タンガ (tanga) is a type of swimwear that originated in Brazil. It is characterized by its minimal coverage, featuring a narrow back and a high-cut design that emphasizes the hips and legs. The style is popular in beach culture and is often associated with sunbathing and swimming. The term "タンガ" can also refer to a specific type of underwear that shares a similar design. This style is favored for its comfort and the way it minimizes visible panty lines. Both forms of タンガ are popular in various fashion contexts, especially in warm climates and during summer activities.
