Boohoo's black underwire cut-out swimsuit has been doing the rounds on social media, leaving some shoppers baffled.

The product description on Boohoo's website reads: "Make a splash in our stylish swimwear

"Bagging yourself the perfect bikini is the secret to feeling body beautiful at the beach. Whether you prefer triangle or bandeau, high waisted or hipster, we’ve got swimwear styles to flatter every figure.

"This season we’re talking about the tropical two piece, clashing it with a quirky kimono and adding fashion’s hottest headwear, the floppy hat, for plenty of poolside pizazz."

The swimsuit costs £18 at full price but is currently on sale for £14.40. It features cut-out detailing exposing the lower half of the chest.

Shoppers shared their thoughts on Twitter.

@Meimi132 shared a photo of the swimsuit and penned: "Why am I being advertised this ridiculous swimsuit??! What did I search to deserve this?!? But seriously, who would actually wanna wear this? Surely your boobs will fall right out unless they're a *very* specific size?? #boohoowtf @boohoo ".

@doomhippy83 said: "So this is a legit item sold on #boohoo right now. I deem this unrealistic (must have been designed by a man) and therefore I submit an entirely serious improvement."

@ddug87 added: "Hey @boohoo can you make swimsuits that fit people with real life boobs? Just tried two swimsuits on and my boobs were fully out and ready to poke some kids in the eye cheers".

The swimsuit is available in sizes 6 to 12 and can be purchased from Boohoo's website by clicking here.
