TikTok has become the new go-to for finding some of the hottest trends in fashion and beauty. It's how we discovered the Maybelline Sky High mascara and the omnipresent TikTok yoga pants. Most recently though, TikTok users have been showing off their latest swimwear obsession just in time for summer.
If you've been contemplating what the ideal swimsuit is—for those beach pictures, or just for you obvs—then, you may want to add a sarong into the equation, because according to TikTok, sarongs are in.

What is a sarong?
Typically, it's a large piece of fabric that you can tie around your waist as a skirt that you would pair with your swimsuit. TikTokers seemingly nail the art of seeing a trend and making it their own by styling it up several different ways (including one as a cute tube top) and showing off adorable trendy three-piece sets all from affordable retailers.
In one video, a user shows off how to style her simple white sarong as a top, skirt, and bandana captioning the video, "Just thinking ahead for summer!"
