Not Your Mother's One-Piece
Underwire Equipped
This suit has a rich leaf and flower pattern that recalls African textiles. Graham Kandiah, $144.
Curve-Friendly
Shirring and peekaboo details make this maillot very old-Hollywood (Marilyn would have loved it). Tomas Maier, $380.
Standout Color
Stand out from wimpy pastels in a wine-hued suit; gathers under the breast make a flat chest seem fuller. Syla by Sylvie Cachay, $275.
A Long, Slender Silouette
This wrap-style halter steals the giraffe's distinctive markings and helps you to imitate its long, slender silhouette. Jantzen, $128.
Take the Bo Derek Plunge
This sexy maillot has a daringly deep V (which is best for the small and the firm); ruching at the shoulders adds elegance. Eres, $417.
Trim Your Shape
Trim your sails—and your shape—with a nautical belted swimsuit from a line pegged to five common body types. Lori Coulter TrueMeasure, $195.
French Country Meets Paradise
French country meets Paradise Island in a toile print with a splash of hot pink floral embroidery. Rosa Chá, $230.
Loads of Uplift
Razzle-dazzle rules when golden morning glories wind up the side of a sleek suit; the wide band gives loads of uplift. Lenny, $207.
Glam Enough for After Dark
Black-on-white botanicals outlined with beading define a suit that's glam enough for after dark. Hermanny by ViX, $152.
