Fashion People Who Live in Miami Swear By "Minimal Tan Line" Bikinis—29 Styles They'd Love
I've taken quite a few trips to Miami over the years, and one thing I've noticed about the bikinis people tend to pack is that the barely-there styles reign supreme. For good reason, everyone is trying to come home with the perfect tan to show off. Tiny triangle tops, string bikinis, and bandeaus continue to dominate the city's swimwear scene because everyone wants to get their tan on.
We have officially entered peak summer mode, which requires a uniform of bikinis, sandals, and not much else. If you find yourself constantly seeking as much sun as possible, you want a swimsuit that will allow for the maximum amount of sun exposure. In other words, you're going to need a barely-there bikini. If you are concerned about tan lines when sunbathing, the swimsuits ahead are guaranteed to give you minimal tan lines to match the swimsuit you're about to buy.
Tan lines aside, I know they are neither a priority nor a possibility for everyone, but this tiny bikini shape is one that has entered the trend circuit and proven its rightful place among the classic bikini styles of the world. I was just using the idea of tan lines to prove how little material there actually is on these suits. This summer, embrace your body and show it off via one of the 29 bikinis ahead, from triangle shapes to thongs. Prepare to see some of the best swimsuits for sunbathing ahead.
