The telltale signs of summer are here! As the heat simmers on, our desire to dip into a pool or stroll by the beach is intensifying each minute. And as we all know in Preview HQ, with the rise of summer comes the quintessential swimsuit OOTDs.
With a fresh new batch of sunkissed shots soon awaiting our feeds, most of us are in dire need of pose inspo. Who better to give us some pointers than supermodel Gigi Hadid herself, who has graced the covers of swimsuit magazines and several ads in artful bikini-clad shots? For that crash course, see below for some of Gigi’s pre-approved poses in a swimsuit!
LOOK: 8 Sultry and Sexy Swimsuit Poses, As Seen on Gigi Hadid
1. There are no holds barred for this one! For the more daring beach babe, bare it all by leaning back with one hip popped. Bonus points for a frilly bikini bottom like Gigi’s!
2. Sunnies are a no-brainer while relaxing poolside, but a strategically placed cloth–or shirt!–will be a go-to snap for the fan of subtlety.
3. Nothing says “vacation” harder than basking in the sun’s rays while lying down. Throw in a hat styled askew with one eye peeking through, then you’ll have glamorous and mysterious down to a T!
4. The swimsuit shot isn’t limited to the sandy shores! Go a bit off-course by staging your snap in a contrasting backdrop. Take a cue from Gigi with her eyes above, making for a dreamy pastoral shot amid the grass. (Just be careful, though!)
5. You can’t go wrong with the mirror selfie, and Gigi certainly thinks so too! The low-key 'grammer can go for this classic angle, which flaunts your suit while keeping your face subtly hidden.
6. Channel your inner supermodel pose by kneeling with your hands behind your head–but to keep the enigma going, play with your camera or editing app’s exposure and shadows.
7. After the mirror selfie is the casual but classic front cam shot. Flaunt your swimsuit ensemble by keeping the angle high. You don’t even have to show your face for it!
8. Silhouettes add an instant artsy quality to any shot, swimsuit OOTDs included. Here, Gigi mastered it with a glimpse of the profile snap that accentuates her backside!
