Rosie HW Doesn't Believe in This Swimsuit Myth—and Neither Should You
Not to alarm you, but there's only one month left of summer. Don't shoot the messenger! I'm not ready to say goodbye to the sunny season, which is precisely why I'm still writing about swimsuits instead of sweaters. (If you're more forward-thinking than I am, however, you'll appreciate my colleague's fall/winter 2025 runway report.)
Recently, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley shared a series of vacation photos with her 20 million Instagram followers. At a hotel on the Mediterranean coast in Turkey, she wore a chic white bikini. I personally know a lot of people who ardently avoid wearing white swimsuits because they assume that they're always see-through when wet. But I'm here to tell you that this is just a myth! You can find plenty of white swimsuits that will remain fully opaque while you're swimming in the ocean or the pool—you just need to carefully read product reviews to find ones that will pass this test. Scroll down to see Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's cute white bikini and shop similar ones for yourself.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
