For most collegiette’s™, the words “one-piece bathing suit” cause them to conjure up images of their grandma hanging out by the pool in Florida. But don’t be fooled into thinking that the one-piece is reserved for those who are self concious or swimming laps. These days, one-pieces come in thousands of different styles that will flatter absolutely any body type.
The obvious reason for women to wear one-pieces is if they’re self conscious about their mid section. While this is absolutely true, other body types can benefit from the one-piece. If you’ve got an hourglass figure, consider a one-piece – they create a great silhouette for girls with larger hips or chests and smaller waists. For those of you who are shorter, find a French cut one-piece that has higher-cut leg holes. These reveal more of your hips and create the illusion that you’re taller! Big-busted girls can opt for a wrap style suit, or plunging necklines that will minimize their breast size. Smaller chested women should choose one-pieces with ruffles or rouching near their upper half. And believe it or not, avoiding high necklines and revealing more skin around your collarbones can actually make you look slimmer.
From super basic to incredibly risqué, here are some of examples of some great, unqiue one pieces.
