Swimwear has a unique history and a path that has taken it to where it is today. As the years pass, the designs change and the sizes get smaller. One design that continues to gain popularity over time is the American flag bikini and there is good reason for this popularity.
The bikini itself is a statement but when it holds the design of the United States flag it becomes an even bigger statement. Some people may see it as purely a symbol of sex but many people view this as a sign of patriotism and national pride in today's world. Not everyone can carry a flag around with them all of the time - especially to the beach or pool. A much easier way to show off your patriotism during summer or on vacation is to wear a flag on your swimwear or with an U.S. flag bikini.
Many people have seen the image of Sarah Palin in an American flag bikini while holding a rifle. This image made some individuals proud and angered others. No matter which stance you hold, the image was a fake. While Palin was the runner-up in the Miss Alaska beauty pageant in 1984, the picture was created with photoshop. The cut Palin's head off of one image and pasted it onto a photo of a young lady in an American flag bikini. Despite this, the photo still turns heads today.
Many other notable women have modeled similar bikinis, though. Jessica Simpson, Heidi Montag, and Cindy Crawford come to mind.
The designs of the swimsuits vary between designers but they all have a common theme. Some have both the stars and the stripes. Some designers mix it up and create some interesting designs. One thing is for sure. If you are shopping for swimwear you can't go wrong with an American flag bikini. It's hard to beat something that is stylish, sexy, and patriotic in one package.
