one-piece wonder

For swimsuit trends and inspiration, there may be no better place to look than Hawaii. It's the daily year-round uniform, and this summer for Oahu-based Halley Elefante (A.K.A. @thesaltyblonde, pictured above and below), the one-piece is having its moment in the sunlight. What makes this suit stand out are splash-making details we can all appreciate, from cut-outs to one-shoulder silhouettes to lace-up ties (plus extra coverage from the sun!). The current best of the bunch are executed here: the backless black and white striped Vitamin A (above), the halter Love and Lemons (immediately below), the ruched one-shoulder Peony, below, the multi-colored striped Skye & Staghorn (below), the lace-up cut-out Acacia (similar to floral one below), the open-back ruffled Montce (below), the floral ruffle one-shoulder O'Neill (on sale, below), the seersucker cross-stapped back Blue Life (below), the gingham O'Neill (on sale, below), and the back frilled Suboo (similar to last pic).
