Sequin High-Waisted Bikini Bottoms: The Latest Beach Trend That Has Us Scratching Our Heads

Summer is here, and with it comes the inevitable influx of swimwear trends. From high-cut one-pieces to string bikinis, there’s always something new and exciting hitting the beach scene. But this year, there’s a particular trend that has us scratching our heads: sequin high-waisted bikini bottoms.

Yes, you read that right. Sequin high-waisted bikini bottoms are apparently a thing now. And while we can appreciate the boldness of wearing sparkly swimwear, we have some questions about this particular trend.

First of all, let’s talk about practicality. We all know that swimming in the ocean or pool can be rough on even the sturdiest swimsuits. But add sequins into the mix? Good luck trying to avoid snagging those babies on every rough surface you encounter.

And what about tanning? If you’re someone who loves getting an even tan sans tan lines (and who doesn’t?), then these high-waisted bottoms might not be for you. With their coverage reaching up above your belly button, they’ll likely leave some pretty noticeable tan lines if worn for extended periods in direct sunlight.

But perhaps most confusingly of all: why do we need sequins on our swimwear at all? Don’t get us wrong – we love a good sparkle as much as anyone else – but adding them onto already-gaudy high-waisted bottoms seems like overkill.

Despite our reservations, these sequin-studded swimsuits seem to be gaining popularity among fashion bloggers and Instagram influencers alike. So if you’re still interested in giving them a try (hey, no judgment here!), here are a few tips on how to wear them:

1) Keep it simple: With so much going on in terms of texture and shine with these bikini bottoms already, it’s best to pair them with simple solid-colored tops.
2) Accessorize wisely: A pair of oversized sunglasses and some statement earrings can elevate any swimsuit look, but be careful not to overdo it and compete with the sequins.
3) Be prepared: As previously mentioned, these bottoms are not the most practical swimwear option out there. If you’re planning on wearing them all day, consider bringing a backup swimsuit just in case.

And now for the big question: where can you actually buy these sparkly high-waisted bikini bottoms? One website that seems to have cornered the market is Designer Swimwear and Beachwear. Their collection boasts an impressive array of sequin-studded swimsuits in various colors, ranging from classic black to eye-catching metallics.

But here’s where things get really interesting – according to their website, these bikini bottoms aren’t just for swimming. They suggest pairing them with a sheer blouse or blazer for a night out on the town. Yes, you read that right – they want us to wear our bathing suits as actual clothing.

While we admire their creativity (and commitment to selling more product), we have some doubts about how socially acceptable it would be to show up at a restaurant or bar in nothing but a bikini bottom and blazer combo. But hey, maybe we’re just old-fashioned.

All joking aside though, it’s clear that these sequin high-waisted bikini bottoms are not for everyone. They’re bold, flashy, and definitely not practical for everyday wear. But if you’re someone who loves making a statement with your fashion choices (whether at the beach or beyond), then go ahead – sparkle away!
