One of the biggest shock trends of the summer is cut-out swimsuits…otherwise known as the monokini! When the monokini came back into the limelight a few years ago, many thought they were just a phase, with only the super thin and super famous like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton daring to bare …until now! That scandalous ’60s bathing suit is this season’s hottest swimwear silhouette, and everyone is wearing them. More revealing than the one piece, the monokini is being worn by sexy celebs like Kim Kardashian and Audrina Patridge to hide their negative bits but highlight their curves with strategically placed cutouts. Although you don’t have to have their bodies to pull off this tricky trend!
My favorite designer styles are this season’s bandage dressing, dare-to-bare swimsuits from Hervé Léger. They were a typical example of spring’s extreme cut-out, knock-em-dead pieces that appeared on the runways of Spring 2009. But there are endless high-street styles to choose from too, with a variety of styles on option for maximum appeal. But make sure that you purchase a monokini that you will feel comfortable in, that way you will be oozing confidence at the beach, and what is sexier than a confident woman in a swimsuit?
So yes, this season’s swimwear may have been made for posing and not so much for swimming, but I think practicality is overrated! The only real downfall to a monokini is the risk of odd or unflattering tan lines. My advice? Invest in a little fake tan to even out those crazy patches!
Fashion has never been about practicality! If it was, then Thierry Mugler, Alexander Mc Queen and John Galliono would not have jobs!
