Hey You.
When Strange Bikinis owner and designer Ali Conway started Strange Bikinis, she did so with the sole purpose of inclusion. Sure, you see it everywhere today in companies like Nike, LuluLemon, Alo Yoga, and even couture fashions labels such as Stella Mcartney and Marc Jacobs are riding the inclusive bandwagon (let’s be clear the more companies that adopt this practice the better), all we are saying is that we have been doing it since day one! When is day one you ask? Spring 2012. Yep, we have been making sassy little bikinis for babes who want to wear cheeky bikinis. Slowly but surely we are making the beaches cheekier and we love it!
Bikini Shopping
We are a small business based out of Reno, NV but we have excellent news for you. We ship worldwide! Yep, bikini shop from your phone. However, we are super pumped about our brand new brick and mortar retail bikini shop in Santa Cruz, California. Bay area babes we can’t wait to see you. We also have a brick and mortar in Reno, NV. Bikini shopping in person has never been better. Our staff is the friendliest and honestly, you will leave feeling amazing. We can’t wait to meet you.
More bikini shopping info
If you're just finding Strange Bikinis now, then you probably don’t know that Ali started this business out of her in-laws home. She used to hand sew each and every bikini. It was a “made to order” type operation. Now you can bikini shop our beautiful collections designed by Ali, but produced by our small batch factory in San Francisco, California. Each collection has limited quantities to provide the utmost quality product we can achieve. However, if you’re in the mood for a custom bikini or one piece we have something for you too.
Custom Bikini
You can still shop online for custom swimwear. Simply follow the link at the bottom. If you are in the Reno/Tahoe area and would like to come to our retail store you can also book a custom fitting appointment. This gives you the opportunity to meet Ali and go over what your dream bikini looks like. You get to pick from one of a kind fabrics and discuss bikini fit and sizing.
Real Women in Bikinis
To us a real woman is someone who is comfortable in her own skin. She feels free to be herself and be confident in who she is plus she puts adventure first. Whether it’s having spring break in Bali, swimming under waterfalls in Hawaii, dancing at music festivals, or hiking in Costa Rica, or ordering a cocktail from a spa apres ski in Aspen (she orders over, not up), she’s there to be herself and do whatever the hell she wants. A real woman can be plus size, she can be thin, she can be anywhere in between, all that matters is her view of herself, what makes her real is her genuine passion for life and living it to the fullest.
We want your bikini shopping experience with Strange Bikinis to reflect your authenticity and to celebrate you and everything you love. Whether that’s wearing coverups to find tacos after a long day at the beach or rocking your yellow polka dot ‘kini in the hot tub-- we’re there for you and we’re all about it. In fact, can we join you?
Finding the Best Bikini for Your Body Type
We’re just going to start off by saying this, the best swimsuit for your body type is one that makes you feel best. All of the arbitrary rules that we’ve seen over the years saying things like “you can’t wear a bandeau bikini tops if you’re a DDD bra size” or “you can’t mix and match colors if you have a long torso” are so outdated. Really, who made these rules? The new rule is that we define what looks good for us! You can totally rock high waisted bikini bottoms if you’re petite and being plus size is all the more reason to wear a string bikini top.
Highlight the things you love about yourself and forget about the rest. If you love your bum, show it off with cheeky bikini bottoms! If you want to cover up, we’re here for that too. We have full coverage bikinis like the El Capitan Bikini Bottoms. Bikini shopping can be hard, but our ultra flattering suits are there to hug every curve and show off your favorite assets. A real woman dresses for herself and picks clothing that shows off who she is!
Wearing a Swimsuit Off The Beach
There are so many ways to bring your swimwear from the beach to everyday life! The Retro Palm print Galena one piece is one of our favorite suits to wear as a bodysuit with a cute skirt and some accessories, wear her to brunch or to a party! We love wearing our bikini tops under dresses, tops, and jumpers or as lightweight sports bras. All of our one piece suits and bikini tops are great for yoga or as loungewear. We love wearing our best-selling 2018 Arancia bikini top (it’s on sale!) under a sweater watching Netflix.
What is the Strange Difference?
