Ever since the release of The Little Mermaid, we've seen an increase in mermaid-inspired clothing on both the high street and our favourite celebs. It has taken over on TikTok too, with #mermaidcore consistently making an appearance on our FYP over the past few weeks.
The Love Island girls have made a case for the trend too, and who can blame them? Eight weeks in a villa, finding love and sitting poolside? We've spotted them wearing what we can only describe as some of the best mermaid-inspired bikinis we have ever seen.
From Jess Harding's pink glitter set to Ella Thomas' metallic number, the Love Island girls have embraced their inner Ariel and have left us wanting more. But worry not, because if mermaid-core bikinis are what you're looking for, you're in luck. We found some of the best on the market right now, including the ones featured on the show.
If you're looking for more bikinis as worn by the Love Island girls, you can shop them here.
