We think our swimsuits should work hard (even when we're kicking back by the pool), so we upgraded to a new technical fabric that's less spongy (designer speak for more comfortable), with curve-flattering four-way stretch and a sophisticated matte finish. For a feminine touch, we added a little ruching around the bust of this classic tie-up halter top. The only thing missing? A topknot and an umbrella drink.
