Triangle or Bandeau? Meet the VESA and SOMA Bikini Sets

Triangle or Bandeau? Meet the VESA and SOMA Bikini Sets

Two of our most-loved bikini sets, two timeless silhouettes. The VESA and the SOMA are both classic, sophisticated, and endlessly wearable, but each has its own personality. So which one is right for you?

Whether you love the adjustable ease of a triangle or the elegant simplicity of a bandeau, here's everything you need to know about these two SUZU favourites, and how to choose the set you'll reach for all summer.


The VESA Set: Timeless Triangle

The VESA Triangle Bikini Top is a classic done beautifully. Its halter-style triangle silhouette is effortlessly flattering, with adjustable ties that let you customise the fit exactly to you.

And here's the part triangle-lovers will appreciate: it's double-lined for real support. As one of our customers put it, it's finally a triangle top that actually holds you, secure and comfortable from morning swim to sunset.

The matching VESA Tie-Side Bottom is just as adaptable. Adjustable side ties let you customise the rise and coverage, while the Brazilian cut elongates the legs for a clean, flattering line. Finished with signature gold halo hardware and custom gold stoppers, it's refined, adjustable, and unmistakably SUZU.

Choose VESA if you love: a customisable, adjustable fit, a supportive triangle, and a flirtatious, elevated look.


The SOMA Set: Elegant Bandeau

The SOMA Bandeau Bikini Top is pure, timeless elegance. Its clean bandeau silhouette exudes classic charm, adorned with vintage gold signature hardware at the front for that unmistakable SUZU polish.

The clever detail? A removable neck strap. Wear it strapless for an even tan and a sleek, minimal line, or clip the strap on for extra support and a halter look. One top, two ways to wear it.

Paired with a matching bottom, the SOMA set is a sophisticated choice for the modern sun seeker, understated, refined, and beautiful.

Choose SOMA if you love: a sleek, elegant silhouette, minimal tan lines, and versatile strapless-or-halter styling.


Which Set Is Right for You?

Both are beautiful, so it really comes down to your style and the look you love:

  • Go for VESA if you want an adjustable, customisable fit with the support of a double-lined triangle. It's flirtatious, flattering, and easy to tailor to your shape.

  • Go for SOMA if you love a clean, elegant bandeau and the flexibility of wearing it strapless or with a strap. It's timeless and endlessly chic.

Still torn? Our Find Your Perfect Fit Quiz can help, and the size guide ensures you get the fit just right. Both sets fit true to size, and if you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

The Details They Share

However different they look, VESA and SOMA are built to the same exacting SUZU standard.

Both are meticulously crafted from OEKO-TEX® certified Italian swim fabric, double-lined for support and durability, with a soft, lustrous shimmer and four-way stretch that moves with you. They're quick-drying, hold their shape wear after wear, and finished with our signature gold halo hardware.

Our Signature Print pieces go a step further, made with REPREVE® regenerated nylon, which helps divert plastic bottles from landfill and oceans. It's sustainable swimwear that cares for you and the planet, produced in limited runs, so when a piece is gone, it's gone.

How to Style Them This Summer

Both sets are beautifully easy to dress up. Layer a linen shirt or beach robe over the top for lunch, add a wide-brim hat and gold jewellery, and you're ready for anything from a swim to sunset drinks.

Because they're separates, you can also mix and match. Swap the VESA triangle onto a different bottom, or pair the SOMA bandeau with a bold print below, and one set quietly becomes several looks.

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is the main difference between the VESA and SOMA bikini sets?
VESA is a triangle-style set with adjustable ties for a customisable, supportive fit, while SOMA is a bandeau-style set with a removable neck strap that can be worn strapless or as a halter. VESA suits a flirtatious, adjustable look, while SOMA offers sleek, minimal tan-line styling.
Is the VESA Triangle Top supportive enough to swim in?
Yes. The VESA top is double-lined for real support, designed to hold securely from morning swim to sunset rather than just looking the part.
Can the SOMA Bandeau Top be worn without strap?
Yes. The neck strap is removable, so you can wear it strapless for an even tan and a sleek line, or clip the strap on for extra support and a halter look.
Do VESA and SOMA run true to size?
Yes, both sets fit true to size. If you are between sizes, sizing up is recommended. The Find Your Perfect Fit Quiz and size guide can help if you are still deciding.
What fabric are the VESA and SOMA sets made from?
Both are crafted from OEKO-TEX® certified Italian swim fabric with four-way stretch, quick-drying performance, and double lining for durability. Signature Print pieces use REPREVE® regenerated nylon, made from recycled plastic bottles.
Can I mix and match pieces between VESA and SOMA sets?
Yes. Since both are sold as separates, you can pair the VESA top with a different bottom or the SOMA bandeau with another print, turning two sets into multiple looks.
How should I care for my VESA or SOMA set to make it last?
Rinse in cool water after each wear, avoid the washing machine and dryer, and let pieces air dry away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve the fabric's shape, colour, and four-way stretch over time.
Are the VESA and SOMA sets part of a limited release?
Signature Print pieces made with REPREVE® regenerated nylon are produced in limited runs, so once a print sells out, it will not be restocked.
