The classic white bikini.
It's a holiday staple that compliments all skin tones and is especially perfect for a honeymoon (or pre wedding getaway with your best girls).
Any excuse to embrace / prolong the bridal vibes, right?

Get ready to feast your eyes on 40 of the most gorgeous white bikinis to suit every body shape and budget!
Featuring a huge variety of styles from classic (halter-neck bikini from Seafolly) to sporty (90s inspired high neck bikini from Bond) to sexy (barely there, criss crossed Mikoh bikini) and bohemian – this lacy bikini by For Love and Lemons is high up there on my wish list.
But first, let's take a little look at why the white bikini is so darn chic.
Iconic White Bikinis
Famous white bikini wearers include Bridgette Bardot, who is said to have popularised the daring new form of swimwear thanks to her skimpy white, two piece in the 1952 film ‘The Girl In The Bikini'.
Then there's the familiar image of Grace Kelly sat cross legged on a stripy beach towel, looking demurely at the camera in a high waisted, bandeau number with perfectly coiffed hair (as per usual).

Retro Bandeau Bikini A'La Grace Kelly
I'm a big fan of bandeau bikinis as there's no need to worry about tan lines while you're sunbathing.
Often the reserve of small busted ladies, I was so pleased to find this beautiful, retro bandeau bikini by Swimsuits For All available in US sizes 8-34.
(Your welcome.)
The Ultimate White Bikini
Oh and we can't mention white bikinis without picturing Bond girl, Ursula Andress, emerging like a bronzed goddess from the sea in her iconic push up bikini.

Ursula Andress Style Bikini
Channel your inner Ursula Andress in this sexy white bikini by Kamila available at ShopBop. (But we recommend losing the dagger belt as that's just an accident waiting to happen!)
A halter-neck top, fuller coverage brief and ruched details make for one super flattering bikini, don't you think?
Truth be told, this is the first time I've come across Kamila swimwear but I've already fallen pretty hard for their feminine silhouettes (you'll see more of my fave designs below).
