The Little Black Bikini

The little black bikini should be a staple of every woman’s wardrobe, just like the little black dress. It works well for the same reasons - it’s slimming, it looks good when you’re tan or when you’re pale, it doesn’t show stains, it looks timeless in photographs...the list goes on.
