Bikinis

The modern bikini has changed and revolutionized the fashion industry. From its explosive emergence in the 1940s brought by French designers, the swimwear industry never looked back to the boring styles. The basic bikini is commonly defined as a two-piece swimsuit that covers the breast area and the groin area. Depending on the style and the cut, a bikini can provide more or less body coverage.

From its simple design mimicking women’s lingerie forms, the brassiere and panty, the bikini has now evolved into varying cuts and styles. This fortunate fashion morphing has benefited many women endowed with different body types. Gone are the days of complicated swimwear shopping because the basic bikini does not complement all women’s figures. Hence, almost anyone, whatever body type you have, can pull off wearing a bikini, just as long as you choose the right cut and colour.

Even if the simple cut of the typical bikini still thrives in the racks, it does not mean it is out of fashion. In fact, there are variations in the fabric, colours, printed designs and functionality. Even famous fashion designers try their hands on designing the classic bikini pieces to please the ever-growing bikini market. For as long as summer is always expected and the beach does not dry up, women would still line up to get new and trendy bikinis.

Currently, the bikini can be further divided into six variations: string bikinis, monokini, microkini, tankini, sling bikini and the sports bikini. Monokinis and tankinis often flatter any figure and provides more coverage than your usual bikini. For the daring types, the string bikinis, microkinis and the sling bikinis might be your options.
