Unless you’re a New Yorker (guilty), black likely isn’t the most frequent color in your summer wardrobe. Kim Kardashian’s dark warm-weather looks might change your tune, though.
The 43-year-old Skims founder has been posting a slew of “hot summer” looks featuring both LBDs and LBBS (little black bikinis). While little black dresses have been a wardrobe staple for what seems like forever, the black bikini is a bit more polarizing. The color is typically thought to be universally flattering, but it’s also not the most traditional pick for hot temps and bright, tropical settings.

Kim’s simple triangle-cut bikini, however, makes a strong case for black swimwear to become the simple classic your wardrobe needs for the season and vacations beyond. It’s sleek, it’s sexy, and it will never go out of style. We’re not sure what brand she’s wearing, so we tracked down a super similar option that’s just $30 on Amazon, and thousands of shoppers love it enough to have given it a perfect rating.

Some shoppers are so fond of the swimsuit, they’ve ended up purchasing multiple. “I love this bikini so much that I have it in seven colors,” one five-star reviewer, who called it “my favorite bikini,” said on Amazon. “It’s a great price and great quality! I am a 38DD and bought a large and it fit[s] great! I love that the bottoms are adjustable.”
Others call out features that make the bathing suit feel well-made, like the padded cups and “soft and thick” material. “Quality is on point and it does not look cheap in any way,” one person wrote. “I love the adjustable sides on the bottoms without having those stupid ties that you normally have to get. The top has just enough padding (not too little, not too much). I honestly cannot love this more than I already do!”
Below are five other looks similar to Kim’s you can also get on Amazon to soak in the remaining weeks of summer, and they’re all under $30.
