Scarf Swimsuit Trend For 2020

Meet 2020's Most Stylish Swimwear Trend: the Handkerchief Bikini

Meet the handkerchief bikini: we guarantee it will be one of 2020's biggest swimwear trends. The nostalgic scarf silhouette first made it's way on to the fashion scene in the '70s. Since then, the bandana style has made a huge comeback with brands like Solid & Striped designing enviable pieces that have a modern twist. The thing that we love the most about this swimsuit trend is that it can be worn two ways. Not only will you look cute by the pool — and you will be able to take adorable pictures in it — but you can easily style the top after a dip in the water for a night out. (TBH, I would wear half of these bikinis tops for a night out and not even to the beach because they're that cute!) All you have to do is style the top with a pair of mom jeans and strappy heels for drinks with friends or pair it with a silk slip skirt for a date night with your SO. Ahead, shop some of our favourite selects if you're inspired to give the two-piece a try.
