There’s no doubting that one piece swimsuits have become a summer staple, whether you’re at the beach or hanging poolside. I think they’re the kind of style that is flattering, and there’s often different silhouettes available so you can find one that’s the most suitable to your shape. As with most things in the swimwear department though, it’s important to try on a few different shapes so you can pinpoint the one that works for you the best.
This summer, we’re definitely spoilt for choice as far as one piece swimsuits go! There’s a variety of styles out there, whether it’s a one shoulder look, a textured finish or a simple, yet classic minimalist feel. I’m quite a fan of keeping my swimsuits in solid, neutral colours because I find them easier to work back with outfits, plus it allows me to wear them away from the pool or the beach as bodysuits. However if you’re more of a prints and bold hues kind of girl, never fear because there’s definitely plenty out there that tick both boxes.
So, here are a few of the styles that should definitely be on your radar this summer…
The one shoulder
The one shoulder style is definitely trending this summer, but it’s also the kind of shape that’s going to last you for seasons to come. This kind of silhouette looks great worn as swimmers, but also as a bodysuit so you’ll definitely get plenty of use out of it.
The textured effect
Hunza G have really pioneered the crinkle cut/ribbed texture we’ve been seeing in swimsuits. This particular style is great as it suits virtually every body shape, and the crinkled effect is quite flattering.
The cut-out
We’ve been seeing cut-outs in clothing for awhile so it was only a matter of time until we would see them making an appearance in swimwear. This detail on a one piece adds a little edgy touch and helps add a statement feature.
The minimalist
I think a super, simple style such as this has a place in most people’s swimsuit repertoire. I tend to gravitate towards silhouettes like this as I like its elegance and simplicity. This is also a great one piece to have on hand as it easily transitions from beach to bar.
The halterneck
Halternecks have been around for ages and it’s one of the mainstay styles when it comes to one piece swimsuits. It also highlights the decolletage which is one of the most flattering aspects on a woman’s body.
The tie-up
Details are also important when it comes to swimwear. I like this simple tie-up style with the scalloped edges — it’s quite playful yet still has a classic feel.
The bandeau
For those wanting to avoid a tan line caused by pesky straps, the bandeau is for you! Love this style as it suits most shapes and it’s easily wearable away from the water. I like wearing them with a pair of loose trousers for an easy, breezy resortwear vibe.
