A bikini skirt is one of the most versatile pieces you can pack for a beach trip. It takes seconds to pull on over your bikini bottom, gives you that elegant covered feeling at lunch or by the pool, and comes straight back off when you are ready to swim. Think of it as a bikini with a skirt built in, not a cover up you have to carry around separately.

At Mahequline, we designed the Sole Bikini Skirt exactly for this reason. It is a mini skirt cut in a dark brown fabric with vibrant orange flowers, lined in beige, with an adjustable side-tie closure so it fits every body. You wear it as a bikini cover up, as a beach-to-table piece, or as part of a full swim look with a matching triangle top.

Bikini skirt or bikini cover up?

The two terms are often used for the same thing, and honestly there is no wrong answer. A bikini cover up tends to suggest something loose and effortless, worn over a wet swimsuit without a second thought. A bikini skirt suggests more structure, a real silhouette, something you would wear to a beach dinner and feel dressed. The Sole sits right between the two. It is relaxed enough to throw on, structured enough to feel intentional.

How to style a bikini with skirt

The simplest way is to match it back to a triangle bikini top in a complementary colour. The Sole pairs well with earth tones, terracotta, and warm neutrals because of the brown base and orange floral print. Wear it low on the hips for a relaxed feel, or cinch the tie slightly higher for a more defined waist.

For a full beach-to-table look, add a linen shirt or a lightweight shirt dress over the top and swap your flip flops for sandals. The skirt does the work of making the outfit feel pulled together, so the rest can stay casual.

Why a bikini skirt travels better than a sarong

Sarongs and pareos are beautiful, but they need retying constantly and have a habit of slipping at the worst moment. A bikini skirt with a proper closure stays in place. The Sole has the side-tie so you can adjust it once and forget about it, which matters when you are walking from the sun lounger to the restaurant and do not want to think about what you are wearing.

It also packs completely flat and weighs almost nothing, so it earns its place in a carry-on even on a short trip.

The Sole Bikini Skirt

Designed in Copenhagen, made for warmer places. The Sole Bikini Skirt is part of the Mahequline swimwear collection and is available in one size that fits most through the adjustable tie. It pairs with the full Amore al Mare collection if you want a coordinated set.

If you have been looking for a bikini skirt that works as a real bikini cover up without sacrificing style, this is it.
