Everywhere I look this summer, it seems like women are fearlessly owning their awesome bodies in cut out swimsuits. Be it a mesh-paneled one-piece or a cheeky peekaboo bikini, there are just so many styles to choose from. Many celebs are also embracing this daring trend as well, from Myleene Klass in her bold, white swimsuit to Nadia Forde in her black "slashkini." What about that saucy snap Jessica Simpson posted on her Instagram recently featuring her posing dramatically (and fabulously) in her belly button skimming swimsuit with all-over cut outs? It's enough to make anyone want to hop on the next plane to a sunny paradise.
Cut out swimwear has even entered the fashionable waters of high end designers, with labels like Acne Studios showcasing its sporty cut out suit and Cushnie et Ochs showing off its super sexy cut out graphic bikini on its runways. If you're feeling a little shy this summer or perhaps prefer to be a tad more covered up, then take a style hint from Selena Gomez. She was spotted splashing in the sea while on holiday in Mexico wearing a very clever swimsuit with beige paneling that tricked the eye into believing it was a cut out piece.
If you want to ensure the rest of your summer goes swimmingly, opt for totally on trend cut out swimwear, too. These are my seven favorites, perfect for any end of summer vacation.
