A bikini is a two-piece swimsuit designed for women, typically consisting of a top that covers the breasts and a bottom that covers the groin area. It is popular for beach outings, pool parties, and sunbathing. The bikini comes in various styles, colors, and patterns, allowing wearers to express their personal taste while enjoying the sun and water. The bikini was first introduced in 1946 by French designer Louis Réard and has since become a symbol of summer fun and body confidence. Over the years, it has evolved into many variations, including the string bikini and the high-waisted bikini, catering to different preferences and body types.
