SUMMER may still seem a long (long) way off but there is already a bonkers swimwear trend on the horizon.

Influencers and bloggers lucky enough to be catching some winter sun are opting to wear their bikinis upside down in a bid to flash some serious underboob.

Leading the way is Aussie influencer Tammy Hembrow who recently shared a photo of herself poolside in a pink Dior bikini on Instagram.

But while the swimsuit was of the traditional string bikini style, Hembrow had taken the unusual step of wearing her top upside down, showcasing plenty of underboob.

The risky style didn’t go unnoticed by Hembrow’s followers, with many jumping in the comments to let her known her top was the wrong way around.

“Ma’am … your bikini might be upside down,” one wrote, while another added: “The top looks backwards but I still love you.”

Meanwhile others expressed disbelief at the trend, asking how it was practical.

“How is that bikini even staying on,” one fan commented, with another adding: “Some trends shouldn’t be followed.”

“I never got why girls wear it upside down haha,” one follower wrote, while another was convinced by Hembrow’s look: “I’m gonna start wearing my top like this lol.”

But Hembrow wasn’t bothered by her followers’ reaction.

“Tf does she have the bathing suit top upside down for?” one person asked, to which Hembrow replied: “Maybe cause I feel like it? Lmao.”

The upside-down bikini trend first surfaced on Instagram in mid-2018, with models tying both strings of their triangle tops around the middle to create a cleavage-boosting strapless look.

Originally started by Italian model, Valentina Fradegrada - the trend works by tying the halter neck straps across the chest, which pulls the triangle material further apart than usual - enhancing cleavage and revealing more under boob than ever before.

Of course, this results in far less support, with many Instagram users pointing out just how impractical the style is.
