We New Yorkers may love wearing all black year-round, but in the summer, we shed our dark layers in favor of bold, fun-colored bikinis and patterned swimwear as we head on vacation. I'm all for a fun bikini, but after spending two weeks in Mallorca, Spain, I'm ditching my worn-in swimsuits for a sleek black bikini.
On the shores of Deià, Palma, and nearly every cool girl approved beach club on the Mallorcan coast, European women from France, Italy, and Spain are all wearing minimalistic black string bikinis. While this trend looks incredibly expensive, you'd be shocked to find out it can come in under $50—a full set ringing in at just $35, to be exact.
Below, shop a few affordable black bikinis that European women everywhere are flinging into their carry-on luggage this spring. Plus, browse styling inspiration and look at a few luxe bikinis too.
