Frong (n): a high cut swimsuit, frontal thong
The days of the simple string bikini seem to be long gone, as the resurgence of one pieces, high-waist bikini bottoms, and cheeky little numbers have stolen the spotlight. Though it may be hard to imagine a swimsuit bottom more revealing than the thong (which are surprisingly making a comeback as well – an odd coincidence considering THIS panty trend), we believe the “frong” takes the cake.
Runways, celebrities, and instagram models galore have been debuting this high-cut style over the past year, but thanks to Miami Fashion Week, we can confirm this trend will only be getting more popular for the upcoming season.
Before you let your imaginations wander and envision a “frontal thong”, the “frong” isn’t necessarily as horrendous as it sounds. In fact, if worn correctly, it can be quite flattering! Unlike low-cut bikini bottoms that accentuate a flat stomach, high-cut bottoms elongate your legs to show off every remaining inch up to your hip bone. The high waist cut covers any tummy insecurities, which who doesn’t love that?
The trick to rocking the “frong” is to balance out the suit by accentuating cleavage – flashback to Baywatch, anyone? Also, suits with a low, rounded back tend to be the most flattering.
Though this swimsuit trend isn’t for every body type, it’s killer on those who can rock it! Shop some of our favorite looks below if you’re daring enough to give it a go! Xo
