flashing the flesh

Underboob is the latest bikini trend for celebrities including Olivia Atwood and Iggy Azalea… and there’s a reason they love it

WE usually spend hours trying to find ‘the one’ and no, we're not talking about scrolling through Tinder - we mean the perfect bikini.

The celebs have found their match in the form of the underboob top, and they're ditching the perfect fitting bikini we all look for in favour of this flesh-flashing style.

Forget the sideboob,  this is the new Insta-approved pose on everyone's radar, and it’s all about showing off the bottom of your boob instead of the usual cleavage.

If it looks like you've picked up a bikini top in a few sizes too small - you've nailed it.

Supermodel Adwoa Aboah has been trying it out in a lime green string bikini and completing the look with a body chain and layered nacklaces.

She's not the only one either - Iggy Azalea is known for her killer curves, so it’s no surprise that she’s been giving it a go and racking up the fire emojis on her latest bikini posts.

So, why is it the new way to wear your bikini top?

Even Love Island girls Olivia Attwood and Montana Brown from last year’s series are letting their bikini tops rise up to give us a flash of the underboob on their Insta Stories.

We wanted to ask an expert to see why this is becoming a phenomenon among the stars and chatted to fashion stylist Kelvin Barron, who has previously styled Olivia Attwood, to get the lowdown.

Kelvin said: "I’m all for an underboob bikini and Olivia works it well.  I know they will be very much like Marmite and whilst men will definitely love it, in the political climate of 'Times Up' - I say your body - your choice girls!"

He added: "Olivia for example has a body which I would compare to supermodel proportions.

"She is tall, tanned and toned & she embraces it with confidence.  If you've got it - flaunt it."

He also told Fabulous: "I think flashing a couple of inches is fine - it's a subtle hint of sex appeal without being too overtly in your face.

"There is definitely a time and a place for this though - Instagram being one of them.

"I understand why girls like this pose - not only does a reveal of the underboob make them feel sexy - it makes women feel more statuesque in terms of posing by lengthening the torso.

"It's definitely a styling trick to try out".
