These One-Piece Swimsuits Will Turn Heads

I’m very particular about my swimwear. For starters, you’ll never catch me in a low-rise bikini bottom. And forget about revealing stomach cutouts. Out of all the many, many options out there, I always feel my best and most confident in a one-piece swimsuit. I needn’t worry about an accidental peek-a-boo moment or the straps on a string bikini becoming undone. Plus, as someone with incredibly fair skin (I’m Scottish and Irish), there’s less of a chance of my back getting fried. On the same page? If so, I’d highly recommend adding a few more styles to your assortment this summer, because the silhouettes on the market right now are better than ever, according to this longtime one-piece enthusiast.

In the print department, labels are zeroing in on stripes, zebra, polka dots, and, if you’re Lisa Says Gah, caviar motifs (very on-brand for the kitschy company, no?). Swimwear powerhouses are also proving how a girly detail can completely transform a one-piece — Same launched a look adorned with rosettes along the neckline, while Damson Madder released a style featuring ruffled straps. And for those who are partial to pared-back, no-fuss designs, Tropic Of C’s black skinny strap style is a must — think of it as a LBOP (little black one piece ... doesn’t have the best ring to it, but that’s OK).
