Stick-on swimwear is summer’s hottest new trend as models storm Miami catwalk in Duct-tape bikinis
We thought taking off a normal swimming costume was a pain...
DUCT tape - it's a must-have household item almost everyone has in their homes, right?
Well for reasons we still can't understand, wrapping yourself in the super-strength stuff is the latest fashion trend.
And now duct-tape bikinis have officially made their runaway debut. Yes, you read that correctly.
Last week, models took to the runway for fashion brand Black Tape Project to show off the experimental style.
As part of a Miami Swim Week show, the styles ranged from glitzy gold swimwear chic to the more obvious "I've wrapped myself in black duct tape" look.
But if donning tape instead of a conventional cossie wasn't daring enough, let's just say this style isn't for the faint of heart.
Leaving very little to the imagination, these startling pieces of "swimwear" are effectively made up of a strip of tape covering the nipple and crotch area.
We have officially seen it all... literally.
And we can only imagine what a nightmare they must be to remove.
Yeah this takes the "pain" of removing a wet swimming costume to an entirely new level.
And don't get us started on the sticky-tape bums...
Although one thing duct-tape does have going for it? These "bikinis" are literally tailored to your shape, making unflattering muffin tops and saggy shapes a thing of the past.
But when all is said and done, we'll be leaving this one to the professionals. Someone pass the Lycra.
But this isn't even the first time duct-tape bikinis have made ripples on social media, here's everything you need to know about Black Tape Project.
The V-kini is the new swimwear trend Kendall Jenner and Rita Ora are loving... and it'll give you instant curves this summer.
And if duct-tape bikinis aren't your thing, here's where you can buy a MissPap dupe of the £260 designer cossie.
