Promising Bathing Suits From The Gucci G String Collection

A little while ago, Kim Kardashian posted a photo to Instagram, showing off a bikini bottom that’s actually from an old Gucci collection — a thong that was modeled by Tom Ford in the brand’s Spring/Summer 1997 runway show. She captioned the pic: “FYI, I’m wearing a very old Gucci G string!”

The piece was designed by Ford during his time as the designer at Gucci and it is one of the most provocative items that he ever made. The black thong underwear was a standout on the runway and it is a rare find that comes to market as it was never sold in color, but only in black or white.

It was also a major influencer during this time, as it helped to pave the way for other designers to create similar versions of the same look. It’s been replicated by brands like Alexander Wang and Matthew William, who have all used the same backless thong to hit the Met Gala stage.

Another incredibly provocative bathing suit from this same time period was this column-style gown worn by Toni Braxton in the music video for her 1996 ballad, “Un-break My Heart”. Its strategic cut-outs reveal gold-barred straps designed to cut across the hips as though they were underwear and it’s one of the most iconic designs of the designer’s career.

This thigh-high, striped halter-neck top has a plunging neckline that ties in the back for a flattering fit. It also features removable cups for shaping, and the high-waisted bottoms have moderate butt coverage and lattice mesh panels on the sides to help smooth your tummy.

If you’re looking for something a bit more bold and sexy, this neon suit is an excellent option. It’s got a sexy plunging neckline and keyhole cut that you can slide, adjust, and tie in different ways for more or less coverage, plus the wide adjustable straps and ruching on the sides will keep your boobs in place all day long.

But if you’re more in the mood for something more classic, this bikini set is an excellent choice, too. Its ruching along the sides and back gives it a vintage vibe, and the wide adjustable straps make it super comfortable.

While it’s true that most of the Gucci swimsuits that are currently available online sell out very quickly, there are still a few options that you can get your hands on. Here are a few that we think will be worth snatching up for your summer wardrobe:

A Perfectly Feminine One-Piece With A Little More Flair

If you’re in the market for a chic and feminine one-piece, this thong bikini is an amazing choice. It has a plunging neckline, adjustable straps, and a little more cleavage than most thongs (yep, it’s a bandeau style).

The ruched detailing along the shoulders makes this a truly darling option for your next pool party or vacation. It’s also made from a super stretchy and breathable material, so you’ll feel as good as you look all summer long.
