What is an appropriate age to allow a teenager to wear a bikini?

A child's parents should determine the appropriate age for their daughter to wear a bikini style swimsuit, according to Today's Parent. A correct or proper age to start wearing a bikini bathing suit does not exist. As long as the child and parents agree on an age, it's fine.

Different cultures have varying opinions regarding the style of swimwear worn by young girls. People raised in more conservative families with strict religious beliefs may disapprove of their daughter wearing a bikini before she reaches adulthood. Other parents, born into families that possess less strict values, may not have the same concerns about the type of swimwear worn by their daughter.
