Looking for the ultimate all-in-one experience for your next beach vacation? Try wearing the Towelkini, the newest trend in bathing suits. Not sure what is a Towelkini? It’s exactly as it sounds. It is a terry beach towel, bathing suit and dress all in one. Think of it as the Prius of beachwear, but way more stylish.
Designed by New York City-based artist, Aria McManus, the one size fits all Towelkini comes in lime green, athletic gold, and hot pink. However, the hot pink and athletic gold are currently sold out.
The Towelkini can be purchased at the Special Special website as part of their first group art show transforming the living room storefront into a swimming pool. According to their website, the Towelkini is part of various artist projects “evoking the spirit of a poolside retreat, offering New Yorkers a refuge from the sweltering heat.”
Still wondering why would you want to wear a Towelkini? The product description tells us because it puts the “OW in towel, [and makes] them wish they were the sun of your beach.” Not exactly sure what that means, but there are three good reasons we think you’ll definitely want to buy one before they’re gone.
