This time of year is filled with anticipation for summer-specific events: the first barbecue, the first ice cream, the first sea swim, and with it, the first outing in a bikini. By now, you’ve probably already trawled through your favourite fashion sites seeking the perfect set to make your beachwear debut.

But before you get swept up in a fresh trend or a rainbow of colours, I’m here to tell you that your hunt for a chic bikini is simpler than you think. Bear with me while I explain why investing in a minimal black bikini is the smartest use of your swimwear budget.

First of all, black looks good on everyone. Not only that, but it also makes everyone look elegant in an effortless, “I just threw this on” kind of way. It’s also easy to pair with other colours, so if you plan on tying a sarong around your waist or wearing shorts as you lounge at the pool or on the sand, you won’t have any trouble matching them to your swimsuit: this is where you can have some fun with colours and prints.
