Time to scrap those long, tight jeans that need to be unbuttoned after a Sunday roast – we’re more excited about the skimpy denim bikinis rocking Miami Swim Week!
This new, fun way to style denim comes just in time for the hot weather and holidays, as these models turn our eyes to the sustainable and sexy new way to take a dip.
The Love For Upcycling show gave the classic fabric a fresh makeover perfect for soaking up salt and sun.
To promote the brand’s message of sustainability, each design was made from scrap material and given a new lease of life.
The only catch is wet denim probably doesn't feel very nice on the skin, so we'd recommend keeping it for pool lounging rather than splashing about.
Would you try the trend? You can get inspiration from our eye-catching Daily Star gallery below…
