When it comes to swimwear there’s no shortage of cuts, shapes, colours and designs available, but if there’s one variation that’ll never go out of style it's a simple strappy black bikini. Universally flattering, understated and timeless, it's an absolute essential in your swimwear collection, and is easy to pair with anything and everything.

If your bathing suit selection is lacking in the simple black bikini department, take some shopping advice from Molly-Mae Hague, who thinks she’s found “the best” one out there. Sharing a snap on her Instagram stories, the former Love Island star donned the SKIMSRcycld Swim Tri Top, , and the matching Rcycld Chky Tanga Btm, , as she raved about the two piece set.

In her post, Molly-Mae wrote: “I found the best black strappy bikini! I will have this on all summer, I wear a size L for reference.” as she shared a picture of herself styling the minimalist swimsuit with a pair of wide leg black trousers and a denim Miu Miu cowboy hat, . The bikini is made from 76% recycled nylon, and has an classic fit that suits all body types.

Just like SKIMS’ shapewear, the swimwear range has been designed to give you a figure-enhancing fit that flatters your shape. The bottoms have a simple slip-on design with a mid rise waistband and high leg tanga cut sides, whilst the addition of tonal top stitching gives them a subtle luxe-looking edge.

The top has matching topstitching, with classic triangle cups and a regular fit, with self-tie fastenings at the back and around the neck. This style of tie-back bikini also allows you to switch up how you wear it, with plenty of TikTok videos showing you different ways to fasten the straps to either improve support, avoid tan lines, or just give it a different look each time you wear it.

If you prefer a little more coverage with your bikini, particularly on the bottom, Pour Moi’s Sydney High-Waist High Leg Bikini Brief, , has a high waisted design that sits on your waist, with high-rise legs that elongates your legs for a flattering fit. It also has a hidden tummy control panel which helps smooth and sculpt your figure, making you feel more confident.

And good news – the simple, chic black design means you can pair it with any style of bikini top, whether you want to snap up Molly-Mae’s strappy SKIMS one or want to mix and match with a bold print like leopard or zebra.

If you want something of a bikini-style look but don’t want to commit to a full two-piece, Boux Avenue’s Cyprus Super Push Up Swimsuit, , manages to balance the overall look of a bikini with the coverage of a swimsuit thanks to its cut out details. The strappy design on the waist and back helps bare some skin whilst still covering up, and it has adjustable straps and extra padding to give you plenty of lift and support, making it extra flattering.

Chic, timeless and flattering – we all need a little black bikini in our suitcase this summer!
