Ready for sun, sand, and surf? TikTok bikini hacks have emerged across the platform just in time for your next beach outing, so plan accordingly.

TikTok bikini hacks: repurposed bikini bottoms

Stylist Jordyn Megan has gone viral after blessing us with a life-changing bikini hack to help save the pennies. The Miami-based TikToker shared yet another game-changing style trick: this time it’s how to reuse your old bikini bottoms to create a chic duo top. Cool, huh?

All you need to do is grab two pairs of old bikini bottoms—they can be any color and don't have to match. In fact, the look works better with clashing prints and colors. Just take each pair of bikini bottoms and fashion them into one half of a bikini top, as seen in the video below.
