Kelsey Bikini Top
Beach Riot - $89
This bandeau top leans into the tactile quality of crochet, using a dense, ribbed stripe pattern that sits flush against the torso. The square-cut neckline and structured, lined interior provide the security of a traditional bikini top while maintaining the relaxed, artisanal look of a summer knit. It functions as a high-saturation pop of color for sun-drenched days, trading the typical slick finish of swim fabric for a soft, matte texture.
Safety Rating: Poor
Analysis: The shell is primarily composed of acetate, a chemically processed semi-synthetic fiber that often requires intensive solvent use during production. When blended with a nylon and spandex lining, the garment’s overall breathability is compromised, potentially trapping heat and moisture against the skin.