When you order from Strange Bikinis, you’re ordering from real people. Unlike some huge corporations, we put our hands on every single item. When we’re shipping your orders we check every bikini to make sure it’s perfect for you, wrap it in bikini print tissue paper, and write notes to you telling you how much we love and appreciate you. We’re like your dream person but actually we’re better because we won’t steal the covers at night! The women who work at Strange Bikinis truly love swimwear and are the biggest Strange fans of all.
Most of us who work here have at least three sets and nothing makes us more excited than when we get to see the newest bikinis because we know just how much you’re going to love them too. Like we’ve said before, bikini shopping can be tricky! We’ve seen that a lot of women have life long insecurities they’re working on overcoming (you’re not alone if you have one) so we’ve created a community that’s there to lift you up and celebrate the real you! When you shop with us, we will do everything we can to help you feel your best and we welcome you as a Stranger! We think you’re going to love it here.

Just by scrolling down this far I know you are interested in more details about Strange Bikinis and we would personally like to thank you for doing so! Bikini shopping online can be quite daunting. Bikinis shopping in person isn’t easy either, but rest assured Strange Bikinis has created high end designer swimwear with sustainability in mind.
I love the bliss top so much. I wear a 34c and felt like the large was a good for full coverage for me. A medium would have been fine too but the Reno shop just had large in the burnt sienna. I never ever wear warm toned colors, but something was pulling me to the sienna top with deep blue ranger bottoms that day and OH MY is it a perfect combo for my olive skin tone. Absolutely favorite bikini this summer. I love how easily you can mix and match Strange Bikini pieces. The staff was the absolute sweetest too while I tried on nearly everything in my size in the store. Picking a bikini is serious business! ❤️❤️❤️
So cute and flattering. So many ways to wear it it’s like 3 bikinis in one! Also made out of the comfiest material
Love it, so cute as a suit and an active top!
One of favorite tops!! I own it in two colors. Love the fabrics that's Strange uses and I love the fit of this. Sporty yet sexy and never a fear of nip slip!
This top is super flattering and comfy, it seriously makes my boobs look amazing. Strange bikinis know how to cut the most flattering swimsuit!
I love this one peice! I have actually worn it as a "shirt" under jean shorts a couple of times and love the open back style and tight fit. It is so comfortable and is now my go to one piece.
Love the soft fabric! Fits and lightly supportive for water sports! 🏊🏼♀️🏄🏼♀️
I have a medium top (wear 32/34 C/D - bra sizes for me are all over the map). Will buy more in this style!
This top is so cute and I love the color. I got it in the wild things print and it is the best suit. So comfortable to wear.
This top is so soft, I love the material and the design. I wish it was a teeny bit bigger. (Got an XL, usually around a 40D and a 16/18) but it fits and is cute! Would buy again.
In love with this one piece! Bought it in the leopard print and have been wearing it around as a bodysuit because it's SOOOO comfortable! Love the lace up details! If you're thinking about it, make the plunge! Expensive but so worth it! I'm a size 8 pear shape with a long torso. In Strange separates, I'm a small on top and a M/L on the bottom. For the Stryker, I got a size L.
I LOVE THIS TOP! The shape of the top is super flattering. I'm a mom of three so my ladies are a little...deflated. This top props them up, gives me some cleavage, and I get compliments on it every single time I wear it. I got it in Sand Harbor and it goes with literally every single colored bottoms that I own. The neutral color is perfect and really pops on my tanned summer skin.
I absolutely love this top. So soft with the most beautiful design. I exchanged it for a dunae top only because I’m DDD and I wanted a touch more coverage.
This has been long awaited! I LOVE this crop top SO much and the fact that it has long sleeves that actually keep me from getting too burnt is a GOD SEND! Thank you Strange Bikinis! It's buttery soft just like everything else and is SO flattering. I feel like it adds shape and gives me the confidence to wear it to the store for snacks before lake day. I was worried that it would be a bit hot, but I've worn it so often in the middle of they day during the hot Tahoe sun and have not been overheated any more than normal. This top is truly one of my favs and I just love how simple but cute and flattering it is.
Being a mom at the beach, you are constantly on the go. This top is supportive and offers coverage all while still being extremely attractive. Easy access for nursing but nice and secure when you're chasing your wild minions or surfing the wake. Love this top!
