The Side-Tie Bikini Bottom That Actually Looks Like You Tried

The scalloped-edge, low-rise moment is officially here, and Frankies Bikinis' Mackenzie bottom is doing the heavy lifting. Side ties have become the calling card of '90s-coded swim — they're not just functional, they're a *vibe* — and this piece gets it. The triangle silhouette is minimal enough to pair with literally any top, but those scalloped edges and visible hip ties keep it from feeling like a basic. It's the kind of detail that makes you look like you know what you're doing, even if you're just scrolling Instagram poolside. What makes this one actually worth your cart is the color range. Desert Suede hits that soft, neutral lane that's dominating right now — it's giving quiet luxury without trying. French Blue brings the classic coastal energy if you're not ready to abandon color entirely, while Midnight Blossom is for anyone who wants their swim to have a little personality. Mix and match with a crochet top or wear it solo — either way, you're not blending into the sea of basic black minis everyone else is wearing.
