The [Luna](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highquality-jewelry) Hi Mesh Swim Tank by N.L.P. speaks to the pervasiveness of 50 Shades of Grey and the mainstream makeover that kink and BDSM have received as a result of its popularity.

Staying away from the typical [beachwear aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-swim-collection) of neon colors and bright floral patterns, this subversive suit is made from a black neoprene material and features a mesh panel between the breasts. Because it's a tank and not a string bikini top, the Luna offers wearers more support without compromising on their specific style.

Black is not considered a summer shade, but there are some people who never stray from the dark side. If that describes your look, then you can't go wrong with this gothic-glam [mesh swim tank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-cups)!
