If your dress size and cup size fall between two different sizes (e.g. dress size S & cup size L), we would recommend the size in between as your best fit (e.g. size M). Please consider both your standard size and cup size when considering your swimwear top size and if you are still unsure, please just ask us. We are more than happy to help.

      Brazilian Bikini Bottom Size Guide

       

      How Does It Fit?

       

      'Hello!!!' is what everyone says when they see this one! But actually this style is super comfortable. Why...you ask? Because you don't feel like you are wearing much and in the waves that is super hard to achieve! The design is made to curve over the top of your bum and will give you a great peach shape. Again this is a Dani favourite and it might be yours too if you give it a go! This is a bit of a smaller make, so definitely go one size up or you might find it a bit snug. It is designed to be worn around the waist or slightly above it, so don't be shy. Embrace the experience!

      Cheeky Bikini Bottom Size Guide

       

      How Does It Fit?

       

      So if you are behind in the news, what you might not realise is that every cheeky bottom (yes I mean every style of cheeky bottom!) in the Kulani Kinis collection is actually reversible! Cue the “OMG...I get two for one realisation”!!! So most of the time we reverse our prints to block colours, but for some of our bolder prints we like to give girls the option to reverse to the same print but she can then decide whether they like the inside pattern or the outside. And then you can wear it accordingly. Not much more to say about this style as I think the name gives away most of what we were trying to achieve.....cheeky. We really should have tried to be more creative with the name but we stuck with the KISS principle on this one. Now how do you wear bottoms...you might think that one is simple too. Some girls like to pull them up over the waist, others like high rise back and low rise front, your choice! Just do as you want on this one!

          Crop Bikini Top Size Guide

           

          How Does It Fit?

           

          If you are ever going to catch Dani (one of the founders) in a style, it will probably be this one. It is her favourite and she made sure it was part of the swimwear collection that Kulani Kinis offered. This is your best style for offering support and security if you are going to be doing something active at the beach or on your day out in the sunshine. There is a band of thick elastic around the base of the top that is designed to sit on your under bust, NOT....I Repeat NOT, meant to be worn so low that it is on your ribs underneath your bust. Otherwise you might find that the top won't cover as much as you would like if you wear it down there. But when worn correctly the thick strap of elastic should give 'the girls' a bit of a push up if you like that kinda thing...but it won't be so tight that it cuts off the circulation to the rest of your body either. (That's called being swim smart). This top is not adjustable and is unpadded so if that is in your criteria then you might need to check out some of our other great options.

                How Does It Fit?

                 

                What made us famous in the beginning is that we actually gave girls a choice to buy all of our prints in a fuller cut that covers more of your bum. Hence the name 'Full'...as you can see KISS principle strongly in action again in the naming process. You will find this style very similar to a cheeky cut but just gives girls who want some modesty an option to do so. Please note it doesn't provide complete coverage, we provide shape with a slight cut in but keep you covered :)

                      How Does It Fit?

                       

                      The whole purpose of this design was to give girls something sexy and chic that you can wear in the water and then when you dry off, you can put on a pair of denim shorts and some shoes...and now you are ready for a day out doing whatever you need to do. Functional and fashionable! The one piece has a nice mid back rise with a cheeky cut around your hips so you can still show off what you need to (wink). Additionally and maybe best of all...this isn't a one piece designed for Instagram photoshoots of side boobs...so you won't need to worry about falling out of the top of this one. Finding your best fit in the one piece is fairly simple, we recommend that you pick a size that works well with your jean size. By that we mean if you fit into our S bottoms and our M top, you will probably fit into S size one piece. The length of the one piece allows for stretch which helps it fit onto bigger busted girls. The other thing you always need to think about is your height when looking at the one piece, otherwise you may get a lot of material riding up where you don't want it. So if you particularly long in the torso, please have a think about that first too!!

                      How Does It Fit?

                       

                      Who needs shoulder straps when you can wear a top that clings to your boobs! Some girls love strapless bikinis and others can't stand them. To be honest, we made this for the girls that love them so if you hate them....just skip to the next style. This one ain't for you! Now, what is great about this top is that is comes with padding. And the padding isn't like a wearing a dried out sponge that's gone hard because you left on the counter top for too long...this is more like a soft pillowy padding that actually feels amazing to wear and will mould to the shape of your bust. We give ourselves a bit of credit where credit is due...'thank you Kulani Kinis' :)

                        So How Does It Fit?

                         

                        This bikini top is our most popular style with our girls because it offers good support, fit and adjustability. The support in the top is given by the thick elastic band which sits under your bust and wraps around your body to give you this amazing feeling like you are being hugged by your best friend. The shoulder straps loop through the thick elastic, and can be adjusted by simply pulling them tighter or looser. The coverage is great on the triangle itself but we always get asked by girls…’what if it is cold…will people be able to tell’. Their main concern is the lack of padding on the top. Ok….so clearly we understand that some girls like to be more discrete than others. So to help them with that, any triangle style that is a lighter colour is triple layered. This amount of fabric should provide all that is required to give you adequate coverage and discretion. But if you are still worried about it, we do have plenty of padded top options for you girls which you can read about below.

                                • Please be assured it is normal for seamless swimwear to fold over slightly showing the reverse side. All colour tones of our swimwear are designed with this in mind.
                                • Our fabric is a blend referred to as Italian Lycra. Please note the feel is intended to be soft & delicate. Our swimwear remains durable so long as it is cared for appropriately. We provide care instructions on purchase.
                                • Please note pastel colours may become opaque when wet. Neon colours may run for initial washes. Please see our Frequently Asked Questions for more details & care instructions.
                                • We always recommend that if you fall between two sizes you should definitely order the bigger size of the two.
