Midnight Mirage

The "Midnight Mirage" swimsuit, a design that doesn't hold back on the black, is a one-piece that goes in for the kill. If the black wasn't enough, the silhouette is form-clinging. The cut, meanwhile, is high enough to make legs that aren't necessarily long look as if they need never end. Thus the physical facts, but there's more to the Midnight Mirage than just the way it takes up room. The one-shoulder strap has the kind of asymmetry that always seems modern, and the mesh inserts are the kind of transparency that always seems risqué. The mesh inserts are especially well placed, being around the bust and waist. These are not areas for the modest. The stitching throughout is not just clean but integrated, so that the whole thing looks like it might have been made by a single weaver. It all adds up to a swimsuit that is as much for being seen in as it is for swimming. The Midnight Mirage may well have more poolside life than you do.
