One-Piece Swimwear: When & Where?

Hello Darlings, A girl never knows when a fashion dilemma may strike! Sometime between a lunch hour and online shopping for a new luggage set, I stumbled upon a beautiful selection of vivid We Are Handsome swimwear pieces on sale. For those not familiar with the brand, they became famous for their animal faced and lifelike photography swimwear. Their swimsuits are stunning but come with a steep price tag in the range of $230 and $500. Naturally, the sale was welcome especially since the timing was no issue.

While I was browsing through a selection of the tiniest bikinis with the cutest hues of baby blues and pinks, I came across a somewhat of an unusual piece. A beautiful one-piece swimsuit with a large tiger face, gathered side panels and an open back! Despite starting a three-way conversation on WhatsApp with two of the closest girls, I was sold on the idea of a one piece for reasons still unknown. While my friends were not fond of the “big face”, I loved it even more for the very reason that they didn’t. It was different! The whole thing was simply different and unlike anything I already owned.

While in South Beach just a few weeks ago, I was surrounded by the world’s largest selection of barely-there ensembles. Myself including I picked up a new little The Oasis Strong Bikini number from We Are Handsome for my weekend getaway. I do love bikinis but there was something alluring about the one-piece. I figured that while a bikini is great for lounging, a one piece is great for activities or anything that requires movement. From a water park to surf classes, snorkeling or even a walk down the beach with just a pair of shorts on, a one-piece just seems more practical. Perhaps a flawed theory, it is one that I will definitely put to the test during the next beach vacation.

What’s your take, when you do you prefer to wear a one-piece swimsuit?

With Love…
