Soon, we'll be packing our bags for the long-awaited summer vacations and amongst the inventory of essentials – think flip flops, sunglasses, and breezy dresses – is your swimsuit. And if you're on the fence about what to don for far-flung beach or local lake visits this year, the wisest and most versatile investment to be made is the one-piece.
This year, Vogue Scandinavia's favourite brands and designers are proving the humble one-suit can be just as fun – if not more – than a bikini. From elegant bandeau and asymmetric silhouettes, to more daring cut-outs and prints, we've curated an edit of 79 options that are bound to make a splash.
Bandeau swimsuits
Are off-shoulder and one-shoulder tops and dresses set to be on high rotation across your summer wardrobe? Not only is a bandeau swimsuit one of the most elegant one-piece options on offer, it will ensure you have unbroken sun-kissed glow all season.
Flora and fauna printed swimsuits
Headed to more tropical environs for your summer break? Take inspiration from the surrounding palm fronds and blossoms with a swimsuit printed with colourful flora and fauna.
Cut-out swimsuits
Feeling more adventurous? Show a little extra skin with some cut-out detailing. Same and Cult Gaia's designs are top of our wishlist for their glinting hardware and unique accents, while Sommer Swim and The Attico have mastered the sporty, streamlined look.
One-shoulder swimsuits
No swimsuit makes more of a simple statement than a one-shoulder silhouette. Accentuate the lines with contrast trims like Lisa Marie Fernandez's design, or play with colour and texture with Filippa K and Missoni's versions.
Classic white swimsuits
White swimsuits in contrast to tanned skin is one beautiful look. Not to mention a white swimsuit in contrast to a crystal clear blue ocean.
Colourful swimsuits
Be the colour of the party (read: beach party) in a colourful swimsuit this summer. The brighter, the better.
Classic black swimsuit
One can simply never go wrong with a black swimsuit. The chic and timeless colour will allow you to wear it as a top, styled with only a skirt or a pair of shorts.
