- Belted swimwear is fast becoming the biggest swimwear trend to emerge
- Adding a belt to your swimsuit helps to slim your waist in seconds
- Fans include Sierra Skye, Kylie Jenner and Victoria’s Secret model Romee Strijd
- This comes after models used the ties on their bikinis to cinch their waists
From skimpy straps to barely-there styles, the swimwear trends of late haven’t been all that forgiving for the average female frame.
But the latest fashion trend that has proven as popular with regular women as it has with influencers and celebrities is an altogether more flattering look.
Even better, it will help to give you a smaller waist in seconds.

And even Victoria’s Secret models such as Romee Strijd and Kylie Jenner are in on the act, revealing how adding a buckle to their midsection can give anyone a slender look in seconds.

Speaking to Who What Wear, Peony Founder and Director Rebecca Morton explained why the belted trend is such a hit.
‘We have seen a prominent push toward belted styles in upcoming 2019 collections,’ she told the publication.
‘While reminiscent of the golden years of the ’60s and ’70s, a belted bottom or one-piece can create shape through the midline and also act as a focal point to elevate and enhance an otherwise simple piece.
‘A belted bikini bottom can also be pared back with a flowing blouse and straw basket away from the ocean.’
The trend can also suit both curvy and leaner women, adding length and something to break up an otherwise block-coloured one piece suit.

Earlier this year, models and celebrities started tying the straps of their swimsuits around their midsection to draw all eyes to the slimmest part of the stomach region

This isn’t the first trend that celebrities have adopted in an attempt to shrink their waists even further.
In January this year, FEMAIL drew attention to the fact that women were tying the straps of their swimsuits around their midsection to draw all eyes to the slimmest part of the stomach region.
Australian ladies including Belle Lucia, Olivia Mathers and Natasha Oakley have tried it on for size, as well as stateside stunners like Emily Ratajkowski and Sierra Skye.
Meanwhile, others started wearing their triangle tops upside-down in order to highlight their cleavage.
