California lifestyle clothing brand [PacSun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pac-mall-rats) recently designed the woman’s ‘Been Trill’ swimsuit range that plays off of the adopted hip-hop culture slang word "trill."

If you’re wondering what the word trill even means, you are not alone. In hip-hop lingo, trill is an adjective used to describe someone who is well-respected and truly real. PacSun cleverly capitalizes on the popularity of using the word in colloquial conversation by dedicated an explicitly girls-only swimsuit range to ‘trill’ living. There are [four different swimsuits in the collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle-swimwear) and each creatively incorporates the trill saying into its design. With hot cutouts, sultry one-pieces, black and white color scheme and blood-dripping fonts, these suits are seductively eye-catching. The ‘Been Trill’ collection is available at PacSun shops.
