From the pool to the patio, this convertible swimsuit works wherever the day takes you.

Packing light isn’t always easy. Whether you’re flying to a tropical destination or traipsing to the neighbourhood pool, there’s a lot of stuff you need to take. But you know what’s a flex? Fitting all your must-haves into a single bag, and la Vie en Rose’s convertible triangle bikini top makes it that much easier.

Designed to be worn four different ways, this new swim top draws on la Vie en Rose’s signature bra expertise. Featuring supportive moulded cups, this style is like four bikinis in one: classic halter, draped halter, knotted halter and front-cross halter. It’s super versatile for whatever activity strikes your fancy, whether it’s low movement (flipping pages of the latest bestseller) or high effort (testing your balance on a paddleboard).

It also comes in five classic colours: blue, red, white, black and brown. Choose the hue that best fits your wardrobe and watch your outfit options expand, even as your bag stays teeny tiny. You’ll have more room for other essentials and, of course, more beach reads, which is always a win.

Here are four ways to wear the new convertible bikini top, no matter what you’re up to:

The string bikini has been a classic swimsuit style since the 1960s for two big reasons: it’s easy to adjust to suit a range of body types, and it covers minimal skin, which means fewer chunky tan lines. Of course, in 2026, slathering on sunscreen from head to toe is a must before stepping out into the sun, but if you tend to forget to reapply, wearing the classic halter with its thin strings will reduce unsightly tan or burn marks on your gorgeous skin. It’s also easy to untie and retie if you’ll be lying flat while lounging.

For a day at the beach

If your ideal beach day involves a little adventure—stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking or snorkelling—you’ll appreciate the draped halter, which has thicker pleated straps that tie around the neck. You’ll get extra coverage, and the straps will keep you comfortably in place, even if your bust is on the larger side. No matter which activities you dive into, you’ll feel completely secure and supported through every move.

For a candid shot

Ready for your close-up? The knotted halter adds visual interest, making it the perfect choice when capturing your favourite moments at the beach or pool. Simply knot each of the thicker straps, and voila, you’ve got another way to wear the single bikini you packed in your bag. Whether you’re swimming or snapping photos by the water, this suit will look flattering from every angle, so you can focus on the moment instead of adjusting your top.

For patio drinks

Go straight from the water to your next summer plan without the hassle of extra layers. This top converts to a front-cross halter, which means it works seamlessly under halter tops and low-backed dresses. You can even pair it with a strapless dress or top to create a look that’s all your own. The moulded cups provide support, so you’ll look lifted and smooth beneath your clothes—and totally appropriate whether you opt for mojitos on the boardwalk or martinis at an upscale eatery.
