Why choose a black swimsuit?
If the black swimsuit recalls luxury and stylistic purity, it also has undeniable assets, of which here is a small preview.
A decidedly flattering swimsuit
Black is the most flattering color for feminine lines. While this shade enhances your curves, it also flatters your complexion. Whether you are blonde, redhead or brunette and whether your complexion is tanned, ivory or ebony, by contrast, black highlights both the complexion and the hair.
By absorbing the light, the black swimsuit enhances the line. By focusing on the cut of your dreams, you will undoubtedly show off your most beautiful, uninhibited gait this summer.
The black swimsuit, infinitely chic
While color alone is not enough to guarantee an elegant look and it is essential to pay particular attention to the cut of your swimsuit, black is the very embodiment of refined sobriety.
This color has elegantly slipped into women's wardrobes and occupies a prominent place in all collections, year after year...
A chameleon swimsuit
Black is a shade that suits all styles. Whether you have a classic style or prefer a more elegant look, or whether your look is more casual or more assertive: the black swimsuit is a real chameleon.
The black swimsuit, an overview of its different variations
You've understood, " black is always a good idea " but your choice doesn't stop there. At ICONE, the black swimsuit is available and revealed in different forms.
The one-piece swimsuit
Stylistic purity and elegance meet and merge in the black one-piece swimsuit . And it has never been more trendy than it is today.
The common thread of the Parisian house ICONE? Allowing you to wear pieces in which you feel free to move, regardless of what others think. Second-skin swimsuits that will gracefully reveal the sublime curves of your body, to the point of overshadowing what, as a woman, you consider to be small flaws.
At ICONE, black one-piece swimsuits adapt to all body shapes so as to highlight all body types. First in terms of cut with pretty openings, asymmetrical cuts, plunging necklines, thin or wide straps and cleverly designed cutouts.
The Parisian house also stands out for its delicate and elegant finishes: from sublime pleats to resin pearls, a belt to highlight the waist...
The possibilities are endless to allow you to feel comfortable and free to expose your femininity in all its splendor and power.
The two-piece swimsuit
Many women are afraid to face their image in a two-piece swimsuit and do not know which cut to choose.
If there is one piece of advice to remember, one rule to follow: feel free to wear whatever you want.
Women with a small chest will prefer a bikini top that covers the chest, making sure that it does not flatten the bust. For this, we advise you to opt for a black triangle or bandeau swimsuit .
On the contrary, women with generous busts will feel enhanced in models that combine ideal comfort, enhanced curves and optimal support. Balconette or basket models, often accompanied by underwires, are an excellent option.
Like the top of the swimsuit, the bottom of the swimsuit should be mainly selected for the comfort and ease it offers you. The goal is to feel good in your body, no matter the time of day. Indeed, bikini bottoms remain an essential part of the female wardrobe. Whether you wear them during a pool outing with friends or during an afternoon at the beach, for a swimming session or sunbathing: they adapt to all situations. Easy to put on, they can be more or less low-cut depending on your tastes and desires.
The high-waisted swimsuit is riding the summer trend. A perfect blend of vintage reminiscences and contemporary elegance, it continues to gain new fans. Its high waist refines the curves of the body and offers a second-skin effect for optimal comfort. Try it and adopt it, and that's a good thing because it can be combined with a triangle swimsuit top, a bandeau or even a crop top.
The thousand and one variations of the ICONE black swimsuit
A true manifesto for bold women in search of effortlessness, the world of ICONE combines iconic models and ultra-modern cuts without any compromise on comfort.
ICONE's signature stylistic purity
ICONE swimsuits hug feminine curves for a second-skin effect. For the designer, women must be free to move. The swimwear piece must merge with your silhouette and enhance it.
The thousand and one materials of the black swimsuit
It is as a true virtuoso of styling that the designer Marion Toccacieli composes with materials, prints and cuts.
At the origin of the Parisian house, a question: "How can we offer the best in swimwear and women's ready-to-wear while considerably reducing our carbon footprint?"
In other words, the creator of ICONE wanted to revolutionize the world of fashion, both in the choice of materials and artisans, and in the design of cuts specially imagined for 21st century women.
And materials, precisely, are of particular importance for the Parisian house. A true French address, ICONE highlights French know-how with pieces made from French bath fabric. Between exceptional skills and textures, ICONE French jacquard bath pieces stand out as a true emblem of the house's expertise.
A fan of recycled materials, the designer of ICONE makes her swimwear with a polyester fiber made from plastic waste collected in the oceans: SEAQUAL, the ultimate eco-friendly fiber. Available in a wide variety of sizes and finishes, SEAQUAL fiber can either be used 100% in ecru or yarn-dyed, or mixed with natural fibers. It is this diversity that has allowed our creative team to develop the ideal designs for our swimwear fabrics.
Add to that the perfect touch of elastane for perfectly fitted pieces, and you get ultra-feminine pieces with perfect cuts that adapt to all silhouettes and desires.
How to accessorize your black swimsuit?
