How to decide in one minute

If you want to swim hard

Either works. Pick the one with the most secure fit for you. A snug monokini and a tied halter bikini both stay put.

If you want to sunbathe

A bikini set gives you the most skin and the classic lines. A cut-out monokini gives you a pattern instead.

If you want coverage

Choose a monokini, especially one with a skirt.

If you cannot decide

Buy one of each. AOBA has easy 7-day returns, and the Buy 2 Get 15% off offer applies at checkout.
