Fashion Nova is known for some pretty risqué clothing and tend to push the envelope when it comes to sexy outfits. However, a bikini that was released on their website seems to be causing quite a stir from shoppers.
Online clothing retailer Fashion Nova has been hit with backlash for stocking a barely-there bikini that critics claim is inappropriate for the beach.
The “Butterfly Babe Thong 2 Piece Bikini”, which currently retails for $11.99, went on sale over the weekend, with the skimpy swimwear quickly attracting attention for all the wrong reasons.
Fashion Nova shared a photo of the raunchy garment to its official Instagram account on Sunday, captioning: “Well, This Will Leave An Interesting Tan Mark. Our Bikini Will Have Everyone Feeling A Little Extra Hot This Summer.”
Tan lines definitely won’t be an issue with the barely there bikini! LOL
While the blue bikini top didn’t raise any eyebrows, the matching bottoms shocked shoppers with a thin piece of fabric barely concealing the model’s private parts.
The barely there bottoms feature a diamond shaped butterfly in place of fabric just above the crotch area, with one little skimpy piece of fabric to cover your nether region below.
One customer said, “This could get you arrested for indecent exposure!”
Other haters chimed in, with one blasting, “What is with this style?!? May as well be naked.”
Another raged that the swimwear was pointless and that bathers should just swim bottomless at this point. Several others stated that the bikini should only be worn in the bedroom, and wasn’t appropriate for any outdoor use.
“LMFAO IMAGINE OUR FATHERS SEEING US IN THIS,” one woman responded.
Fashion Nova has yet to respond to the furor of their shoppers and it’s unclear whether the controversy has even caused problems for the well known clothing brand.
However, there were some Instagram users who admired the bold bikini, claiming they had to have it in their wardrobes.
“I need!” one cooed. While another stated, “Definitely adding to my wish list.”
Darn, darn, darn!!! There’s only 1 thing wrong with these pics. Too much covering the boobs. Just single pastes over the nipples, would make this bikini PUUUURRRRFIT…. Ha Ha Ha!!!
There is not one thing wrong with that bikini. The haters are fat out of shape women that are jealous that they can’t wear something that looks that good.
Does anyone want to see beautiful women in this? You do. #Metoo!” If you wear it don’t bitch about the lurkers.🤣
They are right. She minis well be nude!!
It is like we said when I was growing up. Nothing more then two bandaid and a cork.
What’s the big deal ??? She has covered what is required to be covered !!! Just because you are 250 pound and have belly rolls and can’t wear one like this, don’t complain – it is well within her right to wear this bathing suit !!!!! You wear your bed sheet and she can wear this !!!! Get over it !!!!!! 99% of us have no problem with this !!!!!!
