About Bikini Swimwear
The collection posts carry the product story. Rica Swimwear Collection 2013 presents a season's range — its photograph is carried in the Photos section below — and Cheryl Burke in Lisa Blue Pink Bikini covers an Australian swim label worn by a dancer. Jogo by Pooneh Gives To Great Charitable Causes is the values entry: a swimwear brand built around charitable giving, a post this index shares with the beach index. The celebrity and news posts — Jessica Lowndes, Alessandra Ambrosio Spotted On Beach Wearing KITSCH, the Hawaiin Tropic Bikini Contest Ending notice, and an Apparel Search news article about Annalynne McCord Wearing Bettinis Bikinis — show how swimwear reaches most readers, through photographs and events rather than catalogs.
As a garment, the bikini is a two-piece swimsuit, and its variations are structural: top styles include triangle, bandeau, halter and underwire shapes, and bottoms range from tie-side to high-waisted cuts, all made in quick-drying stretch fabrics that resist chlorine and salt water. Fit is the practical heart of bikini shopping — tops and bottoms are often sold separately precisely so each can be sized on its own — and the women's bikini guide linked above covers the styles in depth. Readers who want the wider swim wardrobe will find swimwear, bandeau, beaded swimwear, one-piece swimsuit, cover-up and beachwear pages in the topic block below.
Retail practice underlines the fit point: because tops and bottoms are sold as separates in most ranges, a shopper can pair a larger top with a smaller bottom or mix colors and prints between pieces. Seasonal collections like the Rica range in these posts are usually sold both ways — as matched sets for the catalog photograph and as separates at the rail — and end-of-season swim sales are where the separates system shows its value, since remaining stock rarely survives in matched pairs.

Common Questions
What bikini blog posts are collected here?
Six blog posts plus a news article: Jessica Lowndes and Cheryl Burke swimwear posts, Alessandra Ambrosio wearing KITSCH on the beach, the Rica Swimwear Collection 2013, Jogo by Pooneh's charitable swimwear, the Hawaiian Tropic contest notice, and Annalynne McCord Wearing Bettinis Bikinis.
What styles of bikini tops are there?
The main structural styles are triangle tops, bandeau tops, halter tops and underwire tops, with bottoms sold from tie-side to high-waisted cuts. Tops and bottoms are commonly sold separately so each piece can be fitted independently — the women's bikini guide linked above explains the styles.
What fabric are bikinis made from?
Bikinis are made from quick-drying stretch swim fabrics, usually nylon or polyester blended with elastane, chosen to hold shape in water and to resist chlorine and salt. Lined cups and secure closures are the construction details that matter most in wear.
