If you’ve hated the last two summers of ridiculously tiny string bikinis reigning supreme, you can rest easy. Thanks to Kendall Jenner, who has the power to make or break trends with one Instagram post—having 250 million followers and counting helps—high-coverage swimwear is gearing up for a comeback.
On Monday, the supermodel, who was among the first to get on board with micro bikinis, debuted a much more conservative swimsuit than we’ve grown accustomed to seeing on the beach in 2022. In an Instagram post, she wore a vintage S/S 00 Jean Paul Gaultier tank-style bikini top with matching high-waisted bottoms, both of which were sourced from the vintage store Opulent Addict by Jenner’s stylist Dani Michelle. In other photos from the post, she can be seen wearing the set with its matching mesh slip dress and a cowboy hat called the Kenny from Gladys Tamez.
Though we don’t expect Jenner to ditch her string bikinis for good, especially since she’s been wearing them all throughout her vacation, we are expecting slightly covered-up styles to garner some serious attention in the wake of her latest post.
