Tan lines included! Racy swimwear is mocked online for its VERY impractical and barely-there design - so would you wear it?
- An Australian swimwear line has released a very provocative one-piece
- The laser cut Liana can be worn as a swimsuit or bodysuit for nights out
- The racy style features a full thong bikini cut and comes in orange, white or black
As the days grow longer and temperatures get hotter, Australians are starting to dream of the nation's favourite location: the beach.
And quick off the mark, Australian swimwear line Karen Hurley is already promoting its luxury summer collection which features a particularly provocative one-piece called the Liana.
The racy style promises to 'set hearts pumping' with its geometric laser cut front and perilously high cut sides.

Modesty doesn't come into play at the rear either, with a scanty thong offering hardly any coverage to the posterior.
Retailing at $99, the Liana is available in three shades - orange, white and black.
It comes made to order in a heavyweight, scuba stretch fabric.

The Liana has been seen on Sydney Fashion Blogger - aka Antoinette Marie - who shared a sultry mirror selfie in the one-piece with her one million Instagram followers.
But while some loved the sexy swimwear, others were baffled by the panels and cut of the garment.
'Interesting tan lines!,' one woman wrote.

Others tagged their friends, joking: 'Imagine the tan lines in this!'
Controversial swimwear trends are taking centre stage this season with underboob bikinis and full thong swimsuits seen all over social media.
Australian influencers including fitness sensation Tammy Hembrow and designer Sahara Ray are long-time devotees of saucy swimwear, regularly rocking racy styles on their much-followed Instagram feeds.
