Here, we tell you, which is the most suitable body type to wear this type of swimming costume, 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. This swimwear tends to not suit women, who have an athletic body, as it tends to hang loosely on them.

The design of a monokini is such that, it creates the illusion of a curvaceous figure. The popularity of this swimsuit 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, it can be one of the most flattering swimsuits to don. Not only is it sexy in a not very overt manner, it also 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 this swimwear is 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 and 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 swimwear 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 patterns 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 with a long column.
The fabric pattern or print that you want for your swimwear depends completely on your aesthetic sense. For juniors, stick to patterns like checks, polka dots, or plain colored suit. For older women, opt for metallic patterns, bolder colors, or even a pattern embellished with stones, or decorated with lace. The cost of the swimsuit completely depends on where you buy the suit 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 this type of swimsuit may be the perfect way to do so.
