Women's UV-protective bikinis: create an elegant, protective two-piece set
A women's UV-protective bikini gives you the freedom to choose a top and bottoms to suit your figure, style and preferred level of support. At Canopea, feminine cuts come with UPF 50+ sun protection on all covered areas. Solid or printed, coordinated or mixed and matched, a two-piece swimsuit is a summer essential.
Choosing the right bikini top
Each top creates a different look to flatter your figure. A triangle bikini top offers a light, natural neckline, ideal for small and medium busts. A bandeau top leaves the shoulders and neckline clear, avoiding strap tan lines. A structured top with wider adjustable straps provides extra support and comfort for fuller busts. Choose a design that stays securely and comfortably in place when you swim or move around on the beach.
Pairing your top with the right bikini bottoms
Bikini bottoms let you balance proportions while expressing your personal style. High-waisted bikini bottoms gently define the waist, shape the lower torso and offer elegant, retro-inspired coverage. A classic cut prioritises simplicity, lightness and everyday comfort. A higher-cut leg visually lengthens the legs and flatters the silhouette. Try mixing colours or pairing a solid top with printed bikini bottoms to create your own set.
UPF 50+ sun protection and a responsible approach
Our UPF 50+ certified bikinis block more than 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays without chemical UV filters. For extra coverage during longer periods outdoors, you can also pair your bottoms with a women's UV-protective swim top. Made from ECONYL®, a 100% regenerated nylon fibre produced from recycled plastics, our designs combine resistance to chlorine and salt water with our commitment to the oceans. Always remember to apply sunscreen to exposed skin.
Choosing and caring for your Canopea bikini
Choose a size that gently follows your figure without marking or compressing the body. We recommend consulting our detailed size guide and checking your measurements before ordering. After every swim, rinse your bikini thoroughly in fresh water to remove salt, sand and chlorine. A gentle hand wash followed by drying flat in the shade helps preserve the suppleness of the recycled fabric and its vibrant colours over the summers to come.
Frequently asked questions
Can I mix and match a UV-protective bikini?
Yes. Canopea UV-protective bikinis are designed to be mixed and matched as you wish. Pair a solid top with printed bikini bottoms or combine prints to create a unique set. This freedom also lets you choose different sizes for the top and bottoms for a fit tailored to your figure.
How do I choose the right size for a two-piece bikini?
Both the top and bottoms should sit gently against your skin without squeezing or leaving marks. Take accurate measurements and check the Canopea size guide. If you are between sizes, choose the one that gives you the most comfort and freedom of movement.
