Super Bowl Outfit planning is tough when your team isn’t in it—do you go stubborn and wear your jersey anyway, like you did throughout the playoffs?

The bikini was created/first appeared at a poolside fashion show in Paris on July 5, 1946. The then shockingly skimpy design, dubbed the bikini after the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, took twenty-plus years to really catch on … and now we’ve moved to even more shockingly-skimpy designs with the prevalence of thong bikinis (remember…
