The thongkini trend puts assets and confidence on full display.

Although it’s been a staple in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for eons, thongkinis have taken the beaches by storm this year. Less is most definitely more with the return of this trend in swimsuits. Kim Kardashian and all of her sisters—Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian as well as Kendall and Kylie Jenner—have continually put their assets on full display in this revealing look. Many others like Dua Lipa, Sydney Sweeney, Emily Ratajkowski and Bella Hadid have also been photographed in these bathing suits.

First introduced in the ’70s by Rudi Gernreich, the thongkini became a runway staple in the ’80s and ’90s. Helena Christensen and Beverly Johnson made an impact on the Chanel 1995 spring runway wearing the style. Since then, across Europe and South America (hello, the Brazilian cut!)swimwear has always been teeny-tiny whereas much of the culture in the U.S. was to cover up and wear less revealing bottoms.

The movement has finally gone mainstream and is now accepted, which means it’s time to embrace what your mama gave ya and not be shy in baring more than usual with confidence. High cut and full coverage in the front leads to a barely-there thong in the back for optimal tanning.

Pair with any kind of bikini top from triangle, bandeau or one with more coverage, and you will be set for the beach or pool. Shop some of our favorite thongkinis below.
