Tide Top

This bikini set balances a sharp, high-contrast noir check with the soft, girlish inflection of ruffled trim and center-front bows. The scoop-neck top and high-cut bottom are constructed from a standard stretch nylon-elastane blend that clings close to the frame, trading structural support for a lightweight, body-conscious fit. It leans into a modern interpretation of 90s boudoir-inspired swimwear, grounding the sweetness of the pattern in a clean, minimalist silhouette.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is composed of 82% nylon and 18% elastane, both of which are petroleum-based synthetic polymers. These materials offer low breathability and may trap heat against the skin, while also presenting concerns regarding microplastic shedding and the potential for chemical transfer through prolonged contact with sweat.
