BANDED

Size & fit guide

The Banded Bikini is unique to Ark. Designed to solve the problem of swimwear riding up your glutes. Unlike other bottoms, there are no seams, stitching, rubber or elastic running over your glutes - it's just our buttery soft fabric. This eliminates the rubbing against your skin, and any digging into your glutes. Our Banded bottoms are also structured with a gentle middle seam detail at the back to define your glutes. All of these features combined prevents your bottoms riding up and gives the illusion of perkier glutes, whilst providing all-day comfort. Our fabrics are treated with colour fastness, anti-yellowing and UV protection to prolong and enhance their lifecycle. Our extremely soft fabric will mould to your body for a second-skin look and feel.

We do premium, timeless swimwear.

YOU'VE CHOSEN MODEL A

Underwire Bralette (Small) and Banded (X-Small)

WHO IT SUITS:

This one is great for those that don’t like their swimwear riding up their glutes, due to the lack of seams over the glutes.

Those with bigger glutes favour our Banded bottoms as it gives the ideal back rise.

If you don’t like when the sides of bikinis roll, you’ll like this one as the sides stay in place.

TRYING IT ON:

You want this to dig in on your sides the first time you try it on, as the fabric will loosen once it gets wet.

After you’ve worn it wet for the first few times, the sides will mould to your body – feeling just like a second-skin.

If you have tan lines, picture yourself evenly tanned when trying the bikini on. This will help you feel less exposed and have a more accurate fitting experience.
