Itsy-Bitsy Brazilian Bikini
Brazilian bikinis are bikinis with bottoms that are seductively cut, sit low on the hips, and provide half the coverage of a regular bikini. Starting out as a sexy trend in the hot, tropical climates of South America, Brazilian bikinis immediately grew in popularity and are now worn around the globe. What's great about Brazilian bikinis is that the bottom part can match with almost any kind of top.
Three main types of Brazilian bikini tops exist, and these are the triangle top, the tie top, and halter-top bikini. The Brazilian bikini triangle top consists of two triangle patches of fabric that are usually held in place with a set of string ties that reach around the back and neck. The tie top also called the Bandeau top is a sort of snug, minimal tube top, with or without center strings to tie behind the neck. Meanwhile, the halter-top is similar to the triangle style but uses slightly more material.
There are also three very popular Brazilian bikini designs that Brazilians simply love wearing. The first one is the printed Brazilian bikini featuring vibrant colors and loud patterns. The second type of Brazilian bikini is the solid Brazilian bikini that is has one solid color, be it dark, light, plain, or neon bright. Solid Brazilian bikinis are great to blend with louder fashion accessories. The last type of Brazilian bikini is the Authentic Brazilian bikini. What are these? Let's just say wearing this type of bikini requires a Brazilian Wax. Need I say more?
As the say, the French may have invented the bikini, but Brazilians keep reinventing it year by year with their flashy and fabulous designs. When one goes on a trip to any Brazilian beach, he or she is immediately fascinated with the tiny, colorful and magnificent beachwear that hang tight to golden bodies. There is such a variation of shapes, cuts, prints, and details that you wonder how it was possible to incorporate so much style and breaking fashion in such small pieces of fabric. The great thing about Brazil is that anyone can wear a bikini, whether you're a hot babe, an expecting mom, an old lady, or a teen-ager; to each her own. The important thing is everyone looks good and feels good.
Over the years, the style of the Brazilian bikini has changed. Today, Brazilian bikinis generally measure from 2-3 inches smaller than their American counterparts, in any direction. Brazilian bikini tops are significantly smaller than the American counterparts, while Brazilian bikini bottoms are cut lower at the back. Can you spell sexy? Nevertheless, if you're on the conservative side, don't fret as you may still be able to wear a Brazilian bikini called the sunkini. The sunkini is a larger version of the Brazilian bikini perfect for those who want a teeny-weeny more coverage.
Remember that the size of Brazilian bikinis is generally smaller than in North America, because South American women tend to have a smaller build. Of course, as with any clothing, sizing also depends largely on the manufacturer. It's best to try on first the Brazilian bikini of your fancy or measure it before purchasing.
