The Phenomenon of the Bikini: Why We All Love Bikinis… and Always Will

What is about the bikini that makes it loved by men and women alike, and adored the world over? Since its creation in the XXX, the bikini has secured itself as the number one women’s swimwear favorite, surpassing the traditional one piece swimsuit. However, while the bikini of today bares many similarities to the original bikini, the last XX years have seen the bikini go through radical transformations and a range of different styles and trends.

So what is a bikini? In the most basic of terms, a bikini is a two piece women’s swimsuit. However, to say that it is simply two pieces of swimwear would be to undermine the very essence of the bikini. A bikini, at its heart, is the most magical of swimsuits and one that shows off a woman’s figure at its very best.

Over the years, we have seen the rise and fall in popularity of certain bikini styles. The string bikini is perhaps the most well known of these. A string bikini is a bikini consisting of ‘strings’ or ‘ties’ that are tied at the neck, back and at the sides of the bikini bottoms. These swimsuit bikinis are adjustable, which is probably the number one factor for their popularity, as is the material covering the bust. But if we’re going to be really honest here, the real reason is their sex appeal – string bikinis are hot, whatever way you want to look at it.

Today, bikini styles run the gamut from the sweet and cute bikinis to the downright sexy bikinis. And of course, all of the bikini styles in between. Most often, you’ll find bikinis mixing up different styles. In fact today, you can even mix and match your bikinis yourself, with bikini tops and bottoms sold separately for your creative convenience.

Whatever your bikini style – whether you’re a hot bikini girl or a lover of designer bikinis, bikinis are a woman’s best friend. And I’ll guarantee you this, they’re pretty friendly with the men too!
