Cheeky bikini bottoms were inescapable last summer. Celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner led the charge, sharing their booty-revealing swimwear on Instagram. And nearly every brand, from Left On Friday to Hunza G, honed in on the risqué cut. But that was last summer. This season, things have taken a turn, as many bottoms offer much more coverage. Coming in hot are swim shorts and skirts, the latter of which blur the lines between swimwear and ready-to-wear.
Jannine Vince, the creative director of Oséree, describes the bottoms as effortless, playful, and versatile. “We began noticing the shift [towards swim skirts] a couple of seasons ago, as women looked for pieces that could flow seamlessly from the beach to the bar,” she says. “The rise of retro-inspired silhouettes and a renewed love for textures, like lurex, paillettes, and sheer layers, pushed this trend forward.” According to Vince, the silhouette offers coverage while bringing glamour to the beachwear space. And the label’s customers are wearing them for non-water activities, too. “A sequined [swim] mini paired with a crisp shirt or a triangle top under a blazer has become a go-to for summer dinners, festivals, or even rooftop soirées,” Vince explains.
Another sign that swim skirts are the look du jour this summer? Kylie Jenner’s brand Khy’s recent collaboration with Frankies Bikinis included black and red polka dot swim skirts, and they’re both completely sold out (along with many other styles in the line). Fellow It girl Bella Hadid’s collection with the swimwear powerhouse also featured the look in polka dots, which are now — you guess it — nearly out of stock as well.
