In January, Rosie Huntington Whitely was spotted wearing a body chain on the beach. It was ignored, because Rosie seems like a lovely girl who makes great fashion choices. But this week, Rihanna’s been wearing one under her white string bikini while vacationing in Barbados. Like Rosie’s, it’s thin, delicate, and barely visible. The weirdest part? We kind of like it. In theory, the body chain sounds like the worst kind of accessory. A few years ago, when Bliss Lau debuted her line of body jewelry, the idea of wearing one over an outfit, like a chunky necklace or chain belt, suddenly made sense. But we never imagined a day when we’d want to wrap our bodies in long gold chains to hop on a jet ski—until now. The best way to keep the accessory from veering into cheesy territory is to invest in fine jewelry (which you’ll have to do anyway if you actually want to swim). In the meantime, for purely experimental purposes, play around with this one from ASOS, or this sling one from Kallisti (which looks like it could be wrapped to mimic Rihanna’s).
