Product Insights
This Simons ruffle-textured striped bandeau top, at $39, offers a stylish look but is best suited for lounging and light swimming due to limited bust support and a tendency to shift during vigorous activity. Care requires hand washing and rinsing after swim. It pairs with a matching Simons-exclusive string cheeky bottom ($29) in the same 80% reprocessed polyamide, 20% spandex fabric, though the bottom extends to size XL while the top caps at L. The set costs $68 full price or $49 with a top sale, combining a coverage-adjustable top with a minimal-coverage cheeky bottom.
