Bikini Skirt

The bikini skirt

The idea for the modern bikini skirt probably dates back to the early twentieth century, when showing your buttocks was cause for great scandal. Today, bikini skirts cover a little less than they did before, but they still offer more modesty than a swimsuit bottom alone can provide.

Not only that, but bikini skirts can also protect your tush when sitting down at the beach. Park benches, and of course the beach itself, are covered in sand, and having something to protect your fanny from the invasion of all those granules is a smart idea.

Some bikini skirts actually resemble real mini skirts, while others are more of a wrap-type affair, like the one shown in the picture above. Bikini skirts can also add a pop of color to a solid color bikini to provide more visual sizzle.
