Classic Colour Bikinis

Yes. Black reads deepest and most graphic in harsh sun, while navy keeps detail and looks softer on camera. If you photograph often, navy preserves texture and seams better than jet black.

Rinse new dark colours before first wear, avoid soaking, and dry flat in shade. Pair dark tops with dark towels or neutral cotton first 2–3 wears to minimise transfer.

Apply sunscreen and let it set 15 minutes before dressing. After wear, spot-rinse the straps and neckline, then hand-wash in cool water with gentle detergent; avoid bleach and heat.

Cool undertones: navy and blue-based reds. Warm undertones: deep black and orange-based reds. Neutral undertones: all three work; match hardware—silver for cool, gold for warm—for a cohesive look.

Yes: pick one neutral top (black or navy) and one accent (red or optic white), then add a high-waisted and a cheeky bottom. You’ll get at least four unique pairings without overpacking.
