microkini

Extreme beach attire

A microkini is an extremely minimal bikini that covers only the genitals and nipples, leaving most of the body exposed.

The garment typically consists of tiny triangular patches connected by thin strings or straps.

Microkinis are worn for sunbathing, at adult venues, or for erotic photography: She wore a microkini that left almost nothing to the imagination.
