Why I Will Always Love the French Bikini Above All

Among exquisite pastries and Breton stripes, one of the greatest gifts France gave the world is the French bikini. Not only am I able to imagine myself lying out on a chaise lounge, poolside, at Hotel du Cap in Cap d'Antibes, but the classic swimwear style has more than enough functional and fit wins that it (often) doesn't even matter if my reality is a rooftop on the upper east side of Manhattan. French bikinis are - mark my words - one of the few swimwear style that actually looks equally stellar on flat- and large-chested alike.

How, you ask? French bikinis perfectly bridge the gap between their string and their full-coverage sisters. With a triangle-inspired shape, it's beloved by those less endowed on top for it's unfussy and barely there silhouette. A French Bikini's over-the-shoulder straps, however, allow the more skin-baring top to provide loads more support than a retro string bikini top, allowing girls with a more pronounced bustline an option that lies short of an underwire balconette style.

Frankly, once I discovered my first French bikini, I never looked back, and rarely do I swap out my growing collection for something in a different silhouette or shape. So, as you continue to build your own swimwear arsenal in anticipation of Summer, shop some of our favorite French bikini styles right here.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans .

Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
