Best Fitting One Pieces

August 4, 2020

With school start dates being pushed back, it looks like we are getting a few bonus weeks of summer; so why not buy a new suit or two? If you don’t yet have a one pice, now is the time! I was a slow adopter to this trend but have to say that now I am obsessed. The key here is the cut. The right cut can make your body look long and lean and the wrong cut can be disastrous. While it seems counter intuitive, I swear to you, less fabric on your buns make them look smaller. Access fabric adds extra bulk and who in the world wants that?!
In the name of fashion, I tried on several suits and here are my top picks:

I am 9 wears into this suit and loving it more every time. The cut on this Becca one-piece is perfect on the leg and buns. I chase after my kids on the beach all day and everything stays right where it should.  

Okay, this one is more for looking insanely chic while lounging poolside than hanging with the kids. The lux fabric and ring detail on this Aqua one piece make it look much more expensive than it’s $85 price tag. 

The strategic ruching on this Sea Level suit shaves off inches instantly. Pair that with the hidden power mesh and you’ve just lost that quarantine 15. This suit is also great for bigger busts with its adjustable power straps.

Another winner from Becca that hugs you in all the right places. The crochet overlay is super on trend and the panel inlays are insta-slimmers. Available in a neon version as well that looks gorgeous on sun kissed skin.

I was skeptical about the one size fits most Mara suit by BOUND by Bond-Eye but have to say several of my friends have it, all with different body types and swear by it. The material is made from magic as it sucks you and stretches at the same time.

Don’t be scared by the high cut on this Dolce Vita Stella suit. The higher cut elongates your legs and is super flattering. A word of advice, order one size up so you don’t sacrifice any coverage with this cut.

This L*SpaceL*Lockheart suit is pretty enough to wear around town (however there is not enough White Claw in the world to give me the confidence to do so). The belt hits at your natural waist which cinches you in but is also removable.

A simple cover up is all you need to make these ready to go. I love high waisted denim cut off shorts – these Good American’s that fit like a glove or a chic white over sized blouse like this Rails Ellis cotton shirt

Looking for an alternative to all those big baggy Looking for an alternative to all those big baggy #dadjeans out there? I don’t know about you mamas, but I am working harder than ever not to look bigger than I am so the idea of putting on gigantic pants is less than appealing to me. Enter the flare jeans! This is my new favorite cut as an exaggerated flare creates a longer leaner silhouette overall! #stylisthack, most need to be shortened by about an inch or two to be able to wear with sneakers but still keep the bell shape. 👖👖My top picks linked in bio
