One-Piece Swimsuits Are All I Want To Wear In The Summer

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).

Check out 10 one-piece swimsuits on my summer shopping wishlist, below.

Jade SwimCalla One Piece

With a deep V-neck and ruching all over, this chocolate brown one-piece is anything but boring. Bonus: The straps are removable.

SameRosette Off Shoulder One Piece

Is this not the prettiest swimsuit you’ve ever seen? No need to reserve it for the pool — layer a breezy white midi skirt over the look for a dressy brunch.

Maygel CoronelVerve One Piece

Maygel Coronel’s suit here is one of the coolest, most unexpected silhouettes I’ve ever come across. With a neck scarf-like detail, it doesn’t even look like swimwear.

Dolla ParisLola Lava

I couldn’t tell you why, but I’m not the biggest fan of traditional black and white zebra print. However, I’m very much into this orange, green, and brown take on the timeless pattern.

Left On FridayCutback Suit

Word on the street is neon hues are coming back for fall. Get a head start on the trend with this Barbiecore-approved hot pink suit.

Lisa Says Gah Bo One Piece

Craving caviar? Perhaps slipping into Lisa Say’s Gah’s printed one-piece will satiate your appetite. It features a double-layered fabric for a comfortable, feel-good fit.

Tropic Of C The Sculpting C

As mentioned, owning a plain black one-piece is similar to a noir dress — it’s a wardrobe essential you’ll turn to time and time again. Made with compression fabric, Tropic Of C’s look will hug you in all the right places.

Damson MadderCheyenne Swimsuit$58

Though stripes are nothing new, I’ve been drawn to pieces with bold color palettes, such as this Damson Madder swimsuit. The ruffles are just the cherry on top of an already adorable look.

Heavy MannersCrème Brûlée The Reading Suit

I’d wear this white and brown two-tone style as a bodysuit with denim cutoffs. For an afternoon on the boardwalk, all the outfit needs is sunglasses and flip-flops.

SuncilloFrancesca Sparkly One-Piece

I’m a sucker for anything shimmery, and this sparkly one-piece from Suncillo is oh-so glamorous. You’re sure to be the best-dressed person on the beach.
