If you haven’t already heard: the three-piece swimsuit has become an overnight fashion sensation on social media. According to fashion stylist Tara Dupuis, both TikTok influencers and celebrities alike have been seen sporting this popular swimwear set.
So what exactly is a three-piece swimsuit, and why is it suddenly booming in popularity, you ask? Dupuis tells FabFitFun that “a three-piece swimsuit is a bikini set that includes a matching third piece made from the same fabric. The third piece usually includes skirts, pants, shorts, kimonos, and even hats. However, we are particularly seeing skirts as the most popular third piece, and this is a great option to explore if you want a bit of extra coverage to head to the pool.”
And much like last year’s big loungewear moment, Dupuis says that the best thing about three-piece swimsuits is that they are almost a complete outfit, so you can easily wear them to any outdoor gathering etched on your calendar. “You can throw on a top to transition to a full outfit in seconds, making these great options for places where you will do a mix of poolside lounging, and exploring your summer destination,” she adds.
