Description
The Roxy Sunshine Soul Tankini Set is the surf brand’s answer to a simple request: keep the Roxy print DNA and saltwater-ready fabric, but trade the triangle bikini for more torso coverage. It pairs a scoop-neck tankini top with a mid-rise brief bottom, sits in the active-swim Sunshine Soul collection, and retails around $69-89 for the full set. If you like the idea of a surf-heritage suit that stays put but you want more fabric over the midsection, this is the coverage-forward option in the Roxy line.
Fabric & build
The set uses Roxy’s standard swim fabric: a chlorine- and saltwater-resistant nylon-elastane blend built to survive pools and surf sessions without breaking down. The top is a scoop-neck cut with adjustable-strap construction, so you can set strap length to your torso rather than accepting a fixed drop. The bottom is a mid-rise brief with moderate rear coverage. The print range is the real signature here: florals, geometric patterns, and tropical motifs dominate, with solid colors available but less prominent than at heritage-coverage brands.
Fit & sizing (honest)
Roxy’s tankini runs true to size, so order your normal Roxy swim size. The adjustable straps let you fine-tune the top’s length and support, which matters because a tankini’s coverage depends on the top actually reaching the bottom without a gap when you raise your arms. Longer torsos should note that tankini tops can ride up in the water; the adjustable straps help, but if you are very long through the middle, size the top by torso length rather than bust alone. A useful detail: top and bottom are often sold separately, so you can mix a larger or smaller bottom with a different top size instead of compromising on a single set number.

How to style it
- Wear it as a full set for surf, paddle, or active pool days where you want the top to stay anchored.
- Split the set: pair the printed top with a solid boardshort or swim skirt for more lower coverage.
- Layer the tankini top under an open button-down or linen shirt as a beach-to-boardwalk top.
Who it’s for / who should skip
It’s for shoppers who want Roxy’s fabric and print range with more midsection coverage than a triangle bikini, and who value the mix-and-match top/bottom sizing. Skip it if you want maximum bust support built in, or if you prefer solid colors as your default. If print isn’t your thing, a solid-forward brand will serve you better.
Care
Rinse in cold water after every pool or ocean session to clear chlorine and salt, then lay flat to dry away from direct sun. Skip the machine dryer and avoid wringing, which stresses the elastane. Rotating between two suits extends the life of both.
FAQ
Does the Roxy tankini run true to size? Yes, order your normal size; the adjustable straps handle small torso-length differences.
Can I buy the top and bottom separately? Often yes, which is ideal if you need different top and bottom sizes.
Is the fabric pool-safe? Yes, it’s chlorine- and saltwater-resistant nylon-elastane.
Will the top ride up when I swim? The adjustable straps reduce it, but very long torsos should size the top by length.
Are solid colors available? Some, but the collection leans print-heavy; coverage brands like Lands’ End offer more solids.
Bottom line: The Roxy tankini for shoppers who want surf-heritage fabric and prints with more coverage and mix-and-match sizing.
