9 Sexy One-Piece Bathing Suit Trends That'll Make You Ditch Your Bikini

Warm weather is finally here, which means beachwear is an acceptable style for any occasion—late-night rooftop parties included. No, seriously. It's totally possible, thanks to the magic of monokinis. These one-piece wonders have the potential to be the most stylish article of clothing you wear all summer, mainly because there are just so many cool ways to pull them off.

I know what you're thinking: one-piece swimsuits are tacky. Sure, you've seen pics of your grandma rocking one in a dated family photo album—but monokinis are truly the hottest summer swimsuit fashion trend of 2016. If styled correctly, they can look playful and sexy or low-key and casual.  Not to mention, this slick suit literally looks good on everyone. 

Who says one-piece suits have to be conservative? Whether you opt for a subtle or dramatic look, cutouts add a sexy edge. 

Halter-style cutouts (as seen on model Emily Ratajkowski, left) can also look awesome.  BTW, if you have small boobs this style is totally ideal—you can still show off skin without drawing attention to your chest.

Embellished necklines add instant glamour to your beach style, and can totally be worn with high-waisted shorts or skirts in the summer. Nina Dobrev's pretty, studded swimsuit is almost as amazing as her sliding down this float backwards.

Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner prove that one can still look glamorous in a one-piece. If you want to spice it up a bit, go for a backless suit like Kendall's.

Once again, Nina Dobrev proved her swimsuit A-game by proving that long-sleeved suits can be pretty, too. I mean, what else would you wear to go shark diving?! This look is great for hanging out on a boat since it can get breezy. 

There's not really much room for experimenting with a bikini,  but when you have a dramatic monkini such as this one, creative styling options abound. 

Just like a strapless swimsuit, you can take advantage of an off-the-shoulder look for optimal tanning. If you're looking to edge up your look, choose a strapless suit with cutouts like Shay Mitchell's. 

This sporty and sleek look is also fun to play around with. Create a plunging neckline by unzipping it a little (or a lot), or opt for a more modest look—which is just as awesome, BTW.

What's swimsuit season without bold patterns? One-piecers deserve to be looked at, so catch everyone's eye at the beach by going for a funky design. From floral design to palm trees and crazy-colored patterns, you really can't go wrong.

The best thing about one-piece bathing suits? You can throw them on with anything and create an outfit. Go for a cutout suit and high-waisted shorts for a lazy Saturday afternoon, or class up your evening look with an embellished neckline suit and long skirt. Trust me, no one will even know you're still wearing your bathing suit.
