One Pieces- Not Your Mother’s Swimsuit


Thanks to modern twists, one pieces are no longer conservative swimsuits of the ‘50s.  Sexy cutouts, ruffles and hardware make the one piece look nothing like your grandma’s swimsuit. Heck the monokinis of 2010 show more skin than your fav itsy bitsy bikini. The catch – its strategic design flatters and highlights your figure in all the right places. We at SwimSpot like to call it monokini magic!

Still not sold that a one piece is sexy? I wasn’t either at first, but have been persuaded now. Check out Ri Ri’s monokini spiced up with gold ring connectors. They add that little bit of an edge, perfect for her eclectic style.  Lindsay’s suit combines a sexy silhouette with girly ruffles. Our fav you ask?! The Guess – Chain Gang Cut Out One Piece. It has just enough coverage over the tum-tum to hide that dessert you ate last night! Which we all have to indulge in a little dessert once in awhile!

         

 

Want a pop of color? Check out Leighton Meester’s electric blue 1 piece suit. This fashionista knows what’s hot. I absolutely love Leighton’s style, whether she’s on screen or out and about. Our Gossip Girl couples her Upper East Side sophistication with bright colors, showing just enough skin for a sophisticated fun flirty look. Get the Gossip Girl’s style by sporting Leighton’s vivid blue Waldo Stripe One Piece Cut Out from Ella Moss. It’s flirty and fun, even for the Upper East Side!

   

So ladies, lesson learned – one pieces aren’t just for the 40+ now. Be sure to make your mark with a monokini for 2010. I already have mine purchased and will be sporting it poolside in Palm Springs this weekend! I’m sure my fab four will be jealous!

XoXo,

Nikki

  • Look Good, Feel GoodFall is finally here! Time to dig up those scarves, boots, and cardigans buried deep inside your closet. In terms of fashion, this is definitely my favorite time of year – I especially love the bold pops of color that are trending this season. And of course, the layers! But unfortunately, being bundled up in sweaters and coats doesn’t quite give me the motivation to work out. I won’t be sporting a bikini any time soon anyways so what’s the point, right? Wrong! We’re all aiming for that perfect beach body once Spring rolls along, so why not start working for it now? Getting toned and fit is a gradual process—although I’m sure we all wish it would happen overnight. Swimsuit season will be coming around the corner before you know it, so save yourself from the intense dieting and exercise the week before spring break and start now!

This slimming one piece suit sports an underwire feature to provide optimal support, comfort, and fit. The white straps create a great contrast against the navy and the sweetheart neckline sets an irresistible modern twist on this maillot. To cover up, try Nautica's Under the Sea Tunic. The white and navy stripe print of the tunic perfectly compliments the solid suit, creating a chic sailor look.
