Bikinis are very versatile – odds are you’ll find one to suit your taste and reflect your individuality without much effort. One of the most popular ways designers add detail to bikini tops and bikini bottoms is by adding beads. Some bikinis have a few large beads on the strings, others have intricate patterns of small beads stitched along the fabric. In either case, beaded bikinis are always popular – particularly with younger women.
Some beaded bikinis are simple, such as the Bursano Rose String Bikini from Diane von Furstenberg – it’s an ordinary string bikini, with two large acrylic beads at the top of each cup and at the end of the strings on the bikini bottom. Other beaded bikinis are more flashy, for example Anika Brazil’s Mother-of-Pearl Triangle Bikini in regal purple with mother of pearl beaded leather insets on the sides. Also, there are beaded bikinis with more ornate detail, like ChloÈ’s Matelasse Triangle Bikini in white. The Matelasse has faux pearl trim along the top edge of the cups. Other designers with interesting beaded bikinis include DKNY, BCBG Max Azria, Vix, Gottex and Marc Jacobs.
Shopping for a beaded bikini online is easy – but it pays to know what you’re looking for so visit a few high street shops or department stores near you to choose a style and designer that suits you best. This will also give you a chance to get familiar with the quality of the detailing on the designer beaded bikini of your choice – making it easier to spot a fake. Always make your online purchases from a shop with clear return policies, so you can exchange your suit should you need to. And, be sure to choose online merchants who offer a guarantee of quality and authenticity on the beaded bikinis they sell.
