the it lists – fashion & trend blog

You can hear a collective sigh of relief from all those women that hate putting on a bikini. This summer’s swimwear trend is all about the monokini.

Ironically, many of these one-piece bathing suits don’t give you much more coverage or support than a bikini. Black dominates the racks this season, but interesting cut-outs and designs create the visual interest so often lost where color lacks.

This little black monokini. Aqua di Lara Mendoza Swimsuit, is one of the coolest ones I’ve seen. And check out the lack of back – is that not sexy as hell?

The biggest downfall to a monokini is the risk of odd or unflattering tan lines.
