bikinis swimsuits - The bikini was invented by Louis Reard and Jacques Heim, in Paris in 1946. However, because of its skimpiness, hardly anyone had the courage to use a bikini before the late 1950s, when actress Brigitte Bardot created a splash by wearing a bikini in the film, 'And God Created Woman.' The bikini revolution subsequently was a rage, and even took its own song: 'Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.'

triangle bikini - Returning to the present, bikinis have grown to be modest in character. Bikini bottoms are providing more coverage than in the past without giving up on their attractiveness. Last season witnessed straight, top-line bikini bottoms. Surprisingly, there have been hardly any deep-V bikini bottoms, thongs or G-strings around the corner. With more coverage in fashion, fashion houses are predicting how the 'skirtini' is going to be the next big thing in the swimsuit industry.

beach bikinis - Bikinis are available in a variety of styles, typically the most popular being 'Tankini' (a longer top that leaves only a small portion of the stomach exposed), 'Bandini' (a bikini using a bandeau top), 'Camikini' (similar to the tankini except the top looks like a camisole), and 'Boy Legs' (the bottom is longer and resembles short shorts). The classic halter-top, however, remains in vogue although the 'Bandini' was the hippest bikini style last season, with almost every swimwear label producing its own take on it. For your ties that bind, sashes, instead of spaghetti strings, were popular.

For those on the heavier side, sarongs continue being a flattering way to cover up the extra pounds, although board shorts really are a sporty alternative.
