Editor Picks From The 2017 One-Piece Swim Guide!

It’s almost that time of year, Mamas.  That glorious, no-school, stay-up-late, drinks on the beach, sand on the feet, ice cream every night…that time of year.

Usually we launch our swim guide around Mother’s Day, but last year you told us, in no uncertain terms, that Mother’s Day was too late.  Finding a swimsuit requires time.  And commitment.  A few weeks in May isn’t going to cut it.

So without further ado, our 2017 One-Piece Swim Guide is available now.  It includes the best one-piece suits for post-partum and nursing, the best one-piece suits for covering up that loose skin around your belly button (if you care – and we really don’t), the most supportive suits for the large chested, the sexiest suits for the mama who doesn’t take life too seriously, and the best surf suits for playing hard with the kiddos.

And because there are So. Many. Suits. To. Choose. From…..our personal favs, our Editor Picks, can be found below.

(ps.  Our Bikini guide will be launching in a few weeks….)

1. Mara Hoffman Vela Striped Cut-out Swimsuit – The design of this suit is a little nuts, but I LOVE it.  So playful and flirty, and totally outside of my norm.  SWOON.

2.Solid and Striped Anne-Marie One-Piece – So nonchalant French-girl, and so good.

3. Cali Dreaming Messier One-Piece Swimsuit – I’m obsessed with this seriously sexy suit.  I love the contrast straps, the bright blue color, the flattering v-neck, and that GORGEOUS back.  Also available in a chic gray-and-white combo.  Wow.

4. Blue Life Seaside One-Piece – I love how this suit looks so girl-next-door….but is crazy, wildly sexy.

5. Ripcurl Boy-leg Spring Suit – I rely on these lightweight wetsuits for surfing and boogie boarding with my little guys.  The ocean is never quite warm enough for me, so I find I play longer and harder if I’m dressed for it.  I have one with traditional length shorts….but I’m loving how sexy this one is.

6. Vitamin A Bianca Halter Suit in Copper – I don’t normally go for earth tones…..but I think this suit might look amazing all summer with tan sandals, bag, and cutoff shorts.  I’d add a delicate, gold necklace.  Done.

1. Color-Code One Piece Swimsuit – okay, hello. This one is SEXY. I am really loving the deep cut one piece suits this year, but specifically ones that hold my small, droopy friends up top…ya know? Also, totally chic in black. My husband and I are trying to get away for a few days (JUST US. what?) and I am thinking a suit like this would be a good one to pack.

1. Seea’s Cambria One Piece – I absolutely adore Seea’s retro inspired suits designed by an Brazilian designer and avid surfer , their functional AND fresh. It’s is perfect for the fun loving active swimmer and if you love the vintage floral print as much as I do, check out Seea’s Karina One Piece for another vintage inspired suit.

2. Tommy Hilfiger Women’s Signature Stripe Cut-Out High Neck One Piece Swimsuit –  I would say I’m usually the least preppy one of the TME gang, but this Signature Tommy Hilfiger is a standout swimsuit in my book: classic, simple & sporty. 

3. Topshop’s Scallop One-Piece Swimsuit – There are some seriously stunning swimsuits out there but I just can’t with the $300 price tags… So This Topshop one-piece is right up my alley at $60 (if you’re not looking to sell a kidney to buy a swimsuit this year…)

4. Ted Baker Women’s Frillay One Shoulder Neoprene Ruffle One Piece Swimsuit – I really love the ruffled off shoulder one pieces like Eberjey’s So Solid Margarita One Piece  but I worry about weird tan lines and ta-ta support/coverage, so this ted baker one shoulder is the perfect compromise, you still get the boho look and the  support!

5. Becca’s Prairie Rose Crochet One-Piece Swimsuit – You can’t go wrong with a Becca swimsuit, they’re one of Nordstrom’s highest rated and most popular swimwear designers. They specialize in sexy, sheer lace suits like this one, a style that I think is going to be absolutely everywhere over the next few summers.

1.  Araks Asymmetrical One Piece – You need to see the back of this suit . . . the bow and one-shoulder is gorgeous.  This would look so awesome with a bright sarong maxi skirt.

