The #1 Swimsuit Style You Need This Summer

For summer 2022, you can keep those itsy-bitsy, barely-there bikinis on the back shelf, because the biggest swimsuit style is the one-piece bathing suit. High-cut, retro, cut-out and classic, the one-piece bathing suit is back in styles that fit and flatter all. Here are some of our top choices for one-piece swimsuits this season.
