When it comes to swimwear, it’s been years since I’ve worn a bikini. This year, however, I have been more compelled than ever to give them another try thanks not only to the cool selections this season but also to the tremendous influence of my For You Page on TikTok. With summer on the horizon, my FYP has been inundated with fun (and handy!) swimsuit styling hacks. Since they usually revolve around string bikinis, I can’t help but want to give the swimsuit style a try.

From strappy waists to cool cutouts, the stylish hacks show a range of ways to tie the strings of the tops and bottoms of your bikinis so that your look is instantly brought to the next level. There are also helpful tips on how to get a cheekier look and even how to keep your strings securely and comfortably tied.

Ahead, check out six of my favorite swimsuit styling hacks from TikTok that will elevate your beach or poolside look all summer long.
