is it all about the one-piece these days? i wondered that on a recent vacation where many of the gals on the beach were lounging about in cute one-pieces. i might be willing to dip my toe into this, especially after discovering these adorable styles from summersalt. they offer 5x more strength and 4x more compression than your average suit, all for $95! so why not?!
the sidestroke (above), the deep dive, babba and confetti deep dive are my top picks.
