The closest style to the original bikini, invented in 1946, the French bikini is a style that refers to the cut of the bottoms. They go higher up on the hip than other styles. |
Notice that, unlike the French cut, the string bikini bottoms are much lower waisted. Also, the top and bottom have tied strings instead of a band of fabric. |
The halter top goes around the back of the neck instead of over the shoulder. This is a very popular style and is very flattering to most bodies. |
The tankini is great if you're not willing to show your midsection. With two separate pieces, the tankini offers full body coverage. |
The bottoms of the shorts bikini aren't shaped so much like the other bikini bottoms, hence the name. |
