Spring is in full swing, which means summer is right around the corner, and with spring cleaning comes summer shopping. Temperatures are rising and days are getting longer, but clothes are getting smaller — because it’s time to bring out those bikinis and bathing suits.
Swimsuit shopping can be a pretty dreadful process for most women, but luckily, the string bikini solves a lot of these problems. Self-tying the strings allows you to adjust their length, tightness, and fit. For the top, you can change up the look by criss-crossing the strings. The adjustable triangle shape is more forgiving for a variety of cup sizes, as opposed to an underwire or bralette style bikini. With the bottom, you can decide where on your hips you want the strings to sit, opting for a high-rise or low-waisted look.
String bikinis may carry a little more risk (like untying in the ocean, or sliding side-to0side with lots of movement), but it’s worth it for their versatility. In addition to their variability in shape and size, there are countless designs, colors, and styles of string bikinits to choose from. Before beach vacations and pool days are officially upon us, check out our list of over 40 string bikinis to rock this summer.
