Product Insights & Style Tips
The vibe of the Frankies Bikinis Elena Crochet Top is unmistakably West Coast—airy, sun-charged, and tinged with a little bohemian romance. The lightweight, neutral-hued swimwear base moves with you, while the intricate scalloped crochet overlay nods to vintage market finds and late afternoons fading into golden hour. Between the nylon-spandex blend and soft acrylic cotton contrast, it’s equally ready to be seen on a Malibu boardwalk or layered over a bikini poolside. Unpadded cups and those delicate scallops keep everything feeling effortless and barely-there, catching glimmers of sunlight with every move.
Slip into the Elena and you’ll notice the custom comfort—adjustable shoulder straps and a back tie closure that allow for a close, secure fit without ever losing that easy, relaxed drape. The lightweight lining keeps it feeling light against the skin, blurring the line between swim top and statement crop. No matter your plans, this top adapts: wear it solo for a laid-back swim moment, or throw it over swimwear for post-beach hangs that don’t skip a beat on style. While the Elena isn’t sold as a set, it slips seamlessly into the rest of your beach rotation—just add favorite Frankies bottoms or vintage denim for an instant nod to the effortless cool the brand has built its name on.
Frankies Bikinis always channels a certain Malibu irreverence, and this piece carries that DNA forward. Crochet is back in the conversation—think nods to Y2K and indie surf nostalgia—making the Elena not just a swim staple but a collector’s piece for anyone whose style is as playful as it is intentional.
