Looking at celebrities basking in the sunshine on their recent slew of exotic holidays has reminded me of a couple of things. 1) That I need to replenish my supply of dental floss when I’m next at Tesco, and 2) that it’s good to get out of your leggings and knitwear once in a while and embrace something… skimpy. And what could be skimpier than a barely-there, string bikini?

That’s right; stylish stars have been casting aside their Baywatch-esque high-leg cossies in favour of teeny triangle bikinis—the sort that dominated every beach, poolside, and popular music video in the ‘90s. And you know what? I might join them.

A few years ago, I found my swimwear comfort zone in the retro, high-waist bikinis—the sort that covers my belly button and provides me with the added support across my hips that I was looking for. But this year, as my first abroad holiday in over two years approaches, I’m not going to take being able to wear a minuscule bikini for granted. Life’s too short, and I’m over being hung up on my insecurities. Sure, there’s a risk of spillage, especially when you have a bigger bust as I do, but I think it’s worth it. So, I’m taking a leaf out of J.Lo, Dua Lipa, and Hailey Bieber’s collective books by embracing the string triangle bikini trend.

Another commonality is that all of the said bikinis are made in bright colours or statement prints and, more often than not, accompanied by matching sarongs, kaftans, or beach trousers. Bucket hats, Y2K sunglasses, and designer beach bags complete the high-end swim aesthetic celebrities are loving right now.
