Would you wear a used swimsuit?
Splash NewsVintage clothing is par for the course these days. Wedding dresses are sold secondhand, the label Re/Done has made a whole business out of artfully reworking denim discards, and even Victorian-era silk slips are coveted items. But what about a bathing suit—a garment far more, well, intimate than the typical wash-and-wear purchase?
Though some may find the idea a bit too close for comfort, vintage suits are quickly becoming a go-to for style influencers. Last year, Kylie Jenner wore a hot pink one-piece that her own mother Kris Jenner posed in over 25 years ago. She’s not the only family member catching on to the trend: Even more recently, back in April, Kim Kardashian West sported two noughties-era Dior monogram bikinis within a span of one week.
Held is one of many sources for swam- and sunbathed-in swimwear. Swap.com, which offers a range of inexpensive suits for as low as $2, had a reported 104 percent growth in the category since last summer. “The demand for used swimsuits has grown,” says a representative for the site. “It isn’t taboo to buy those things anymore.” Upper-echelon e-commerce hubs have also seen a boost in the category.
