(One) Piece On Earth

No matter what shape your body is in, you can rejoice over the comeback of the one-piece swimsuit — the style that Princess Diana made cool over a decade ago.

Forget the tankini, the swimdress, and all the other styles that make you look like you’ve got something to hide. Go vixen and get a one piece that leaves a little, or a lot, to the imagination.

Haltered Up: Longtime beach-queen, Venus Swimsuits, takes the halter to another level by cutting the neckline low and putting a sheer wrap around the waist. Their backless one-piece goes for $59.95-69.95 on venus.com.

Cutting it Out: Instead of being a cutout tease, the Jewel Halter Top for $148 on victoriassecret.com has cutouts on the stomach so deep that only part of your midsection that's actually covered is the belly-button. Carabella Swimsuits, which can be found on swimsuits.com, also has a white, might-as-well-be-a-bikini cutout suit with fabric strings attaching the top and bottom for $99.95.

See, No Straps: Strapless one-pieces are the hotness, but it’s also important to make sure the wave doesn’t ride the top of your suit down. To enjoy the style worry-free, go for something secure like the Belted Bandeau swimsuit in white on Newport-News.com. At just $34, the black belt around the waist and black piping will keep eyes on you.

So go grab your one piece and hang ten.
