During a recent conversation, my friend (who wears black exclusively) expressed that it is surprisingly difficult to find a black bikini. Most are embellished with metal, plastic, stone, beading, or jewel accents to add oomph to the simplicity of the design and color. Always up for a challenge, I set out to find black bikinis that rely on fabric and construction to make their designs unique and interesting.<\/p>

All the two-pieces below are shown in, or available in, black fabric.<\/p>

Retro Black<\/strong><\/p>

The cut, draping, and fabric appliques up the ante on the little black bikini.<\/p>

Affordable and Chic<\/strong>
Victoria’s Secret offers chic selection for under $40. Look for details such as stitching and side ties to make your black bikini more interesting.<\/p>

Look to the bottom for details<\/strong><\/p>

Two-piece suits tend to emphasize the top but these suits add interesting details to the bikini bottom, such as delicate tassles and sassy ruching.<\/p>

Construction<\/strong><\/p>

The construction of the top makes this my favorite by far.<\/p>

Just for Fun <\/strong><\/p>

The design is too clean and the fabric too luxurious to let a teeny, tiny metallic detail (that can easily be taken off with a stitch remover) get in the way of Ondademar<\/a>’s hot black two-piece.<\/p>
