NYLON Manila Fit Picks: The Floss Bikini

line
Warning: This trend is not for the faint of heart.

The floss bikini is back fresh from the 2000s, and it’s all thanks to supermodels Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, as well as these female stunners for its resurgence.

The “floss bikini,” as Gen-Zs call it, is a swimwear trend with tiny strings that are wrapped around the body. It has been around since the 2000s, most popularized by celebrities like Christina Aguilera, Paris Hilton, and yes, even our very own Ara Mina (see: that iconic red dress in Mano Po). We’ve rounded up some of the best floss bikini looks we’ve seen on the ‘gram, and trust us, scroll until the end ’cause it’s worth it.
