bikini body
Swimsuit-worthy figure
A bikini body is a physique considered attractive or acceptable for wearing a bikini in public, typically emphasizing a slim, toned appearance.
The term gained currency in fitness marketing and women's magazines promoting diet and exercise regimens to achieve this idealized shape.
Critics point out that the concept implies certain bodies are unsuitable for swimwear, and counter-messaging asserts that any body in a bikini is a bikini body.
