$15 alternative to Kendall Jenner’s ‘upside down’ bikini

Fans have left thousands of reviews raving about a cheaper alternative to Kendall’s $168 ‘upside down’ bikini by an Aussie swimwear brand.

Revealing upside down bikini trend takes over social media

The “upside down” bikini trend has made a triumphant return with the Kardashian-Jenner sisters at the forefront.

Only recently, Kourtney and Kylie shared snaps flaunting their ample cleavage in the racy trend.

But it was Kendall who first jumped on the look with her cheeky post from March last year.

The model shared a snap posing in a $168 baroque-print two-piece from Australian label Sommer Swim.

When Kourtney, 41, shared her red hot bikini earlier this year, also from the Aussie label, it sold out instantly.

And unsurprisingly, with almost 10 million ‘likes’ the same thing happened when Kendall rocked her two-piece, which consisted of the $89 Xena top and $79 Naomi bottoms.

But now there is an online retailer selling a strikingly similar version called the ‘Geo Print Bikini’ for a mere $14.95.

“Such a beautiful bikini. A dupe of Sommer Swim’s bikini, made famous by Kendall Jenner,” one person wrote in the review’s section of the website.

“It’s super cheeky, like maximum cheekage. The size small fits like an X-small, so if you’re opting for more coverage, size up.”

“Got told I looked like Kendall Jenner,” another customer wrote.

“So cute and good quality! Top is a lot tighter than expected though,” a third person added.

Apart from the material, with the Shein version made mostly from polyester and the Sommer Swim from premium Italian Lycra, the duplicate can’t be tied up like a halter.

It can only be worn as a strapless.

However, it hasn’t stopped shoppers from snapping up the item and leaving more than 3000 mostly positive reviews on the website.

One woman said it was her “favourite set ever purchased”, adding: “I’ve gotten so many compliments. It’s so cute and great quality, I got a medium and it fits perfectly.”

Kendall and Kourtney aren’t the only celebs to snap up the Aussie label’s luxury swimwear designs.

The brand has previously been worn (and reworn) by the likes of models Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber and singer Miley Cyrus.
