The 'Towelkini' might be summer's most unusual beachwear trend
We get it, packing for a long day at the beach or the pool can be tough.
After all, you need to remember to pack sunscreen, a bathing suit,
snacks, sunglasses, and a towel. While we can’t really help you with
your entire list, one new company is hoping to help you never forget
your towel again. And they're doing it by making the towel your entire
outfit.
New York-based conceptual designer Aria McManus invented a new beach outfit called the "Towelkini” and it’s honestly exactly what
you’d expect.As Business Insider reported, the beach and poolside
apparel — originally released in 2018 — is described as "two essentials
for all things beach, no need to carry a cumbersome towel and an easy to
lose swimsuit.”

back. However, it conveniently leaves the back free for tanning. Aria is
so confident in the look she believes you can even wear it around town,
too.
If you’re dying to get your hands on one you may have to save a few pennies to do so. The product, Business Insider explained,
currently retails for $199 and is only sold as an artist edition at
Special Special. But, at least you can get it in either yellow or hot
pink to complete your summer look.
However, if you’re looking for a more traditional towel this summer, that’s OK too. There are plenty out
there that will compliment your own style, including these 13 super
cute beach towels and this insanely absorbant microfiber towel that can
soak up nine times its weight in water. (Sure, it may not be the
conversation starter that is the "Towelkini,” but at least it gets the
job done.)
