Start with how much support you actually need
The fastest way to narrow a bikini top is to decide how much support you want and how much you want to adjust the fit. Triangle tops and scoop bralettes can both be low support, but they control that fit differently. A front tie top puts adjustment at the center front, where you can tighten or loosen the fit in one place.
If you are swimming laps or surfing, look for a top with more structure than a low-support style. The records for the three Volcom tops below describe low support or adjustable ties, not high-impact support. Use that as a starting point, not a guarantee.
Triangle top: adjustable ties and removable cups
- Women's Pucker Up Triangle Top: The Women's Pucker Up Triangle Top has low support, removable cups and adjustable tie straps. The tie straps let you adjust the fit at the neck and back, and the removable cups let you change the level of shaping. Low support makes it a better match for lounging and light swimming than for high-impact activity.

Scoop bralette: reversible and easy to adjust
- Women's Coco Retro Bloom Scoop Bralette Reversible: The Women's Coco Retro Bloom Scoop Bralette Reversible has low support, adjustable straps and a reversible design that flips for two looks. The reversible design gives you two color options from one top, and the adjustable straps let you fine-tune the fit. The low support makes it a relaxed choice for beach days rather than intense activity.

Front tie top: one adjustment point
- Women's Gritty Aloha Front Tie Tri: The Women's Gritty Aloha Front Tie Tri has a front tie design for an adjustable fit and a multi-color pattern. The front tie puts the adjustment where you can see and reach it easily. The multi-color pattern is a style choice that stands out, but the fit is still controlled by the tie.
Triangle vs scoop bralette vs front tie at a glance
- Triangle top (Pucker Up): Low support, removable cups, adjustable tie straps. Best for lounging, light swimming and a classic triangle shape. Ties adjust at the neck and back.
- Scoop bralette (Coco Retro Bloom): Low support, adjustable straps, reversible for two looks. Best for a relaxed beach day and if you want two tops in one. Adjusts at the straps.
- Front tie top (Gritty Aloha): Front tie for adjustable fit, multi-color pattern. Best if you like a bold print and want to adjust the fit at the center front.
Sizing and availability checks before you buy
- Check the size range for each style: The Pucker Up Triangle Top comes in XS–XL in Acid Lemon and S–L in Bright Fuschia. The Coco Retro Bloom Scoop Bralette comes in XS–XXL in Java Brown. The Gritty Aloha Front Tie Tri comes in XS–XL in Multi. Not every color is available in every size, so check the variant list before you commit.
- Decide if you want removable cups: Only the Pucker Up Triangle Top is described as having removable cups. The other two records do not confirm removable cups, so if that feature matters to you, the triangle top is the one to choose.
- Consider whether you want two looks in one: The Coco Retro Bloom Scoop Bralette is reversible, so you get two color options from one top. The other two are not described as reversible in the supplied records.
What the records do not confirm
The supplied product records do not include care instructions for any of these tops. They also do not confirm UV protection, chlorine resistance or specific fabric performance beyond the recycled nylon or recycled fabric content noted. If you need those details, check the product page or the care label before you buy.
None of the records describe high-impact support. If you plan to surf or do water sports, look for a top designed for that use rather than relying on a low-support style.
