On July 5th, the annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/this-day-in-history\/bikini-introduced\">National Bikini Day<\/a> celebrates the invention of the swimwear style in 1946. And reminds us to remind you why every woman should wear a bikini, even if it is not your thing, just once you really should give it a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its current popularity, it was not always an accepted option for swimwear.&nbsp;Some records show bikini-like two pieces dating back to ancient rome. But, it was not officially debuted until the 1946 date by Louis R\u00e9ard in Paris, France.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoriaGirlsbeach-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"937\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoriaGirlsbeach-1-937x1024.png\" alt=\"Vintage photo women in swimwear and bikini\" class=\"wp-image-87435\" style=\"width:525px;height:573px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoriaGirlsbeach-1-937x1024.png 937w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoriaGirlsbeach-1-275x300.png 275w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoriaGirlsbeach-1-768x839.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoriaGirlsbeach-1.png 1402w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@museumsvictoria?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Museums Victoria<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/backgrounds\/art\/vintage?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-history-of-the-bikini\"><em><strong>History of the Bikini<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The midriff was an obscenity for decades, making the revolution of the bikini slow. It was seen as scandalous and incredibly revealing for its lack of fabric. European countries were the first to adopt the two-piece swimwear after the end of World War II, European designers such as R\u00e9ard trying to relate to the feelings of freedom the people were experiencing. The design took the name bikini, after the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bikini_Atoll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bikini Atoll<\/a>, and the nuclear tests which took place there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/guilty-pleasures\/casegoods\/tamara-mirror.php?utm_source=LH_Blog_Article&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=Banner_Article&amp;utm_content=tamara_mirror\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ext-campaign\/article\/kk-tamara-mirror-1.jpg\" alt=\"tamara mirror koket luxury home decor\" style=\"width:500px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Europe embraced the string and triangle cloth design, and its popularity grew immensely. The United States was much more conservative in accepting the revealing design, and it did not gain popularity until the 1960s. The rise of the American beach and surf culture then grew in popularity, and the youth movement made the bikini commonplace in the cultural revolution of the 60s and 70s.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoria-beachphoto.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoria-beachphoto-1024x706.png\" alt=\"Vintage photo women and a man in swimwear and bikinis\" class=\"wp-image-87433\" style=\"width:687px;height:474px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoria-beachphoto-1024x706.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoria-beachphoto-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoria-beachphoto-768x529.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoria-beachphoto-1536x1059.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MuseumsVictoria-beachphoto-2048x1412.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@museumsvictoria?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Museums Victoria<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/backgrounds\/art\/vintage?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.missuniverse.com\/\">Miss Universe<\/a> pageant is one which helped push the swimsuit evolution forward, its first competition taking place in 1952. Its swimsuit category was meant to assess a woman\u2019s physical traits. Although many attempted to ban the category, the pageant competitors rejected these attempts and continued to wear smaller and smaller bikinis for the competition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The swimsuit competition still exists, but today the category is seen as a form of women empowerment. Today, the bikinis used in competition have not necessarily gotten smaller, but they now aim to showcase the woman\u2019s character and traditions of their own culture. Through new design choices and inspiration, the range of bikini styles has grown immensely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jason-blackeye-pzLLPfaaHN8-unsplash-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jason-blackeye-pzLLPfaaHN8-unsplash-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Woman in bikini and holding straw hat\" class=\"wp-image-87437\" style=\"width:442px;height:553px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jason-blackeye-pzLLPfaaHN8-unsplash-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jason-blackeye-pzLLPfaaHN8-unsplash-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jason-blackeye-pzLLPfaaHN8-unsplash-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jason-blackeye-pzLLPfaaHN8-unsplash-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jason-blackeye-pzLLPfaaHN8-unsplash-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/jason-blackeye-pzLLPfaaHN8-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@jeisblack?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Jason Blackeye<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/bikini-beach?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-why-every-woman-should-celebrate-bikini-day\"><strong><em>Why Every Woman Should Celebrate Bikini Day<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite many attempted bans and societal disapproval, the bikini has faced its trials and has now become a pivotal part of summer fashion. With options on every end of the price range, bikinis are a fashion piece that every woman can take part in. With endless style choices, the swimsuit industry has never been more inclusive and catered to a woman feeling her most confident.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By taking back our own liberation and freedom as women, we take the power away from degradation and discrimination and we push past the patriarchal ideals that once looked down on women for showing \u201ctoo much skin\u201d. And by viewing the bikini as a form of empowerment, we give women around the world a device with which to express themselves and their beauty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, every woman should pick out their favorite bikini for National Bikini Day, and wear it with confidence. Inspire confidence in others, and remind yourself that you are a powerful, strong and beautiful woman, no matter what you are wearing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some of our favorite luxurious bikinis to spice up your summer! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:33% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/us.burberry.com\/check-trim-triangle-bikini-p80107701?istCompanyId=564e1513-f47e-4b67-be63-f610234165ed&amp;istFeedId=8cf3583f-d329-465d-b0c6-94f120d80dba&amp;istItemId=wqlqaqamw&amp;istBid=t&amp;pla=true&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw44mlBhAQEiwAqP3eVlhNgGe8oGEtYI3TUj48RsiGSIISbecWjxTppabYycMVICnPq_hV4hoC2QsQAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bg-loew-bikini-684x1024.jpg\" alt=\"bg loewe bikini for bikini day 2024\" class=\"wp-image-101069 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bg-loew-bikini-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bg-loew-bikini-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bg-loew-bikini-768x1150.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bg-loew-bikini.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-loewe\">Loewe<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-stripe-wrap-bikini\"><strong><em>Stripe Wrap Bikini<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sovrn.co\/1epassp\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHOP<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:33% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fendi.com\/us-en\/8057712359232.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw44mlBhAQEiwAqP3eVkMGpP3Uj1xzFI6Nj9MW7G5-vwqt6uLTMan8AJUlbS9JOCjBmyd63RoC2qYQAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"684\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/johanna-ortiz-bikini-684x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-101071 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/johanna-ortiz-bikini-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/johanna-ortiz-bikini-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/johanna-ortiz-bikini-768x1150.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/johanna-ortiz-bikini.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-johanna-ortiz\">JOHANNA ORTIZ<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-visionary-arts-embroidered-bikini\"><strong><em>Visionary Arts Embroidered Bikini<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sovrn.co\/puu0yk4\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHOP<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:33% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/modesens.com\/s\/Q51\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/DG-Bikini.png\" alt=\"Dolce &amp;
