Are you brave enough to wear a slashkini ladies?

It may not be the most practical of designs for tanning but the cut-out swimming costume is fast becoming the hottest swimwear trend of the season.

Dubbed the 'slashkini', the cut-out swimsuit is shaping up to be the celebrity costume du jour - just ask Millie Mackintosh, Nadia Forde and Vogue Williams, who have all rocked the statement piece.

The stars have been championing the one-piece, which has been updated for summer with sliced away sides and scissored sections, on recent getaways to Ibiza and high-end pool parties.

Originally pioneered by Agent Provocateur, the multi-strap costume is now a seriously hot alternative to the standard bikini.

Dodgy tan lines aside, the straps have a contouring effect that draw attention to the smallest part of your waist, while the halter straps and keyhole detail make the best of your assets.

Discussing the trend, fashion expert and founder of wantherwardrobe.com, Lydia Jones, said: 'Poolside glam has never been so sexy as it has this summer, with many high street shops replicating the lingerie styles of leading brands such as Agent Provocateur and La Perla. 

'The slashed and cut-out designs of swimsuits and bikinis are the hottest trend for every poolside party this season, whether you're living it up in Marbella or partying the night away in Ibiza. 

'For extra body confidence, Want Her Wardrobe suggests investing in a bandage cut-out swimsuit as this is great for contouring your figure and holding you in at all the right places.'

would you dare rock it?
