A bikini is a two-piece swimsuit that typically consists of a bra-like top and a bottom that covers the navel and part of the hips. The bikini was introduced in 1946 by French designer Louis Réard, who named it after Bikini Atoll, the site of nuclear weapon tests in the Pacific Ocean. The bikini was initially considered scandalous and provocative, but it gradually gained acceptance and popularity as a symbol of women’s liberation and fashion. Today, bikinis are worn by women of all ages, shapes and sizes, and they come in a variety of styles, colors and materials. Some of the most common types of bikinis are the triangle bikini, the halter bikini, the bandeau bikini, the string bikini, the high-waisted bikini and the tankini.
