Take the plunge for some serious drama.
Like a bikini, a one-piece with a low, scooped back reveals some skin. Though mildly daring, it's also perfectly chic. Enhance the look by securing your hair in a high bun or ponytail so as not to detract from the gorgeous open back. Complete the look with a breezy maxi-skirt or denim, wearing the swimsuit like a bodysuit.

Opt for a high-waisted bikini.
It's no secret that high-waisted bikini bottoms have more fabric than their string bikini counterparts. But the extra few inches of fabric is much more than a modest, retro silhouette. The versatile shape offers designers the opportunity to pack in more details like edgy cut-outs and fun patterns.
The off-the-shoulder trend has made its way from clothing to swimwear.
A shoulder-baring swimsuit may not be practical for water sports, but it's perfectly suitable for soaking up the sun, tan-line free. The playful style lends itself to one-piece swimsuits and bikinis alike. Just be sure to slide on an equally sassy pair of sunglasses.
