5. One-Piece: One-piece bathing suits used to stand for boring, conservative, and loser. Remember your middle school Speedo? Yes you do! But, not to worry because this is definitely not the case anymore! Now there are all kinds of exciting silhouettes to choose from that are flattering and sexy. From accented ruffles, prints, and hardware to daring cut-outs, peplum waists, and plunge necklines, one-pieces have come a long way. Mix up your swim wardrobe by adding a fierce one-piece to the mix.
