American Bikinis for Independence Day

Happy Independence Day, American readers! To us Britons it’s just a wednesday, but here at Knickers we’ve taken the week off to celebrate and enjoy the summer sun. If you’re planning your summer and worrying about spending a small fortune on swimwear, look no further than American Apparel and their fabby swimwear line (UK Version). Chock full of bikini tops and bottoms, one-pieces and even outrageous lamé suits, this is a great place to find exactly what you need at an affordable price. The bikini top pictured above is just $25 in the US and £17 in the UK, with matching bottoms at about the same price. A one-piece swimsuit is around $45 or £31, and all pieces in a dizzying array of colours. It’s customizable swimwear heaven!
