Trend Alert: The Monokini

Jun 04, 2007

What: The Buzz About Monokinis Why: One-pieces and bikinis are pretty standard in the world of swimsuits, but this summer's hottest swimsuit trend is the monokini, or what's sometimes called a "cut-out." It's not quite a one-piece, but it's not nearly a bikini, therefore carrying on the idea that less is more and that you don't have to bare it all to get major sex appeal. Celebrities love the style, as do lean model types who you've probably seen prancing around in them on runways and the pages of Vogue. Surprisingly, though, this trend has even caught on in the mainstream—at least on the likes of yachting Hamptonites I saw donning shimmering metallic monokinis over the weekend. A-listers and mega-stars aside, I think this is a stunning look to wear if you have the body for it. From modest styles, such as this suit to the left to more elaborate peek-a-boo styles as seen below, this trend is red hot and totally worth a try-out in the dressing room. But what do you think? Would you wear it? Leave a comment or vote!

And be sure to check out our guide to this season's Most Flattering Swimsuits.

the monokini? what on gods green earth would make you want to wear a monokini!! ok it is so ugly and weird. looks very uncomfortable... just because people like bikinis and one pieces, doesn't mean you should combine them into a dumb invention like the monokini. get real!!! hoping that trend doesn't spread to my beach or pool club anytime soon because if it does, I will STILL not wear it. you're doing wayyy to much to look fashionable.

whoa dude, monokinis suck!!!! theyr'e gross, only hookers would wear them. did they have a design for a bikinni and smudged it downward and decided to manufacture them so that pathetic girls could try to get dates!! it looks your giving urself a wedgie from the front. PS- i am pregnant, and i dont see any good MATERNITY monokinis. racists!!!

the monokini rocks! The above comments were posted by fat chicks whos spare tire would be hanging out the sides!
I am buying like 10 of these and rocking them all summer long because I, unlike you, look hot in whatever I put on.

Hey, I have a monokini & I love it! My favorite swimsuit ever was the monokini I had as a teen in the 80's, and I waited a lifetime to find one again last year.

Stylish monokinis (NOT slutty, overly-cut-out styles) are awesome - they are as sexy as a bikini, but with a little more coverage. For some of us older, still in-shape women, these are fantastic! They hide stretch marks or scars (childbirth, c-sections, the little belly we eventually get), yet still look fabulous.

Rock on, monokini!

Monokinis are gorgeous. Only the fatsos would hate it. They are sexy looking without being overly revealing. You people have serious problems if you hate them. I wonder what kinds of atrocities you wear to the beach...
