What Is the Floss Bikini Trend?


Also referred to as the wrap-around bikini trend, the look isn't entirely new. Global trendsetters like Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Lizzo, and Emily Ratajkowski have been wearing it since last year, followed by a slew of fashion influencers who are also loving the idea of having all strings attached (get it?). The sexy swimwear style has easily become one of the major summer trends this year, what with the dramatic criss-crossing of thin straps across the torso effectively accentuating the waist and making for a more cinched silhouette. It's no wonder that the beach babes of Instagram are obsessed!
