Want to make a big splash this summer? We know just the thing you need: a metallic swimsuit. You’d usually only see chromatic shades during parties or while walking down red carpets. But the flashy fabric has somehow made its way to the water.
While metallic swimwear isn't anything new, you’ve got the Kardashians and Jenners to thank for its mainstream appeal. In July last year, Kim Kardashian stunned the internet when she not only posted pictures of herself wearing one but even dropped a whole metallic swimwear line on her viral clothing brand Skims. Just recently, Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian were also spotted donning metallic bikinis, and TBH, we’re in love with the look.
Imagine walking down the beach or dipping in the pool in these sparkling numbers and having the sun hit you just right. You’ll be the coolest gal around. In case you needed further convincing, we rounded up some local celebrities and influencers who wore metallic swimsuits to their beach or resort trips. Glean style tips from them ahead! You’ll be convinced to shop one of these fun pieces for yourself this summer.
