One of my favorite things about summer is of course the fashion. From sarongs to cute rompers to sun hats, summer fashion is still trending for the next few months. Beach days and time spent in the sun also means looking fashionable and keeping cool even on the hottest days. Bathing suits have always been a fashion concept and the era of swimwear has changed a lot over the years. I remember trends, age appropriate wear, and even risque swim wear through the years, but I’ve always loved one type of bathing suit because to me it’s classy, fun, and simple.

Fun and playful sayings are always popular and really get a good laugh.

One piece bathing suits are hot! I’m not talking about the old lady kinds with the skirt or even the kind of one piece you’d sport at a swim meet. I’m talking about the one piece that has personality, shows some skin, and really elevates your curves more so than a bikini ever could. Trust me, I love a cute bikini with frills, maybe a cheeky look, but there is something extra special about a one piece that really captures the essence of summer.

For years, I always gravitated towards bikinis because I just assumed one pieces were for more of a mature person. Boy, was I wrong! About a year ago, I was out shopping with my mom and wanted to check out Forever 21 because who doesn’t love a graphic tee? Even though I’m in my 30s, I have no problem sporting vintage style tees at a super affordable price! On my way out, I noticed a sale rack with patterned one pieces that really caught my eye. If you know me and my sense of fashion, I’m more of a risk taker. I love loud prints, funky shoes, and vivid colors…it must be a personality thing.

Found these funky prints at Forever 21 and even Marshalls. You can really add an element of fashion with a fun print filled with hot chili peppers or even jellyfish baccause why not?

Anywho, Forever 21 had tons of adorable and creative patterns in one pieces and I knew I needed to try at least one. Not only did the suit fit perfectly, it made me feel sexy and trendy all at once which meant, um, I had to buy every print they had! From chili peppers to octopus patterns to floral designs, Forever 21 started me on the one piece craze. At $9.99 each, how could I not load up on summer fun?

Now that I realized how much I enjoyed the feeling of a one piece, I made it a point to always check out stores to see if they had some waiting for me. Stores like Marshalls, Walmart, and T.J. Maxx were perfect places to pick up a few more suits with fun prints, hilarious statements, and even sexy cutouts. Every time I sport one of my unique one pieces, I always get compliments on how great the pattern is and to me, that’s better than any teeny tiny bikini.

Cut out style swimwear is really popular and adds a sexy element to any one piece.

The next time you decide to have fun in the sun, opt for a fun and playful one piece. With tons of options at bargain stores, you’ll be the most fashionable gal at any beach party.
