For a newbie in bikini, a plain black one is the best choice ever! You will definitely look hot but yet very subtle and blended in the crowd. Also, can easily wear it underneath a baggy top.
I recently went to the beach and got a tan but realised that bikini like this one works best coz it would not show the bikini straps. u will have a perfect tan with this.
Absolutely need a pair of these without the straps to the shoulders. so that the tanning session can cover all parts without leaving behind those strappy areas.
