If we’re judging by the some most stylish girls in the game—Karlie Kloss, Emily Ratajkowski, and Gigi Hadid, to name a few—it’s clear that you don’t need to sport an itty-bitty bikini to look like a complete beach babe (even though they sometimes do that, too). More and more we’re seeing models, actresses, and the most fashionable bloggers opting for more covered-up swimwear for a look that’s chic and cool, but still just as show-stopping as more skin-baring styles. And one-piece suits aren’t necessarily synonymous with modesty: with sexy cut-outs, plunging necklines, or high-cut legs, there are many options that can still show off your best assets. That said, if you are trying to keep some bits covered, the one-piece is a great go-to solution. We’ve compiled a collection 10 styles that range from basic to bold and sporty to super feminine—one of which ought to suit your needs.
