Behold: my exact vibe. Mostly thanks to Olivia Rodrigo, the early-'00s emo trends are back in a big way, with checker print taking center stage. This bright green design combines the punky vibe with the color of the moment.
There is nothing hotter than a lil bustier momentâI will not be taking questions. This trend has moved from lingerie to the prom scene and now it's popping up allll over swimwear. Hot Girl Summer, amiright?!

To anyone who follows Tana Mongeau, this is not new information. The keyhole trend has been saturating your FYP for months. You can shop the super-popular trend for real or just wear your favorite string bikini top upside down.Â

Puff sleeve bikini tops look crazy chic, but also give the benefit of extra shoulder coverage (bye, burns!), while still allowing you to serve bodyyy.Â
