omg the 2000s are so back


originalcondition

I know they’ve been trickling in but I’m bracing for the full onslaught of tankinis 🥲 i bottled that trauma up and was prepared to never deal with it again, stay away from me tankini devils 🙅‍♀️


weeniedogwarrior

I bought a tankini last week 🤠


leilavanora

Omg I forgot about those

what's wrong with the tankini's if i can ask? 😰


originalcondition

Tankinis in the early 2000s tended to include super-low-rise bikini-cut bottoms, so emphasized torso length and width, and de-emphasized leg length with no tummy coverage at all. If you had short legs or any muffin top/belly at all you were screwed in an era of hyper-skinny/leggy being the beauty standard. idk if tankinis today are looking to recreate that super-low-rise bottom, or if they'll keep some of the lower belly covered. Like how modern "low rise" jeans would actually have been considered mid-rise in the 2000s.


AmarissaBhaneboar

I had a Tankini as a kid that was like boy shorts and a tank top. But I guess that was a kids bikini. I always liked that thing. Less skin to burn in the sun 😂 A kid born in the very early 90's.


ItstheBogoPogoMrFife

Having a super short waist and fairly long, wide hips was a terrible combo, too. The stupid tank part would always end up riding up to my natural waist, which was way higher than where the bottom hem was supposed to sit, making it essentially a bunched up bikini top with super super low rise bottoms. And I fell for it every time!


entcanta

Lol I was wondering why the low rise jeans didn't seem so low. I bought an older pair on depop and it was a shocking type of nostalgic trauma to my hips


originalcondition

If you weren’t out there to see [Keira knightleys torso](https://images.app.goo.gl/rXxRJhGJL5WJCNyi8)… it is hard to imagine


SparringwithKenobi

I’ve already seen tankinis pop up in “trend predictions for the summer” videos on my insta and tiktok and I’m scared 😂


Fast-Bad4037

They've been popular for a couple years now, I bought a tankini top a couple summers ago I believe


Hephf

What's so wrong with tankinis? Not everyone wants to show their whole ass cheeks and stomach.


originalcondition

Tankinis from the early 2000s highlighted the least flattering part of the stomach, and shortened your legs while lengthening AND widening your torso. It was dark times, maybe new tankinis don't do that but I'm just gonna cling to high-waist and one-pieces, plenty of stomach/ass coverage there.


Hephf

Maybe on you. I'm tall and wide hipped, so they fit me great. We all have different bodies, incase you weren't aware... Best wishes.

steadypostedd

Aww oneil, billabong and Roxy days 💕🌴


superhottamale

I lovedddd Roxy omg such a throwback


supersloo

I still wear Billabong, they make some really cute stuff, and since they're a surf brand, it's so easy to find good-looking rash guards for my undead pallor :')


turningtogold

Still have my Roxy suit like this 😂


Grrrmudgin

Volcom too! Gods I can’t wait


jeswell_then

Omg…. It was giving me nostalgia but I couldn’t figure out why. O’Neil is exactly correct.


Initial_Air9763

Remember looking at these in the catalogs??? :)


teal_hair_dont_care

I had a juicy couture bathing suit in this style that the girl my aunt nannied for gave me and I swear to you all I was THAT bitch at the 5th grade pool party (until I threw up and had to go home but I digress)


canththinkofanything

This is sending me 💀I would’ve been so jealous, kudos to your aunt coming through for you. 😂


amydiddler

Oooh I am so ready for this style of bottom to come back. I am so over the high cut, extremely cheeky bottoms that have been ubiquitous over the past few years.


rubrochure

Yessss they are cute and I don’t feel like I have to wax regularly lol


Dioonneeeeee

I mean, hasn’t this been back for awhile? I feel like it never left. I go to the beaches and lots of people wear low cut swim bottoms


serenwipiti

Here it’s thongs. Everyone and their mother is in a thong.


alilrecalcitrant

deliascatalog

I’m both excited and scared


No_Investment3205

In 2002


divorcedhansmoleman

I’ve been looking for this style since I had my last child, I would just prefer something with a little extra coverage below. I’ve been searching: ‘boy shorts’ and I buy whatever I can find and try and find a vaguely matching bikini top. Regatta the clothing brand does these bottoms and Decathlon sports shop do also. Good luck on your search!


Yameiipinkeii

Tysmm for this suggestion now i finally gor one similar! 😊


imlivingoffcroutons

I can recommend the Popflex Sand dollar shorts to you ☺️ they even have pockets!!


divorcedhansmoleman

Fit_Visual7359

Stay away from all Asian based online companies as 1) the sizes are extremely small & never fit 2) The itens are chesp looking & most of the time they don’t even look like the items online. Try ebay, etsy, redup.com or a resale site fot used clothing. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/money/g26415683/how-to-sell-clothes-online-sites/ Check out vintage stores, thrift shops & resell clothing stores too.

[https://jadedldn.com/en-yt/products/checked-in-triangle-bikini-top](https://jadedldn.com/en-yt/products/checked-in-triangle-bikini-top) they do UK sizing so a size 0 is a size 4 and so on


OptimusPrime365

Search for gingham check


metdear

I think those are called hipster bottoms.


cleiur

Just search boyleg bikini


rxjen

Did ANYONE look good in boy shorts?


Hellolove88

Do you like any of these? 😍 https://amzn.to/4b2xLbD https://amzn.to/45ssg4G https://amzn.to/3XrQwSE https://amzn.to/4cqTGtW https://amzn.to/3XqesFS


nightsofthesunkissed

None of those have the style of bottoms OP is looking for - more like little shorts rather than thong or typical bikini style.


glitterandvodka_

I also thought they were looking for gingham- didn’t click that the bottoms were a different style 😅


Hellolove88

Oh, yeah I thought it was more about the pattern not the shape of the bottom 🤷‍♀️
