We know what you're thinking. Tankinis, really? Yes, really, but these ones have a more modern look to them. Bella Hadid was one of the firsts this summer to break out her vintage tankini [1] while spending some seaside time with friends recently, and we're sure this is just the start. While the trend may be as polarizing as the comeback of low-rise jeans [2] (those are sadly making a comeback as well), we couldn't help but love the tankini trend for its nostalgic and wearable factors. You can get away with wearing your swimsuit top as a regular top and style it with shorts or a skirt. We're totally here for the versatility.
While plenty of people have always loved the tankini style for its coverage and versatility, the new iteration we're seeing now all have a fresh feel to them. Brands like Mikoh, Frankies Bikinis, and Ookioh [3] have also released tankinis in bright colours and prints. Plus, the tops come in a shorter length which makes them more flattering. While the consensus is still up on the skinny jeans debate [4], we're predicting this swimsuit rend is going to take over in 2021. Read on to shop some of our favourite selects ahead.
