Since July 5, 1946, women have been hitting the beaches and pool sides in bikinis. National Bikini Day marks the anniversary of the invention of the revealing two-piece bathing suit.
Named after the Bikini Atoll, where the United States conducted atomic tests, the two-piece bathing suit made its debut in Paris. French designer Jacques Heim wanted to name revealing bits of fabric "atom," but designer Louis Réard named his piece the "bikini" and the name stuck.

Love this question 😄 I’m definitely more of a bikini girl, but with some Virgo-level rules, of course. I like supportive tops, nothing too tiny, and bottoms that are cheeky but not microscopic. For days I feel less like showing skin (or after too many tapas in Madrid 😂), a sleek, high-cut one-piece is my go-to.
