How to Rock that One Piece

Hi lovlies!! Today's post is super exciting for me and despite the title, completely worry free. If you're swimsuit style of choice is a bikini or tankini, I say work it! However, according to the Huffington Post: "In a poll of 2,321 women in the U.S., 53 percent said they plan on wearing a one-piece bathing suit on the beach this year, while 29 percent said they'll go with a tankini. Only 18 percent of women said they plan on donning a bikini this summer.  Of the women choosing one-pieces, 57 percent say they made that choice because 'it suits my body shape' versus nine percent who say they 'prefer this style of swimsuit.' "
Another wonderful benefit- one pieces will put the focus on your legs, elongating them and making them the focus. Also, with so many patterns, prints, styles and colors, the possibilities and fits are endless. See below for some tips and styles to try!
1. This is perfect for curvy girls who love prints and standing out! The style is so Marilyn Monroe-esque. The little cutout at the top will also put some focus on your chest.

2. This one is perfect for swimming laps and looking cute. This may also be a favorite with someone who has a  simple style, or a girly-girl because of the black color and white ruffle at the top. This is great for athletic, muscular girls with broad should, because the side shoulder and frilly detail make it more girly.

3. Number three is the ultimate piece to "slim" you. The black side strips will instantly make you look slimmer and even taller.

4. This one is my personal favorite because of the adorable peplum, neckline and colors/print. If your hips are your problem area, definitely check out peplums!

5. Number five is perfect to highlight your waistline and the black and white stripes will help slim you as well! This one is also good for busty girls, because the chest part is not super structured and is looser.

I hope this post helped you all out and gave you some motivation to give a one-piece a chance, or ideas if you already rock them! Thanks for reading loves!
XOXO,
Emily
