Trend of the week: The one-piece

Oh, suits you! says Annmarie O’Connor.  Look poolside perfect in these clever costumes.

INSPIRATION

Looking to splash out on a new swimsuit?

Why not swap your itsy bitsy for its unitard sister?

The tanning rep of a bikini may be undeniable but the ability of a one-piece to reveal and conceal gives it serious bonus points.

All you need to do now is concentrate on saluting the sun!

STYLE NOTES

■ Big and small busts: Halter necks are universally uplifting and balance out a bigger bottom half.

■ Broad shoulders: Divide and conquer with an asymmetric neckline or contrast side panelling.

■ Short legs: Give gams extra length with higher cut legs.

■ Wobbly midsection: Be the master of disguise with clever ruching and draping panels.
