The Triangle

A selection of triangle shaped swimwear from FatFace

The triangle is quite possibly the most classic swimwear shape. All our triangle styles have got removable pads and are lined to give greater protection and comfort, so whether you’re swimming or sunbathing you’ll be covered.

The Moulded cup

A collection of moulded cup bikini tops from FatFace

These styles are great, as all have moulded cups which offer support and a perfect fit. They’re also a super flattering shape to keep you feeling confident at the beach. We’ve got two great styles specifically designed to suit your shape — the Cody and the Carrie. The Cody Bikini Top is perfect for smaller busts, and features thicker under bust ties that are good for all back shapes. The Carrie Bikini Top is better for bigger busts, as the thicker halter straps offer extra support so you’ll stay comfortable all day.

The Bandeau

Bandeau swimwear shapes in two different colour options, from FatFace

With removable straps, these bandeau styles are really versatile. All our bandeau styles have got boning on the sides for added support, so whichever style and print you choose you know it’ll keep its shape.

The Tankini

A selection of tankini tops in three different prints, from FatFace

Perfect if you’re looking for a bit more coverage, these tankini tops are great for boosting confidence when you’re hitting the beach. And they’re just as easy to wear as a bikini. There are loads of flattering styles and prints to choose from, all with matching bikini bottoms. But they can be mix and matched too if you fancy something a bit different.

The Swimsuit

We've a range of flattering swimsuits at FatFace, in different styles, colours and prints.

With swimsuits to suit every shape — from the classic racer swimsuit to our bandeau and ruffled styles, there’s more choice than ever. All our swimsuits have tummy control lining, which is designed to smooth your figure, leaving you feeling confident by the pool. And with all our new and exciting prints, there’s bound to be something you want to squeeze into your holiday suitcase.

Expert teams of divers remove these nets and bring them to the surface, where they’re used to make this swimwear range. 100% of the profits from this product are split between the FatFace Foundation and the World Animal Protection charities.
