Tidal Bliss

The Tidal Bliss swimwear ensemble is that rare thing in the world of swimming costumes, a two-piece that doesn’t make you wonder if you’ve put on your bottom half too high and your top half too low. The top half, a fitted crop with adjustable spaghetti straps, is a study in sleekness, its solid black base enlivened by a horizontal band of wavy pastel colours, a combination that will make you look as if you have just stepped from a Vogue photo shoot, one of those Vogue photo shoots in which the models look as if they are having fun. The high-waisted bikini bottom provides extra coverage, and in these days of the Brazilian thong that counts as a major fashion statement. The blend of spandex and nylon ensures a snug fit while allowing plenty of freedom for those movements that make swimming such a healthy exercise. It will also allow you to lie around the pool looking fabulous, if that’s how you prefer to keep healthy.
