Why you should ditch your bikini for a belted swimsuit this summer

Plunging necklines, dramatic cut-outs and high cut legs: recent swimwear trends have not been for the fainthearted.

Those of us who like to keep things a little more modest can breathe a sigh of relief this year, as seventies-inspired belted swimsuits make a comeback.

Here are three brands to hit up for that all important beach OOTD...

We Wore What for Onia Swim

Kylie Jenner was one of the first influencers to draw our attention to belted swimsuits when she posted a snap of herself wearing an eye-catching cow print design during a mini break in January 2019.

Fans quickly tracked down the trendy swimsuit and discovered it was a collaboration between Onia and WeWoreWhat. The style comes in several prints, complete with a stylish western buckle belt and flattering underwire demi cups.

Hunza G

London-based Hunza G has become a swimwear staple with the fashion set thanks to its minimal and sleek silhouettes.

Sticking to its signature stretch knit designs, for 2019 the classic suit has been given the addition of an attached figure-hugging belt with a resin tortoise clasp.

Solid & Striped

Cult swim brand Solid & Striped's statement one-pieces were all over the 'gram last year, and its latest designs are set to get more airtime on our feeds this summer.

From leopard print to retro houndstooth and summer-ready pastels, the label has every style you could ever want.