2. Becca by Rebecca Virtue One Piece Plunge – The straps are adjustable AND the waist can be tied to your desired tightness.  Love the detail and plunging neck. 

3. O’Neill Salt Water Solids One-Piece – I usually stick to black, but I’m loving this bright blue color.  The adjustable back makes it easier to get the right fit . . . also in a taupe-grey color.  I ordered a large but it was too big, so I recommend going true to size.

4. Vitamin A ‘Neutra’ One-Piece – This is sexy . . . I love the strappy back and the deep plunge.  This is the one I ended up keeping . . . it’s very flattering but runs small.  I got a size 10 (I’m usually a size 6/28) and it fits!

5. Becca by Rebecca Virtue One Piece Plunge – I love that you can adjust both the length and tightness of the straps . . . adjustability is key for a good fit in a one piece.  This is also available in a cool sea green or a light orange color that would look great with a tan! 

1.  Becca Havana One-Piece Swimsuit – This amazing one-piece gets rave reviews from ladies with larger busts. Cool modern cut with a plunge that won’t cause a wardrobe malfunction, not frumpy! The colors are rich and gorgeous in person.

2.  Gottex Cocktail Party One-Piece Swimsuit – So flattering – from the front ruching to gloss over any tummy woes and “safe plunge” that keeps it interesting, to the sexy low back, this suit gets an A+. Plus wide straps to keep the girls up, pretty and practical! Fit notes say size up one size.

3. Modcloth Twist Come True One-Piece in Spruce – The green color is so uniquely pretty and looks good on lots of skin tones, and the twist detail over the stomach is so elegant (and clever!) There’s a safe plunge and enough side/bum coverage you can build sandcastles with the kids without showing off more than you meant to. (now 40% off!)

4. Trina Turk Algiers One-Piece Swimsuit – Wow, I’m in love with this bold graphic print! Rave reviews for style and bust support, plus no worries about flashing someone when you bend over to wrangle the kids. So fetch. (Update: I saw this one in person and the fabric is even more amazing.)

5. Modcloth Here Comes Ruffle One-Piece – Really gorgeous print and feminine, flattering cut. The halter top looks supportive and the back is so pretty.

 

1. J.Crew One-shoulder one-piece swimsuit in classic stripe: I adore stripes and I adore Jcrew suits. This is a great suit! SO cute and classic. Comes in navy and white stripe, as well.

2. Kenneth Cole Tough Luxe Crochet Hi Neck Mio:  I included this in my hi-neck swimwear post, but I can’t get over it. It’s soooo gorgeous. I found additional colors on Amazon, too!

3. Vince Camuto Fiji Wrap Suit: I love the detail on this. It’s interesting but covers the tummy area. Comes in olive, blue and coral, too. SO pretty.

4.  Ted Baker London Illiana Mesh Detail Suit: I think if I had to pick one swimsuit designer to wear the rest of my life it would be Ted Baker. The suits are so gorgeously stunning with amazing lines. This is no exception.

5. Ted Baker London Persian One-Piece – Again with the Ted Baker…this gorgeousness needs to be mine, but I don’t have any upcoming plans for warm weather. I may have to make some just for this suit. I die.

1. Norma Kamali Chuck One-Piece –  So, this one is probably most out of my comfort zone and not something I’d typically buy BUT I love the color, and the cut-outs keep it from being too dowdy-looking. It’s different than most that are out there, and that’s always a good thing.

2. Nanette Lepore Damask Floral One-Piece – Give me anyyyything Nanette Lepore. This dark floral suit (that could do double time as a top) looks elegant but young at the same time.

3. Norma Kamali Racer Mio One-Piece – I’m a sucker for suits that can be a shirt first, bathing suit later. On vacay I would pair this with some white cut offs  and do a little brunchin’ before the beach.

4. Robin Piccone Ava One-Piece  – Robin Piccone gets me every season with the perfect earth tones, textures and cuts. She does simple (always my preference) SO well.

5. Victoria’s Secret Lace-Up Front One-Piece – VS is always sneaky amazing for swim…not sure why they’re discontinuing their regular line of it (sob!) BUT…PINK is still doing suits. I love the bright, neon color of this one and that lace-up front can adjust to show less or more.
