In recent years one piece swimsuits have regained a lot of popularity after having a lull during the early 2000s. In fact the humble one piece could well now be a challenger to the classic favorite, the bikini, in terms of style and popularity!

But what does it really take to pull off wearing a one piece swimsuit? Are there any tips that one can follow? The answer is yes! Let’s take a look:

Black swimsuit

1. As in most items, a simple black swimsuit is going to look amazing and flatter all body shapes. If in doubt this is the color one piece t-shirt you should choose, however if black isn’t your thing then try other colors, or even color block one or two colors for a sporty look. You should avoid busy prints though, as on the larger surface of a one piece these will be a bit too much

 

1. Choose a square neckline for a retro, but feminine style. You’ll still show a hint of cleavage, but won’t be letting it all hang out like in a more-revealing bikini.

 

1. Shoulder straps will give you plenty of support. Straps also offer a look that’s a mixture of athletic and resort, and those with larger busts should simply choose wider straps, as the wider the strap, the more support is given. Also pay attention to the back of the swimsuit as, believe it or not, this also has an impact on the support you’re given. If it’s too high you may feel a little warm and constricted, whereas if it’s too low it won’t be supportive. The best back-line would probably be in the middle of your back, for a good compromise between comfort and support.

 

1. The high cut one piece, think Pamela Anderson in Baywatch, is NOT the way forward. These days the style you need to go for is the lower cut hipster bottom. This is a flattering and fun touch that’s really stylish right now.

 

1. Keep the fun going away from the beach! You can actually wear your one piece away from the beach, for instance if you’re going for a spot of lunch. Simply team it up with a short skirt and some strappy sandals for a really chic après beach look.

If you still aren’t convinced that a one piece is for you then consider these points. They’re super flattering for any girl’s shape, so if you’re at all unsure about your figure then it’s a great style in terms of giving you confidence.

It’s also a really sporty style, so if you’re a fan of swimming then why not make a splash at the pool with an Olympic style one piece swimsuit?

One Piece Swimwear – Classy, Elegant and Sexier Than Ever – The Perfect Swimsuit For You

One piece swimwear is back in fashion as women all over the world are realizing that modesty doesn’t have to mean zero sex appeal. Modern one-piece swimsuits have come a long way from knitted wool talks of the 1920’s.

The runways of Paris reveal we haven’t quite lost that love of everything retro in one-piece bathing suits with many referencing the Hollywood belles of the 1940′ and 50’s including the forever glamorous Marilyn Munroe and Betty Garble.

Low v-necklines and vertical seams at the bust line are helping to make this year’s swimwear more flattering than ever before, demonstrating that covering up a little can be just as alluring as an itsy bitsy bikini.

In fact women often feel more comfortable and confident, therefore omitting more sex appeal in a one piece.

This season it’s all about details and embellishments. The higher end one-pieces tend to look more “bling” than bland with beading, sequins and studs. Rings, buckles, bows and ruffles also give suits a retro style. Keep a look out for suits with asymmetrical detailing like big rings or buckles on only one hip or shoulder.

Swimwear lovers can get a more sophisticated style by keeping the suit simple and classic. But not every one-piece reveals an unblemished silhouette. This is to some extent because one-pieces can be tricky to fit properly, mainly do to the fact that many women are different sizes on the top and bottom.

Another variation to the one piece swimsuit, the tankini, solves this problem by allowing customers the cover of a one piece while being able to opt for separate top and bottom sizes.

The most recent take on the classic one piece are now referred to as monokinis and are popping up everywhere brought on by Paris Hilton’s sexy Carls Jr advertisement.

Desperate housewives

Even the stars of desperate housewives, one of the sexiest shoes on television, decided to ditch the bikinis and grace the cover of Vanity Fair in various one piece swimsuits, cementing their spot in celebrity culture.

Other stars in recent times to catch the eyes of the paparazzi in their one pieces were Penelope Cruz in an Ermes Red Swimsuit with ring detail and Katie Holmes in her infamous black belted one piece.

So all you die hard bikini fans out there, why not try a one-piece swimsuit or at least add it to your vacation swimwear wardrobe, after all a change is as good as a holiday.
