The ’70s jumpsuit, the backless romper, the Hervé Léger bandage dress that elegantly kisses every curve—sometimes the chicest things come in one piece. While picking out sizzling swimwear for this summer, I found myself gravitating toward our one-piece category. Sure there are a bevy of bikinis that’ll raise the mercury along with the eyebrows of my fellow beachgoers, but the directional designs of this season’s one-piece swimsuits are a singular paradise all their own.
It wasn’t long ago that a one-piece was about as cool as a pair of mom jeans, but designers have taken the basic maillot and cut it out, ripped it up, played with its proportions, and added edgy embellishments like grommets and studs. Tigerlily swimwear shows how to sun like a Brazilian bombshell with the sultry crisscrossing of the Consuelo one-piece, while L*Space makes quite a splash with the boho-sexy Stardust one-piece. Zimmermann swimwear, Melissa Odabash, and Red Carter each translate top trends into water-friendly wear: the first with an evening-inspired lattice neckline, the second with a high-gloss snake-print number, and the third with a slashed tee effect that’s 100% rock-n-roll.
