This season, ditching the bikini trend and going for a more modest one piece is the latest rave. One piece swimsuits practically flatter every body type, without looking too covered up. A bonus is wearing these pieces under your summer dresses and skirts as a versatile piece for more fun and creativity!
We have gathered the top styles and trends that are bound to appear in the summer of 2020, and there are plenty to choose from.
Animal Print & Citrus Colors
Animal print has been around for a few years now, and show no signs of slowing down. Summer 2020 will be filled with these bold prints. The new twist is the latest colour craze of yellows and oranges on one piece swimwear with leopard, cheetah, and zebra patterns and prints. These colours flatter a lot of skin tones, with or without a tan, and contrast beautifully with animal prints, veering away from traditional animal layouts.
Retro
Vintage-inspired one piece swimsuits are going back to the original designs. Inspired by Golden age models like Marylin Monroe and Ava Gardner, this cut is making a major comeback. The cut is inspired by the 1950s and comes in a wide range of sizes and high cuts. A lot of women find this swimwear style, in particular, to be very flattering to the silhouette and very comfortable to swim and lounge in.
Plunge
Swimwear with deep plunge lines is high on 2020’s list of trends. This sexy one piece is for the bolder types and also comes in an array of skin-baring cuts and front and back plunges. You can find ones with full lining or removable cup pads. While this is a one piece, it can border a tankini depending on the cut-out sizes and is a perfect compromise between a one piece and bikini.
Ruffles
If you are looking for a more romantic and feminine style, ruffles are the way to go. Ruffles are very in and also helps with coverage. Off the shoulder ruffles or wait ruffles go a long way in hiding anything you don’t want to bring attention to while offering a flattering and dreamy silhouette that looks great on all shapes and sizes.
Off Shoulder
This one piece style is one of the most versatile. It can incorporate a lot of the previous trends while in itself being a standalone style. Depending on your preference you can find a one-shoulder off swimsuit, or a strapless tight bandeau style that flatters a smaller bust, or a full off shoulder ruffle that can double as a sexy top paired with a skirt or shorts to wear from the beach to the city.
There are many sultry and fun one pieces that you will be able to find for the new season. With the summer season closing in, start browsing the different trends to see which one will work for you and flatters you the most. The best part is that you can incorporate more than one trend and style into one swimsuit and you are ready to go!
