The Y2K trend is still reigning supreme, with celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski serving major 2000s vibes as of recent. But it’s not often that you come across a Y2K-dedicated swimwear brand.
So, when we did stumble across a collection with a Gen-Z-adorned aesthetic, we were pleasantly surprised.
Rhodeo Cole describes itself as a ‘contemporary womenswear brand for the main character babe’, and one that represents ‘confidence, playfulness, and a brand experience like no other’.
The styles of bikinis and cover ups are undeniably cool – with an almost western twist (thanks to the ‘howdy’ printed motifs and stars emblazoned on some of the pieces). The designs are sultry, too, with curved hems and cut-outs that will no doubt bring attention to your poolside look. Here's what to shop ahead of your holiday…
