Sorry, Cheeky Bikinis—Fashion People Are Reaching For This Equally Chic Style Instead
I’ve been waiting patiently for the boy-short bikini to make its comeback—and now it’s finally time for me to live my Blue Crush Y2K dream. This is a trend I’m hopping on right away. Maybe not the actual surfing part, but trust me, the beach-going fashion people have the right idea when it comes to swimwear this season.
There’s been a shift toward comfort-focused, modest swimwear styles, and the boy-short bikini is a chic alternative to the—I'll admit it—wedgie-prone, teeny-tiny cheeky bottom.
These sporty boy-short bottoms have got you covered (literally!) for all the fun, adventurous parts of a beach day so you can feel confident and look like you’re the main character of an early 2000s rom-com where you work at a local beachside café, have a crush on the lifeguard, and dramatically run into the ocean from time to time—or something like that.
As a Jersey girl, I’m eyeing these 11 boy-short bikinis for when I head down the shore this summer, plus some visual inspiration from fashion people spanning from France to Portugal.
