Monokini Swimsuits

The modern-day monokini swimwear that we are familiar with, first saw daylight in the year 1963, when Austrian-American designer Rudi Gernreich designed the original monokini and displayed it to an awestruck public by featuring it in Look Magazine. Of, course modern-day monokinis are much more dramatic and daringly cut than the first monokini, but it is still the rage it was when it was first launched. A variation on the classic bikini, it combines the look of a bikini with a one piece swimsuit design which explains the popularity of the swimsuit. If you are intent on wearing a monokini, then you need to know that a monokini is more glamorous than functional. So, if you are the athletic kind, then maybe you should opt for a more comfortable variety of swimsuit. Of course, you can also opt to choose a functional and simple monokini that does not reveal much and allows you to look great leading to negative connotations. Here, we tell you which is the most suitable body type to wear monokinis, and what the trends are.

Monokini Swimwear for Women

If you have a long torso and a well-defined upper body, then you are one of those lucky women on whom a monokini swimsuit looks like it was invented for them. Monokinis tend to not suit women who have an athletic body as the swimwear tends to hang loosely on them. Women who are slim built and have a natural hourglass shape can carry off a monokini with style. Monokini swimsuits can also work wonders for women who have short and slender legs. The design of a monokini is such that the swimsuit creates the illusion of a curvaceous figure. The popularity of the monokini can be attributed to the fact that many celebs all around the world have been spotted wearing designer monokinis.

Monokinis are available in a variety of styles and cuts, and if you have the figure for it, can be one of the most flattering swimsuits to don. Not only is it sexy in a not very overt manner, it allows you freedom from the constant fear of your bikini getting undone while you are in the water. When you talk about the different styles that these swimwear are available in, you have to talk about the simple and conventional patterns of monokini swimwear. These readily available swimsuits cover a large area of the upper body and the lower body, while exposing the curves of the stomach area. There are also designs that redefine daring by opting for low cuts around the cleavage, and high cuts around the bottom. You can also opt to buy a monokini that is designed like a halter top, which comes with adjustable waistlines. While plunging necklines may seem sexy and alluring, the fact remains that at a purely functional level, they may not be the best swimsuits to opt for. Try out sexy monokinis that play around with designs on the back. Opt for crisscross designs on the back or even a halter that is attached to the bottom of the monokini with a long column.

The fabric pattern or print that you want for your monokini depends completely on your aesthetic sense. For juniors, stick to patterns like checks, polka dots or plain colored swimwear. For older women, opt for metallic patterns, bolder colors, or even monokini embellished with stones or decorated with lace. The cost of the swimsuit completely depends on where you buy the same from. If you want, you could also opt for skirtini swimwear which is a good alternative to monokinis. As with swimwear in general, wearing monokinis requires a lot of confidence. If you believe you have the body to flaunt, then wearing a monokini maybe the perfect way to do so.
