This fun off shoulder one piece swimsuit has lovely details such as the ruffle flounce style and the lacy criss-cross front. The straps are also removable so you can change how it looks.

While probably not the best shape for tan lines, this type of suit will still perfectly pair with an outfit. A pareo around your waist for a poolside party is a great choice, for example.
For lunch or shopping during the day, add soft chinos, a cute bag, and strappy sandals to complete your stylish outfit. It’s a feminine and flirty look no matter how you wear it.

These are the best type of suits to mimic regular tops. Try layering under a set of overalls. I love overalls as a young, fun, and casual take on the jumpsuit.
This white pair would be great for any summer vacation; they instantly spruce up simple tees and are comfortable for long days of wear. Simple slides, stud earrings, and a trendy bag complete the look.

I have a hard time finding one piece suits that fit my long torso but have recently found that Boden and Summersalt both have great options that are super comfy too!
Two pieces might be more versatile.

#3 and #5 are not practical. In theory, one-piece swimsuits whould be versatile. But in practice, they don’t work with skirts. You forgot about going to bathroom. So 1-pc swimsuits will work with pants, and shorts….
Thanks for reading LuLu and thank you for your input. Always appreciate different opinions! Definitely something to keep in mind with bathroom trips. Safe travels!
All you have to do is lift up your skirt and slide over the crotch part of the swimsuit. 🙂
