One word for the one-piece: WHOA!  Emerging as a hot trend for the 2012 swim season is the maillot swimsuit.  Maillot, the French term referring to a one piece swimsuit, flatters most body types while offering a sense of comfort.  These modest yet chic swimsuits are all the rave this season and they come in all different styles, colors, and patterns.  From deep v-necklines, to asymmetrical straps, to halters and bandeau suits, the maillot suit has taken the swimsuit world by storm.  Any woman can rock a maillot! 

Take a look at our Whoa Maillot Trend Video to get a glimpse inside the trend

Here are 3 of our favorite maillot suits!

Stay classy and chic this season is the LUXE By Lisa Vogel Decadence Maillot.  Simple and sleek in solid black, this one-piece evokes sophistication and elegance with a sexy edge.  The intricate braiding detail in the back spices up the maillot while the braided straps in front flatter your bust.  Accentuate your finest features in this one-piece!

One-piece and one strap.  We are all about the Royal Asymmetrical One Piece Bathing Suit by Hurley this season.  The bright blue color is perfect to stand out at the beach, pool, or wherever the summer takes you.  The asymmetrical triple strap adds that extra edginess to the maillot.  We can’t wait to rock this look!

If you are looking to be fun and flirty this season, check out the Ella Moss Jewel Box Asymmetrical One Piece.  The paisley print exudes a playful sense and top off the girly look with a classic bow on one strap.  The keyhole detail on the back brings in a little flare while you’re frolicking in your suit.  You should feel excited to put on your swimsuit and this Ella Moss one-piece will do just that!
