30 One-Piece Swimsuits for Summer

Guys, can we just say how much we are loving the return of one-piece swim suits? We can get on board with any trends that make a comeback from our childhood days, though they have come a long way from swimming lessons. Before you ixnay the idea, please understand...these are not your Mother’s suits. They are cute, playful, sexy (some even more than bikinis) and most importantly, provide us with the coverage we need (especially if you have kids!) 

This year, there are a lot of new trends and so much variety when it comes to design and prints, you’d be hard pressed to find something you didn’t love. We enjoy a great pattern but our favorite element may be a well-placed cutout…this helps keep it young without the same old bikini worries, like hiking up your straps all day long. What better way to start your Summer than by picking up one a few new swimsuits that won't break the bank? 

Here’s 15 of our favorite cost-effective styles (hover over for brand & price!):


Swimwear is something that we have found the older we get, the more we want to splurge. It may have something to do with the quality and craftsmanship of the pricier suits, but we’ve just found there is better support and coverage once you hit the $100 mark. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, with many cute suits for under $30 even (shout out to Target for a fun collection this year!), but the different is, they may only last one season. Designer suits are a better bet for lasting you multiple summers and giving you the support you need…less boob slips for your buck, if you will ;)

Rocked it & Swapped it (2 Items, 2 Ways)

A great sheer knit is a wardrobe staple for summer. So is a straw fedora or panama style hat.
Kaitlyn got this beautiful top from H&M and I found this hat at Forever 21, both picked up a few months back. 

When she wore the top up north, it was styled over her bathing suit early in the day, then over a gray tee that night. A sheer knit really is such a great layering piece to have in your closet for those cooler summer evenings! She also added the hat to finish her post-beach look off. 

I too wore her top at the lake house, but this time over 4th of July weekend. I put it on over a swing dress to stay warm on the pier at night and had my hat on all day for sun protection. 

Her is how we both styled the top and hat as a pair:

Do you own either or both of these items? What are two of your summer style wardrobe staples?

Rocked it & Swapped it

Summertime is a great time to go on bike rides and get moving outside. It's also a great time to wear super cute tees with bicycle  prints on them. I don't know about you, but bicycle print is right up there with anchor print in my book. I just can't get enough of it. It's adorable, timeless, and can be totally chic when the print is on the right item. But I digress.... 

Kaitlyn wore her Urban Outfitters tee last summer and mixed her neutrals by pairing it with black shorts  and a brown bag. When I got my hands on it this summer, I paired the tee with basic cutoffs and black accessories. 

Here is how we both styled the tee:

Is there a print that you just can't get enough of? How would you style it?
