Joining a beach or a pool party but cannot decide whether to buy a one piece or a two-piece swimsuit? The monokini might just be what you are looking for. Originally released as a topless swimsuit in the 1960s, it has now evolved into a sexy and fashionable swimwear with different designs to suit every occasion. What makes this swimsuit sexier than your traditional two-piece is the areas of skin it exposes while still managing to cover the strategic points of a woman’s body.
The monokini swimsuits nowadays are a long way from the original design by Rudi Gernreich, which was just a bikini bottom with halter straps, completely exposing the breast area. In the years that passed designers have reinvented Gernreich’s idea and made it more marketable. These days, famous celebrities are donning the modern monokini on their trips to the beach or on a pool party.
Keep in mind that some of these monokini designs are for aesthetic purposes rather than function, which means that if you intend to join a beach volleyball tournament or a Frisbee game, the original two-piece or one-piece bikini might still, be your best bet. For those who would still want to look hot and fashionable, while taking a dip in the pool or the ocean, you can always choose the less complicated and more functional designs.
Your choice of swimsuits depends on what you find comfortable to wear, the monokini swimsuits are ideal for those who are comfortable baring more skin. Choose a design that shows off not just your body but also maybe a little of your personality as well. Take your pick from the animal prints to metal links and even some Swarovski crystals. Find them online if your local swimsuit shops do not carry the monokini design you want.
