The one-piece swimsuit wins back its place in your wardrobe this season shoving back string bikini’s reign. Though there are some generously cut retro 1950s styles to offer, 2008’s one-piece swimsuits are unashamedly sexy, with racy prints and cutaway styles that make them a way more daring choice than the average bikini.

There’s at least one thing we can’t deny, the swimsuit has an elegance that a bikini can never get.

One-pieces have an allure simply because they are less obvious – covering up a little can be very sexy,”

says Melissa Odabash, a swimwear designer.

According to her, the secret to wearing a one-piece well is all about a careful choice of cut for your body and adding good accessories.

Asymmetric

It’s great on athletic bodies with defined shoulders. Asymmetric Greek-goddess-like necklines on dresses are all over the catwalks this season.

Gucci was among the first to extend the look to swimwear. This style can be accessorised according to your taste: look classically glamorous with gold jewelry or futuristic with a sporty visor; you can also add some bright nail polish if your one-piece is monochrome.

Cutaway

Symmetrical cutaway panels create the illusion of a slimmer waist, although if you are going to accentuate a particular area of flesh in this way, it needs to be fairly toned. You need to add earthy accessories to ensure you don’t look a way too tarty. You can wear a headscarf, for example, to add a touch of glam and chic.

Print

If brights aren’t your thing, opt for an animal print on your one-piece. You can also either opt for Emilio Pucci’s classic swirly prints, or for Matthew Williamson’s trademark vivid color prints. Add plain accessories to keep things balanced.

Fifties

Michael Kors says more covered-up styles are “unexpected and special on a younger woman.” The lither the physique, the more fabric you can get away with but still look fashionable. Designers are getting inspired by the 1950s style nowadays. Try a sweet polka-dot or simple black color with Hepburn-worthy soft ballet pumps and a wide-brimmed hat.

Riviera

Riviera chic is a trend you can rely upon every summer but still look fresh and trendy. It’s somewhere between movie-star glamour and the more wholesome nautical look. For a more relaxed look take a good old-fashioned woven bag, add Ralph Lauren sunglasses to look chic and posh.

Several fashion collections were debuted for the first time on the runways at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Miami Swim, which kicked off in South Beach on the grounds of the historic Raleigh hotel.

Designer Sylvie Cachay worked at Victoria’s Secret for seven years. Sylvie Cachay’s swimwear line, Syla, consisting of tropical printed swimsuits, sharply cut suits, oversize beach towels and matching sarongs debuted this past weekend at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Miami Swim.

Her swimsuits’ prints seem to be inspired by art deco and Chinese artistic influence of the eighteenth century.

Cachay, being a young fashion designer, managed to combine youth and history to create modern swimwear. Her collection looks really really cool.

Cachay said,

I’m a little fish who wants to be a big one”

I’m all about prints and colors”

Her suits aren’t fussed up with grommets, chains, charms and other details, she said. “They are really about fit.”

Top models wore plenty of jewelry, however, in the three-part show, which featured a segment of “WASPy, glamorous divas” followed by a group of “sexed-up hippie girls from the ’70s” and culminating in Syla suits and garb meant to evoke the image of an ’80s “punk rock chick” with a hint of the ’60s as well, Sylvie Cachay said.

A self-professed dyed-in-the-Lycra type, Cachay added black to her first runway collection. She said,

Plum was my black before this season”

Tommy Bahama fashion house presented its women’s swimsuit collection July 2008. The most impressing thing about the fashion line is that it’s all about large flowered prints with sexy but sporty cuts, something all chic girls will love to wear.

The line was resented on the beach, which is already something unusual and intriguing. Guests were watching the show from campfire benches.

Generally the collection was something made for a pretty wide range of audience. So you can feel at ease wearing a Tommy Bahama swim suit in Miami or hanging out by the pool in your low-key cottage house. It’s all about style and comfort.

Big Floppy hats will protect you from the sun. Bold blues and prints were the main theme of this series. Must have been inspired from the Havana shirts all the men wear on the golf courses.

Large over sized prints, in a one-piece swim suit must slim the average body, or at least make that illusion.

Sporty cuts on this sexy print do the exact opposite, accent the areas where men want to look.
