The latest cleavage-enhancing bikini is the ‘V-bar’ but would YOU rock the bold trend?

It’s time to say farewell to your beloved triangle two-piece - the V-bar is here to stay!

Summer ready? Well, you certainly will be with these swimmers in tow.

Forget the trad triangle two-piece - this year it's time to rock the 'V-bar' bikini.

 The new V-bar bikini is the must-have style of the summer season - it's gone viral on Instagram and it's easy to see why...model Shannon Lawson sports the Vino version from Australian label Bamba

Models Gizele Oliveira and Shannon Lawson were early adopters of the trend - and now fashion bloggers are raving about it too.

The first label to incorporate the inverted V design was Australian label Bamba with their Vino Top priced at AUD$79 (£43).

You may do a double-take at first (that inverted V underwire looks weird), but stick with it - there's a reason Instagram is all over this fashionable design.

British brands have also adopted the trend with Missguided now selling their own variation of the must-have design.

Celebrity stylist Rochelle White predicts the V-bar design will be the next big thing on the beach.

She told : “Not only does it create a flattering shape to the bust area, but it also adds a nice amount of cleavage, without looking too in-your-face."

Seriously though, the V-bar design is the best bust-booster we've seen in ages.

We’re seriously loving Bamba’s colourways, especially the cherry red and stone grey which we’re imagining would look lush with a tan.

Missguided also had a black V-bar bikini for £25, but it's currently sold out online.

Summer’s most important sartorial item? A V-bar bikini. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…

Also, if you're not exactly inclined to the V-bar bikini, then why not try this: Primark is selling a sequin bikini for just £13! We'll be wearing it by the pool.

Finally, the super-hot Victoria's Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrossio has been spotted in Hawaii. The Brazillian beauty got herself a sandy bottom clambering over the rocks in a very tiny bikini.
