The term bikini traditionally refers to a two-piece swimsuit that
reveals generous portions of a woman's midriff, back, and thighs. The
bikini is currently the most revealing swimsuit option available for
women.History:
The modern bikini was invented by engineer Louis Reard in Paris in the year 1946, and named after Bikini Atoll, the site of nuclear weapon tests in the Marshall Islands, on the reasoning that it would cause excitement which would be like an atomic bomb. This now extremely popular swimsuit still continues to shock the world with its complex style and design.
Styles and Types:
There are currently several popular styles and types of bikinis. Some bikinis can offer a large amount of coverage, while other bikinis provide only the barest minimum coverage considered socially acceptable. Bikini tops come in several different styles and cuts, including a halter-style neck that offers more coverage and support, strapless bandeau, and the more traditional triangle cups. Bikini bottoms, also, can vary in their style and cut and in the amount of coverage they offer.
With all of the options available to women in terms of style, the bikini is currently the most popular swimsuit choice among young women. According to a survey conducted by the Mervyns' department, the bikini is the most common type of swimsuit purchased by young women. It will likely remain as one of the most stylish and popular swimsuit options available as swimwear.