I was worried about a bandeau but this one holds everything in place! I've got it in a few colors 🥰
I love this bottom for so many reasons - the versatility of wearing the slits on the front or the back is my favorite feature. The material is so soft and doesn’t give me a wedgie ! It drys super fast and I wash it on delicate in my washer.
The color and fit is so good! Definitely buying more of this top!
This was my first swimsuit from Strange Bikinis and it did not disappoint! This swimsuit is just the best and the fact that it is reversible makes it double the perfection! It is so comfortable and flattering on my body and I love the cuts/detailing on the sides!
I got this top in Plumb Lane and I am obsessed!! It is so flattering on my deeper skin tone!
The style is absolutely adorable and the detailing on the back makes it even cuter! The material is so soft and the high neck isn’t bothersome at all and actually super comfortable to wear.
I love love love this top! I absolutely adore the color (got mine in Gold Coast) and how unique the style is! It is so soft and comfortable and works great as a bikini top or even as a cropped tank under overalls!
Absolutely hands down the most amazing bathing suit top - keeps me cool when it’s wet on the hottest beach days. Keeps the sun off my chest & shoulders

I have a picture of these bottoms saved on my IG from years ago. Never took the plunge to purchase. I normally shop for cheap bikinis at Target, so with the price, it’s hard to commit. I will NEVER buy another suit at Target! That is huge to say. Worth every.single.penny. I bought 2 more suits immediately after buying these. These bottoms are so flattering. Comfortable. The softest fabric you can imagine. A tiny bit of stretch so if you’re in between sizes, it’s a bonus. The tie detail in the back is gorgeous and you can adjust for how cheeky you want. I have a butt, so these are slightly more cheeky on me, but still family outing appropriate. I’m 5’6” 140lbs, athletic build. Usually a size 4/28in waist and I went with medium. Perfect fit.
Love these Capitan bottoms. I purchased the black ribbed/retro palm. Buttery soft material. Hits right at my belly button. Love the ties in the back-perfect for in between sizes. I can do small or mediums in bottoms and i went with a small in this one. 5’6” 140lbs size 4. Athletic build
I love strange bikini’s!! Comfy, and so freaking cute!! Thank you Allie! I purchased XL...ps, I want this in blue. 😘
Their stickers are as awesome as their suits! Needed some flare to add to my yeti colster.
I recently moved back to Hawaii and have been on the lookout for a new suit specifically for surfing. Got this thinking it would be functional and sexy, and it definitely is! Wore it yesterday and received a number of compliments. It didn’t move around much and was super comfortable. I’m 5’9”, 145lbs and got a size small which fits perfectly. It’s cheeky, but Doesn’t ride up and doesn’t squeeze anywhere. I love this suit!
Soft fabric that stays put AND is flattering!! Wears well and it’s waterski-safe! 😅
I am so thrilled with my new swimsuit! I can’t imagine life without it now, or jumping into mountain lakes without it! The fabric is so soft that I don’t feel like I’m even wearing a suit, and it’s a very flattering cut!! Love love love!!!!
These bottoms are so cute and super flattering. The high cut style and thin straps gives the illusion of a slimmer waist and longer legs. Love the color and fabric too!
LOOOOOOOOVE IT!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! When you get more in black, I'm buying another!
I absolutely love this suit! The fabric is so buttery soft and has a great stretch to it. The lace-up on the back allows for me to adjust my cheek coverage. I was in between a small and medium and went with small. I’m 5’6” 140lb 34C size 4 athletic build
I was unsure about the high neck, holy moly! It’s perfect! Material is soft and buttery it doesn’t bother my neck at all. I bought this top originally because I needed something for hiking/swimming when I go to rivers, water holes, and some cool lake spots that require a hike to get to! This did not disappoint at all! I felt fully supported, and dry time was so optimal o was able to put a shirt on for the hike back, but not like I wanted to, it’s too cute!
This top is so soft and so comfortable! I love how cute it is and the colors are so fun. The fabric is such great quality! Worth the price
These are the third of my SB bottoms and so far, they are my favorite!! I typically like a higher waist but these fit perfectly. The scrunch on the buns is perfect and flattering for all body types!
I got these bottoms in the gold coast color, which is SO cute. I usually wear a size 6 pants and got the medium. They aren't super snug and they are so soft which makes them really comfy for all day hanging. I've been wearing them around the house on hot days and at the lake. Highly recommend.
