Look Hot in the Best Bikini Swimwear

While the bikini may seem like the most popular choice among all swimwear today, it actually caused quite a stir when it first made its appearance in France during 1947. The French designer, Louis Reard, was at first responsible for turning the designer swimwear world upside down and bringing about a worldwide controversy. In fact, these relatively risque bikini swimsuits were donned only by the brave or more daring as they often made themselves targets of ogling eyes or rude stares. Even some of the top swimwear fashion models of the time turned their noses at these new bikini swimsuits . "The French girls can wear them if they want to, but I still don't approve of them on American girls," exclaimed the highly regarded 1940's and 1950's fashion icon Bebe Shopp.

Yet flash forward to today and the first early emerging bikini swimwear seems tame, if not almost mundane. Now the world of designer swimwear would be left without one of its most lucrative markets should it be devoid of the bikini, and over the years as they have grown in popularity they seem to have conversely shrunken in size! There are now multiple variants on the bikini design to be found at Simply Beach, with some that are mere triangles swatches of fabric, others that are cut with a halter up top, some with boy cut briefs, and those that are strapless. Further, the bikini has been morphed into tankinis, designer swimwear with a sort of tank top, and even in some instances when made with a camisole top can be dubbed a camikini!

The world of bikini swimwear has thus expanded not only across the globe, but to other arenas as well. Bikinis are not only used for the purpose of basking under the sun at the beach, but in numerous sports and competitions as well. Beach volleyball sure wouldn't look the same without bikini swimwear, and even Track and Field has incorporated the bikini into it's uniforms. Whether your bikini swimwear from Simply Beach comes in a daring pattern, a fun colour, or adorned with ruffles, be thankful that its evolution from shunned taboo to common wear has occurred so you can look absolutely fabulous wearing yours!

Okay, so you've already happily embraced the fact that putting on that stellar bikini swimwear is a luxury of the evolving times, but how do you find the perfect suit for you? Well luckily at Simply Beach you can find a wide array of not only designer swimwear labels, but styles, cuts, colours, patterns, and much more! Gone are the days when you were stuck with only one option or two , Simply Beach has all of your bikini swimwear needs covered!

The key is to find a bikini that suits your individual shape and taste so that you will have the confidence to rock what you've got! For those of us that may be a bit smaller on top, you will want to select something that will give you a bit of a lift to create the illusion of more fullness. This would include bikini swimwear that has a little padding up top, even one that has a push up bra effect, and a top with adjustable straps so you can cinch it as tight as you need to. The Milan Padded Plunge Bikini Top from Fantasie is one great choice, as it not only comes with an under wire but the attractive print will also enhance your bust line. Yet if you are looking to draw attention away from your bust, you will want to find a bikini top that is not in a busy pattern and instead opt for a solid colour. Further, you will want to be sure to find one that gives you all the support you need to feel comfortable as you move around. Bikini swimwear that comes in a halter top style is ideal for this, as in the Phax Rita Mini Chips Halter Bikini.

For the more slender and athletic types, you can create those enviable curves by pairing a bikini top and bottom with a striking pattern or colour; the added details will make a more defined waistline. Also, by choosing a bikini with a belt or ruffles around the waist you will play up a more feminine side and draw attention to your hips, as in the Freya Supernova Bikini Short. To detract from a fuller bottom you can instead pick out bikini swimwear that is in a darker colour and one that is either cut in a boy short style or one of the newer bikini skirts, like the Seafolly Matt Separates Skirted Pant.

If you have slender hips and broader shoulders, you can do well to select a designer swimwear piece that compliments your lean legs and gives you the support you need up top. Pair a more vibrantly coloured bikini brief with a darker top like the Seafolly Lava Lounge Hipster Tie Side Pant with a black bikini top. Conversely, if your shoulders are smaller and your hips a bit wider, you will go with a bikini top that is more eye catching and a solid colour for the bottoms. A great top for this is the Aguaclara Leopard Knots Bandeau. Finally, those with the classic hourglass figure are lucky in that most every designer swimwear label will look great on you! Find something fun and flirty that compliments your own personal style!

Doing squats and lunges will give your booty a lift and lean out those lower limbs, and good old fashioned push ups and biceps curls are great for giving arms their definition. If you're a bit less than ecstatic about your middle, you can choose to go with a longer tankini for a bit more coverage, but you can firm up your centre with some crunches and plank exercises. To do a plank, you will balance on your elbows and the tips of your toes, hovering parallel over the ground. Pull in your abs, and contract your booty, making sure your back is flat and hold this position for 30 seconds working your way up to three sets.
