Upside down ʙικιɴι trend makes return as models rock cleavage-boosting swimwear

The upside down ʙικιɴι trend has had a resurgence in recent months.

A few years ago, Italian model Valentina Fradegrada popularised the quirky trend.

Instead of wearing her swimsuits the right way round, the model sported her top backwards.

Tying the halter neck straps across her chest works to amplify the cleavage, which is why the craze is so popular.

After Valentina started the trend, celebrities have jumped on the bandwagon.

The craze is going strong more than three years later – with the likes of Tammy Hembrow and Martha Kalifatidis rocking the look in recent weeks.

So would you try the racy swimwear craze?

While some love the style, it’s proven a bit too bonkers for some fashion fans who branded it “stupid” and “ridiculous”.
