The Mae Underwire Top in Sun Forged Gold is where structure meets shimmer—ethereal, sculpted, and luminous against the skin. Draped, light-catching fabric forms softly contoured cups, supported by underwire for an elevated, flattering fit with exceptional support. Signature riptide rope straps, twisted in gold and silver, trace the shoulders with a subtle glint and adjust for a custom feel, while a back clasp keeps everything secure. Part of the Sea of Sirens collection, it’s a piece that feels both powerful and weightless—like something shaped by the tides and kissed by the sun.

    CHEEKY CUT / FULL COVERAGE

    Our Cheeky/Full-coverage swim bottoms prioritize comfort and modesty, offering the most fabric across the back and often sitting lower on the hips or at the natural waist. They provide a secure, stay-in-place fit that’s great for active beach days or simply feeling more covered. The shape smooths and supports the hips and rear while still giving a flattering, body-conscious silhouette. This classic cut is a timeless choice for those who want confident coverage without sacrificing style.

    SEMI CHEEKY / MODERATE COVERAGE

    Our Semi-Cheeky swim bottom strikes a balance between modest and daring, offering moderate back coverage that reveals just enough.

    SEMI BRAZILIAN

    Our Semi-Brazilian swim bottom offers a happy medium between Brazilian and Semi-Cheeky.

    BRAZILIAN BOTTOM / MINIMAL

    Our Brazilian swim bottom is known for its minimal rear coverage.

      Absolutely gorgeous

      The material is soft and flattering. The shoulder straps are adjustable, it ties in the back but no worries of it coming undone if you don’t want it to. The underwire cups gift it just enough support. I ordered the XS and usually wear an 32C. Absolutely my new favorite swim top.

      Fits just right

      I often have the problem of not having my babes secured enough when going in the waves or water activities, but it's not the case for this bra! Feels soft at touch and it's comfy compared to others I've tried before while it ensures you it stays on you and doesn't fly away lol

      This top screams luxury beach girl. The fit is flattering, secure, and insanely comfortable. I paired it with oversized white linen pants and felt like I walked straight out of a resort campaign

      I have a larger chest and was shocked at how supportive this bikini top feels while still looking sexy. The colors are vibrant, the fabric feels luxe, and it photographs beautifully in the sun

      This top fits like a dream. The underwire gives me the perfect lift without digging in, and the print is even prettier in person. I wore it on a beach trip to Miami and got compliments all weekend long!
