfortable yet elegant look. This style is a worthy addition to any resort wear wardrobe, and a versatile choice for an unforgettable beach-to-bar adventure.

Bandeau bikini top

If you prefer sleek, strapless bikini tops, bandeau may be the style for you. With smooth lines, it's ideal for layering under sheer tops or pairing with statement jewellery pieces. From a beachside brunch to a sunset cocktail, bandeau bikini tops are your go-to for effortless style that transitions with you from day to night.

Bralette bikini top

For a modern, fashion-forward aesthetic that also offers comfort, bralette bikini tops provide more coverage than traditional styles. This makes them perfect for those who prefer a little more support without sacrificing an ounce of style. Wearing one with high-waisted shorts or a sarong gives a laid-back yet sophisticated vibe, making it well at home in any resort wardrobe.

Balconette bikini top

With underwire support and an extra air of elegance, balconette bikini tops lift and enhance the bust. This creates a flattering silhouette that was made for lounging poolside and venturing out to an evening bar - and anything in between. Pairing perfectly with high-waisted pants or a tailored skirt, these tops offer a refined look that can only be described as sexy and sophisticated.

Triangle bikini top

Beloved for their flattering fit and simplicity, triangle bikini tops are a favourite around the world -and with good reason. Ideal for basking in the sun, this style provides minimal coverage with maximum impact. Whether you're headed to a bar or relaxing by the ocean with a good book, this top pairs effortlessly with a sleek wrap skirt or tailored shorts, creating a polished, laid-back look that transitions seamlessly from day to night.

Day to night styling

Bandeau bikini top with Palma Berry Crush Wrap Dress (Night)

For a striking evening look, pair the Cece Nero bandeau bikini top with the vibrant Palma Berry Crush wrap dress. The sleek black top provides an elegant contrast, allowing the ombre hues of the dress to shine. Complete the look with gold hoop earrings and strappy metallic heels for a polished, luxe aesthetic. Alternatively, the Cece Lusso top could add a certain warmth, making it perfect for those who want to stand out. A soft bronze glow and neutral tones will finish this look beautifully.

Triangle bikini top with Capri Berry Crush Pants (Day)

For a bold daytime resort look, pair the Stella Magenta or Stella Nero triangle bikini top with the vibrant Capri Berry Crush Pants. The bright magenta top introduces a burst of energy that complements the lively tones of the pants, while the black option brings about a more balanced, understated contrast. Both styles keep the primary focus on the pants without overpowering the look. Top off the ensemble with a pair of sandals and delicate gold jewellery to create a simple yet standout outfit made for lounging poolside or exploring the local sights.

Halter bikini top with Havana Berry Crush Shirt (Day)

The Ryan Petunia halter bikini top pairs beautifully with our Havana Berry Crush Shirt. The rich purple hues introduce a harmonious tone-on-tone effect that enhances the colours while keeping things cohesive. Consider styling this look with flat leather sandals and minimal gold jewellery.

Balconette bikini top with Pelicano Berry Crush Robe Dress (Night)

For a luxurious evening look, the Harper Olympus or Soriya Lusso balconette bikini top are our recommendations for pairing with the Pelicano Berry Crush Robe Dress. The deep navy from Harper offers an elegant contrast that only adds sophistication to the flowing ombre tones of the dress. For a more eye-catching look, the Soriya top brings a warm glowing touch that enhances the rich colours of the robe. Complete the look with a pair of gold strappy heels, delicate layered necklaces, and a small clutch for a glamorous resort evening under the stars.
