Once reserved for conservative beach-goers (and hitting the lap pool) one-piece swimsuits have become sexier than ever this Summer. Trade in your two piece for a mailot with strategic cut-outs or eye-catching prints that will serve you just as well by the water or poolside cocktails when paired with shorts.
With so many styles available, here’s our guide to finding the best one-piece to best flatter your figure!
COLOUR BLOCKING
Look for colour block designs (above) with solid bottoms and printed tops. This will help to balance out your bottom-half and put all the attention on your amazing torso and cleavage.
THE WIRE BRA
We all need a little support, especially if you have a larger bust. A wire and straps can be a lifesaver at the poolside. The vertical lines create a long, slender line and the demi-cup shapes your bust.
THE RUCHE EFFECT
The illusion of more curves (above) is easily done using a top with gathering and bright colors. Strategically placed on your bottom-half, the ruching will enhance your derriere and show off your lean back.
PRINTED PANELS
To balance out your figure (above) when you have broader shoulders, choose a suit with printed panels along the side to help create the illusion of an hourglass figure. The gathers in the middle and near the neckline reveal your best assets.
THE HIGH CUT SUIT
Bold, solid colors (above) are great for showing off your curvy silhouette. To ensure that your legs look a mile long, go for suits with high cuts in the leg.
