A few months ago, a couple of friends and I had a mini-debate regarding the origin of the bikini. Was it really named after Bikini Atoll? Or was it named strategically bikini to indicate two pieces?

Take a look: Time's The History of the Bikini -- really interesting.

There are many options for women's swimwear - or tanwear if you aren't keen on getting wet. One pieces, tankinis, bikinis, monokinis, the recent burqini to name a few. Just taking the 'bikini' category there are bandeau tops, string tops, push-ups; for bottoms, you can choose a bikini cut, high-waisted (think: retro), brazilian (think: cheeky).

I recently purchased a white bandeau top in hope of looking tanner (skin color contrast with the white was the idea).

Which type are you wearing this season?
