Kulani Kinis Long Crop Bikini Top
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Full Coverage, Extra-Strong Hold
The Kulani Kinis Long Crop Bikini Top is built for women who want their bust fully covered and completely secure. The signature thick rib cage band delivers an extra-strong underbust hold that sets this style apart from standard bikini tops. Kulani Kinis fit experts note that roughly 90% of fans of this style wear D+ cup sizes, making it one of the most supportive options in their lineup. It doubles as a sports bra for many wearers.
Fabric and Construction
The fabric is 80% polyester and 20% elastane, giving it both shape retention and a comfortable stretch. The feel is glossy and buttery soft, and Kulani Kinis notes it feels noticeably thicker and more luxe than competing brands. The top is breathable and fully lined with two layers of high-quality fabric for confidence in and out of the water. Because of this finish, take care around sharp jewelry or rough surfaces that could snag the material.
Fit and Structure
The rib cage band is non-adjustable, and the shoulder straps are also non-adjustable, so the fit is consistent and stays put. Kulani Kinis designs this style to run slightly larger, so sizing down is recommended if you fall between sizes, particularly in ribbed fabric versions. The best way to choose your fit is to go by your underbust measurement rather than your cup size alone. Shoulder strap length scales approximately 1.5 cm per size increment for a proportional fit across the range.
Coverage and Padding
This is an unpadded top with no removable inserts and no internal pocket space. The long crop silhouette provides generous coverage across the torso, so the security and coverage come from the structure of the band and fabric rather than padding.
