Summer is right around the corner and we’re sure you’re already scouring the market for the perfect swimwear to wear to the beach. And while you probably already have a few tucked away in your closet, we suggest you add a classic one-piece swimsuit to your collection.
The great thing about the one-piece swimsuit is its versatility. From sleek monokinis to structured maillots that could easily double as body suits, it's definitely a must-have for any and every season. More and more, we’re seeing these swimsuit styles worn as everyday wear, easily transitioning this summer staple into a stylish OOTD. Wear it as a bodysuit and dress it up with a blazer, a skirt, and a pair of heels, or dress it down with a sarong and your favorite sneakers. You’ll definitely get more bang for your buck with this beach must-have.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up a slew of celebrity-approved fashion formulas featuring a one-piece swimsuit that you can definitely still wear on a casual day or for a night out in town.
1. One-Piece Swimsuit + Trousers
Create the perfect summer look by styling your one-piece with a pair of wide-legged trousers. Keep your accessories minimal with strappy sandals and a straw hat and you’re good to go.
2. One-Piece Swimsuit + Midi Skirt
Elevate your swimsuit game by playing with prints and textures. Unexpected cutouts and silhouettes allow for some pretty interesting and high-fashion looks. Take cues from Camille Co and Marie Lozano and turn heads by styling your one-piece with a printed asymmetric or ruffled skirt for that fashion-forward beach or city look.
3. One-Piece Swimsuit + Jeans
Kylie Verzosa keeps things simple at home by pairing her neutral-toned swimsuit with high-waisted denim jeans. Take this look out on the streets and throw on a pair of high heels and a cute purse then call it a day!

Less is definitely more with this look featuring Kelsey Merritt and fellow model Siobhan Moylan both choosing to style their one-piece swimsuits with a simple white button-down shirt for that easy, breezy summer look perfect for lounging at home or sailing at the sea.

This foolproof style combo looks effortlessly chic no matter what. For hot summer days, we suggest you pair your one-piece swimsuits with a flowy maxi dress. Take cues from Babba Rivera and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and wear it as a cover up for when you’re out lounging by the beach.
