One of my absolute favorite clothing lines is the fashionable and affordable DownEast Basics! So I was not surprised when I loved their new swim line! They have a whole line of stylish and fun suits to suit your style!
I was recently sent their new Mediterranean Tank and matching bikini in giraffe to review and it is so cute! I love the giraffe's olive color - I think the color is really flattering to a lot of different skin tones. The giraffe graphic is interesting and fun without being distracting and the size of the print relates really well to the suit. The suit is lined and made of a really soft nylon/spandex blend. The tankini top has a really pretty gathering detail around the bustline, and thin molded cups that give flatter the bustline and help the suit to sit in the right spot. The tankini has halter-type straps that are thin and comfortable around the back of the neck and The tankini top itself is long and hit me just above the hip. The bikini bottoms are pretty straight forward, they have nice coverage and they fit right in the right spots - no gaping or bulging - the seams sit flat.
I love this suit and can't wait to take it camping with me later this summer! I love the ease of this suit - you can just throw it on and go - and it will match a ton of different coverups! I highly recommend DownEast Basics for their swimwear and their clothing line!
