Mini bikini characteristics, fashion trends and tips for choosing

Fashionistas who love to catch the admiring glances of others try to show off their figure in the best possible way on vacation. A mini-bikini, the most provocative swimsuit, is ideal for this occasion. To create a spectacular image, devoid of even a hint of vulgarity, you need to carefully select the product, taking into account the range of models, the features of your figure and the latest fashion trends.

Features of mini models

Mini bikini is a separate type of swimsuit. The main distinguishing features are a bra with thin straps, panties with high cutouts on the sides. Such products reveal almost the entire body, so they are ideal for getting a beautiful even tan.

The models are relevant for young, confident girls with a fit figure. Designers create options for slim and curvy silhouettes. The swimsuit is appropriate for the pool, the beach or theme parties.

When sewing products, various design variations can be used. The bodice is designed in several ways:

1. Triangles with ties around the neck. This option is more suitable for women with small breasts, but often owners of curvy shapes also opt for it. Advantages: reliable fixation on the bust, does not slip off during bathing. Disadvantages: uneven tan due to fastenings.
2. On straps. Traditional option, thick straps and V-neck help to visually enlarge the chest. Advantages: excellent bust support, silhouette correction. Disadvantages: uneven tan.
3. Bandeau. Has no straps, ideal for girls with small bust. Advantages: beautiful romantic models, visually make the chest bigger. Disadvantages: does not fix as securely as the previous options, can fly off when wet.
4. Halter. It is a bra with one strap that goes around the neck. Advantages: with a push-up effect, it corrects the silhouette, ideal for girls with wide hips and narrow shoulders. Disadvantages: not suitable for the "inverted triangle" figure type, contributes to uneven tanning.

The best products for those with large breasts are models with a twisted bodice, bones for support, and crossed straps in the front. As for the design of panties, briefs and tangas are used. The former provide a cutout to the middle of the thigh, an elastic band at the waist, and cover the buttocks. The latter consist of a pair of triangles connected by an elastic band or a thin fabric strip.

Who are they suitable for?

Compared to the classic bikini, fashionable mini swimsuits are distinguished by the presence of miniature panties. As for the top, in the first and second cases, open and closed options are acceptable. Suitable for slender girls with a beautiful, toned figure. If there are any flaws - a protruding tummy, folds, stretch marks, cellulite - they will all be visible. Special requirements are imposed on the condition of the skin: it must be perfectly smooth, well-groomed, with an even tan.

The first open swimsuits appeared in Ancient Rome. This is evidenced by ancient mosaics with images of women who play sports in suits made of two separate elements. Such products became the prototypes of modern models. In the 20th century, the first bikinis appeared, which were demonstrated by Micheline Bernardini. Subsequently, they were promoted by Brigitte Bardot. The peak of popularity of the models was noted in the 80s.

An interesting method was used to determine whether a swimsuit was a bikini: both parts had to fit freely through a wedding ring.

What is the difference from micro?

One of the variations of the bikini swimsuit is the "micro" category, which is characterized by miniature panties. The most revealing models are complemented by thongs with straps in the form of laces. Such options are called differently: strings, Brazilian bikinis or not by size. The bra is always open, with ties on the neck and inserts made of translucent material. Most products are plain. Along with the classic separate swimsuit, which consists of triangular cups without bones and shaping inserts, there is also a one-piece model with a V-shape, when the straps smoothly widen at the chest, turning into a bodice. Thongs provide a very low waistline, complemented by metal clips.

When comparing these two variations, we can note the significant advantages of the mini bikini:

• the design is more original;
• there is a greater variety of styles;
• the requirements for the figure are not so strict;
• there is a possibility of silhouette correction.

Mini bikinis are versatile in use: they are great for relaxing on city and wild beaches, and are relevant for theme parties - this is another plus in favor of this particular model.

Materials and colors

Bold swimsuits are made from natural, artificial or semi-synthetic fabrics. The most common materials are:

1. Microfiber. It has a silky, pleasant to the touch surface, the fabric allows air to pass through freely. The main disadvantages: gradual loss of shape, and therefore not a very long service life.
2. Lycra. It is elastic and stretches well. About 30% of this material is included in any other swimsuit fabric.
3. Polyamide. Used to create luxurious models due to its attractive shiny surface. The fabric dries quickly, making the figure more toned.
4. Polyester. Does not fade in the sun, but quickly loses its original shape and takes a long time to dry.
5. Tactel. Semi-synthetic fiber, consists of lycra and knitwear. Characterized by elasticity, quick drying, comfort when wearing.

