One-Piece Swimsuits That Are Sexier Than A Bikini

It wasn’t long ago that one-piece swimsuits were boring, unflattering, and a bit… well, a little old lady. But recently they’ve completely evolved and can actually be sexier (and more fashionable!) than a bikini. The extra fabric doesn’t only provide extra coverage, it also leaves more opportunity for interesting elements and textures to make your beach look fashion forward. Not so long ago, I did a roundup of “9 Swimsuit Styles That Will Be Huge This Summer” and out of all the styles, you guys have made me realized how sexy a one-piece can actually be!

So before you get a bikini for your first trip to the beach this summer, take a look at these one-piece swimsuits that a totally sexy, just like a bikini!

Laced Up

Lace-up details add a lingerie-like twist to an otherwise basic and classic one-piece swimsuit. Some lace-ups are on the sides, some in the back, and some reveal some cleavage. There are so many options so you can find one that suits your style and reveals an area you’re comfortable with.

Off-the-shoulder

Tie in spring and summer’s biggest trend this season into your swimwear with an off-the-shoulder suit! It’s so chic and feminine and looks good in solid or in a pattern. You can go for a suit with one-sleeve, or a complete off the shoulder. Bonus points if it has ruffles!

Sheer is a trend that’s not going away anytime soon, and for good reason. Sheer panels instantly add a sexy element to any look. Panels can be anywhere on one-piece swimsuits, so you can pick one with sheer panels in places that will make you feel confident.

Go nautical with some stripes! Stripes in a bold and bright color are super beauty and will make your sense of style shine.

Low-back

What better way to show off some skin in a modest, more comfortable way? A one-piece with a low back is a fun, sexy surprise. Covered in the front, but revealing in the back. I love the low backed suits that basically look like a bikini from behind.

Scalloped

You’ve probably noticed that scallops are so on-trend right now. Scallops add so much more interest to the most basic items in your wardrobe, like a little black dress. Spice up a basic black one-piece with some scallops, and you’ll look so effortlessly sexy that you’ll basically feel like you’re wearing a bikini!

Floral Patterned

Bright floral patterns were pretty much made to be on swimsuits. And the great thing about a one-piece is that they show more pattern and less skin than a bikini! There are so many varieties—from polka dots to florals to tropical to cute critters, there’s definitely one out there for you.
