This bow bikini from Love Stories is a must-have
Today I fell in love. Not with a man, no, with a bikini: love at first bow - uuh, sight. Summer is already around the corner and that means only one thing: bikini shopping! And as you know, I then scroll around until I find the gem. Well, I found it - at Love Stories. Believe me: you want this one in your closet before your next beach party. In fact, you want it yesterday.
Love Stories does her work
Oeehh: this black Love Stories bikini really is the perfect combo of elegance and fun. The highwaist bikini bottom gives full coverage (and thank god for that), but is anything but a corny granny model. Think: 1950s Sophia Loren, but with a modern twist. And that bandeau top with oversized bow: an eye-catcher that does exactly what a bikini should do: make you stand out. Trust me, with this statement piece on, you will be addressed at least 10 times a day asking, ’Where is your cute bikini from?“
Why high shorts are a life-saver
OK, seriously. Those high-waisted shorts are a lifesaver. First: it gives off a lovely ‘50s vibe. Second: it makes your legs look longer and accentuates your waist. And third: that tummy from all the summer cocktails? Gone. Gone. Like having personal trainer and detox poured into one piece of fabric.
Too expensive? Then just buy the top
Girl, I get it. Not everyone has the appetite (or budget) to put down €170 for a bikini set. But guess what: you don't have to buy everything at once either. The bow makes this bikini stand out anyway. So just buy the top and pair it with a black bikini bottom you already have in your closet. Too basic for you? Then mix it with the bottom of your panther bikini from last year. Anything goes. And the best part is: no one can tell it's not a set.
Styling tips? You know I got you
Want to style this bow bikini just a little differently from the standard blouse-kimono combo? Try this:
- Big hat à la Brigitte Bardot
- Statement earrings in gold or shell shape
- Black pareo to tie casually around your hips
- Slippers with a chunky sole for some extra length
- And of course: sunglasses so big that you actually only wear them to avoid your ex