Bright colors, metallic, monochrome, and marine-themed prints are trending. Bright red, blue, burgundy, black, brown, and white items are ideal for brunettes. Owners of an ideal figure will love the yellow mini swimsuit - it's a real hit of the season. Blondes are contraindicated shades that match the color of their hair: white, sand, beige, golden. The ideal solution for them will be red, pink, cherry, blue tones.

Maroon, emerald, raspberry, and chocolate models will help to shade a golden tan. Girls with pale skin can give it a glow with caramel, soft pink, and peach swimsuits.

Fashion trends in design

This season, beach styles are popular, which consist of matching, but not identical in design and color, panties and a bra. For example, a dark bottom made of thick fabric looks great with a light, airy top.

In swimsuit models from famous designers, a variety of bright colors reigns, yellow, orange, blue, pink colors are relevant. Meanwhile, preference is often given to laconic options with a simple cut, without unnecessary decorations. Monochrome models are decorated with lacing, multi-layered details. A laced top always looks impressive, attracts the eyes of others. Double or triple straps accentuate the seductive curves of the body.

The trend among bikinis is swimsuits decorated with various patterns and interlacing. Prints with large flowers are also popular, voluminous buds and small floral ornaments look incredibly feminine. "Predatory coloring" does not go out of fashion: tiger, cheetah. Spotting perfectly sets off the tan. Models with patterns in the form of geometric figures or sewn from textured fabrics are still relevant.

Tips for choosing

A well-chosen swimsuit skillfully turns the disadvantages of the silhouette into advantages. It is necessary to take into account the type of figure:

1. "Hourglass". Owners of pronounced bust, hips and thin waist will suit any models, including transparent swimsuits. It is important not to make a mistake with the color and prints.
2. "Pear". Bandeau and halter models are optimal, which emphasize narrow shoulders, distracting attention from curvy hips. Options with a dark bottom and a colorful bright top are ideal. Panties should not have large prints or ties.
3. "Inverted triangle". Swimsuits with an emphasis on the hips are selected. It is worth paying attention to models with shorts, which perfectly correct the silhouette. When choosing classic panties, preference is given to products with flounces and ruffles, side ties. A swimsuit with a plain top and bottom, decorated with stripes, is optimal.
4. "Rectangle". For those with a slightly defined waist, monokinis are suitable - one-piece models in an extravagant design. It is also worth paying attention to products with an optical print.

To visually increase your height, you need to choose swimsuits with high cuts on the panties: they add charm to the image and make the legs look longer.

Open swimsuits with thongs and strapless tops are suitable for sunbathing - the tan will be as even as possible. For active recreation, products with classic panties, a bodice with bones or with special inserts that support the chest are selected. Extreme options are relevant only for young fashionistas with a good figure and flawless skin. Older women should pay attention to more discreet options - maxi bikinis.

To determine the size of a swimsuit, you need to know your own parameters. It is important to choose a product that will fit the body like a second skin, but at the same time not press or create a feeling of discomfort. Before buying, you need to measure the circumference of the chest, waist and hips.

Size	40	42–44	44–46	46–48	48–50	50–52
OG	85	89	93	97	102	107
ABOUT	90	95	100	105	110	115
FROM	65	69	74	78	83	89

It should be remembered that swimsuit sizes in the USA, Europe and China differ from those accepted in Russia. Therefore, before ordering a product online, you should familiarize yourself with the manufacturer's size chart to determine the appropriate option according to the parameters.

Popular models of revealing swimsuits

Extreme - the most erotic options, the swimsuit covers only the groin and nipples. Often, such models perform an exclusively decorative function, since they hide absolutely nothing from the eyes of others. Suitable for relaxed, open, relaxed women. The smallest swimsuits are more appropriate on a nudist beach or in a private pool.

The most popular design of transparent products is teardrop style. It consists of small pieces of fabric, shaped like droplets. One of them covers the bikini area, two - the nipples. In some cases, the elements are made of mesh fabric. Modern fashion offers several varieties of revealing swimsuits:
