In our eyes, Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS can do (almost) no wrong. It’s skin tone and size inclusive, and it has everything from body suits that pull you in, to bike shorts that never ride up – a must to prevent any summertime chafing.
So you can imagine our delight, then, when SKIMS dropped not one, but two new barbiecore-inspired shades to its swimwear line this week.
All of your faves, from the sun safe swim T-shirt, to the classic triangle bikinis and the scoop neck one piece are now all available in the limited edition hues light pink and iris blue.
Plus, all swimwear is available in the signature extended sizing range, XXS to 4X.
If you really want to embrace this year’s 2000s chic trend, then opt for the light pink and iris blue sets with the added touch of … rhinestones. Yep, rhinestones. The collection has a bandeau top, strappy bikini bottom and strappy swim skirt available among other items. You may has well buy yourself a Von Dutch cap to finish off the look.
With Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film slated for a July release, style forecasters have already predicted that this will be the summer of barbiecore, so expect a wave of hot pinks, pastel blues and other bright hues to take over all of your feeds once the hot weather (finally) gets here.
To get you ready, Glamour has already put together a guide for how to embrace your inner Barbie this summer, with everything from boots, to bags, skirts, and a nice top to go with your jeans.
Celebrities like Lizzo, Megan Fox, Florence Pugh, and, of course, Kim Kardashian, have already embraced the trend, so you’ve been warned: the summer of Barbie is well and truly on the horizon.
