Wherever Kim Kardashian goes, her fans tend to follow. So when the 41-year-old shared a photo wearing a triangle bikini on her latest sun (and love)-drenched trip to the beach with Pete Davidson this week, it came as no surprise to anyone that the itsy bitsy bikini style was catapulted back to the top of the entire population's swimwear hotlist.
Triangle bikini tops have been around for time, and while they're a straight up no for some (the teeny tiny triangle cups don't do the most to support bigger boobs), there's no denying that they're a firm-favourite the swimwear collections of many fashion editors and celebs.
Cecilia Basari and Yuli Suri – the designers behind Balinese swimwear brand Isa Boulder – have featured triangle cuts heavily across their new-season collection, Faithfull the Brand's influencer-approved triangle bikinis have been crafted in collaboration with local Indonesian artisans, and Dolce & Gabanna's new-season leopard-print triangle bikini top sold out on Net-A-Porter with speed after first launch. Now back in stock (you know what to do), it's splashed in the label's signature animal print and finished with skinny ties to help personalise the fit at the back.
It's there we have the first reason to love a triangle bikini. The string ties and absence of clasps make them really easy to adjust. You can pull the ties tighter for a push-up effect and enhanced cleavage, and you can mix up the placement of straps to avoid those dreaded tan lines.
