Lisa’s choice of swimwear for the summer screams coquettecore

Looks like Lisa isn’t waiting around for the third season of The White Lotus to enjoy some hours under the sun. For her summer photo dump earlier this month, the K-pop megastar dropped some seaside snaps of herself—in an outfit that does the trending lemon girl summer justice. But the certified It-girl certainly also made sure that the sartorial set would be satiated in kind, as her three-piece swimsuit screamed one inescapable word to fashion’s in-crowd: coquette. 

Custom-made by Thai swimwear brand TanTan, her citrus-hued ensemble for beachside living was accented by numerous ribbons, making a sure case for the bow takeover we’ve been seeing everywhere. From the spring/summer 2024 runways to the streets of fashion capitals all around the globe, there’s no denying the spirited swing of the playful adornment—one that encourages us all to embrace and unabashedly lean into our girlhood. But the true joy of Lisa’s ribbon-ified swimwear lies elsewhere: it’s fun, it’s flirty and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. But most importantly? It sparks a whole load of joy. 

Apart from the Blackpink starlet, a number of other celebrities have also taken to the ‘Gram to inspire the ebullient mood through their sartorial choices for living life on island time. We’ve seen Olivia Rodrigo in a two-piece look of gingham and florals, and Krystal Jung enacting the aesthetic in a candy-striped bikini and unicorn baby tee. Only more reasons for us to get our own girlhood-inspired swimwear, stat. 

Colour us curious then, to find the best of the lot that falls right in line with the reigning coquette trend. From lilting pastel hues to vibrant gingham prints and of course, an endless cascade of bows, bows, and more bows—these are Vogue Singapore’s coquettecore swimwear picks that’ll have us diving head first for that summer splash.
