Black is the one that always works. It does not date, it does not clash with anything you throw over it, and it is the safest first designer swimsuit to own — which is exactly why most women buy a black bikini before they buy a colourful one.
Kate Kingdom makes two bikinis with black in them, both designed near Zurich and produced in limited editions rather than mass-manufactured.
Two black bikinis, side by side
Which black bikini suits you?
The Talasa is the plain black classic: a high-cut triangle string top with a 90s feel, cheeky at the back, made with double fabric. The Rose Gold set is the versatile one — it comes with two tops, so you can wear the rose gold on its own or layer the black top over it and have a black bikini whenever you want one.
Black bikini, black swimsuit or black bathing suit?
People search for this in different ways — a black bikini, a black swimsuit, a black bathing suit or simply black swimwear. Both pieces on this page give you black, one plain and one as part of a two-in-one set.
Fabric, sizes and care
The fabrics are light, soft to the touch and stretch with the body rather than against it. They dry quickly and hold their shape after salt water and sun. Available in sizes S to L. Rinse in cold water after swimming and dry flat, out of direct sunlight.
