Featuring no straps, the [novel design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bathing-belle-swimwear) makes it look like there is a seamless ribbon wrapping around your body. There are three major sections: one wrap around the bust, one tightening across the belly (diagonally) and one covering your bottom. From the front, the result is two teasing glimpses of the body from either side, while the back-view is almost fully covered. The piece comes in different designs, but the [tri-colored block design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-club) is arguably the most modern and interesting.
