ICYMI: One of the biggest swimsuit trends of summer 2022 is high-cut bikinis and one-pieces. The style was ubiquitous in the ‘80s and the nostalgia is palpable.
It’s no surprise that the look is back again. Whether it’s slip dresses reminiscent of the ‘90s or low-rise pants from the early aughts, the fashion industry is constantly bringing back looks that were made popular decades ago. Thong bathing suits are also very much in at the moment, another trend that took hold in the ‘80s.
As of late, Instagram and TikTok feeds have been flooded with leggy, Malibu Barbie-esque swim looks featuring hip-high briefs. Brands like Emily Ratajkowski’s Inamorata, celeb-fave Solid & Striped, and Kim Kardashian’s Skims are all releasing their take on the throwback style.
Naturally, celebrities are already wearing the look. Dua Lipa showed off a dreamy, high-cut thong bikini recently and Lizzo tried the trend as well. So, hop on the bandwagon and rock a retro swimsuit this summer. You won’t regret it. Ahead, shop 24 styles that will make your legs look long as hell.
