Let’s all thank Taylor Swift for unofficially kicking off bathing suit shopping season. The pop star appears to be in the middle of a tropical vacation with beau Calvin Harris, and, along with causing a serious case of wanderlust, she’s been offering up swim style inspiration left and right.

A typically feminine dresser, Taylor’s beachwear of choice has often been of the high-waisted, retro-inspired variety (so much so that Saturday Night Live made light of it in a sketch). She’s switching it up this time though, picking string bikinis that look more like something you’d spot in the Victoria’s Secret swim special. As anyone can attest, style changes throughout your life, so maybe it’s a new leaf for Taylor.

The other possibility? Her beach style is morphing due to her relationship, a phenomenon we noticed right when these two started canoodling. Either way, we’re digging it. The black lace suit seen from behind in Calvin’s Insta is from Love & Lemons and will cost you (both pieces together retail just shy of $300). Intriguingly, if you really peer in close you’ll also notice what looks like a body chain laying over the back of her bikini bottoms. It’s a look

It’s a look Rihanna sports frequently, but not something we expected from Tay.
