I used to think that when you get invited to a destination beach wedding or a fancy bachelorette party on a yacht you automatically had to buy one of those typical pastel maxi dresses. But honestly those dresses are a total pain the second a real sea breeze hits because you spend half the night trying to keep the fabric from blowing into your face or getting tangled in your sandals. A while back I went to a sunset pre wedding pool party in Bali where the vibe was supposed to be elegant resort luxury and I spent weeks stressing out over what to wear. That was when I realized that a really well made white one piece swimsuit can actually look way more sophisticated than a regular dress. You just have to stop looking at it like a basic sports garment and start treating it like high fashion. If you pick a piece with the right texture and cut it looks incredibly chic on the sand and the best part is you can just slide a silk skirt over it when it is time for dinner.
Why a draped wrap layout makes a huge difference in photos
A lot of girls get totally freaked out by the idea of wearing solid white swimwear because they think it is going to show every single little insecurity or look way too flat. Honestly that is only true if you buy a super cheap thin fabric with zero structure. If you look for a draped wrap style that crosses over the front the fabric does all the hard work for you. The built in ruching and folds create these really soft shadows across your midsection that completely camouflage any stomach lines. It gives you this gorgeous hourglass shape without making you feel like you are being suffocated by shapewear. You can actually eat the beach buffet and drink cocktails all afternoon without having to constantly suck your stomach in for photos.
Going for that high neck crochet look to keep things classy
If you want to look super elegant and respectful for a family heavy wedding event but still want to feel beachy you should definitely hunt for a high neck crochet style. With these designs the solid white lining covers everything you need it to cover around your chest but the neck and the sides feature this beautiful open knit pattern that looks exactly like expensive bridal lace. It frames your shoulders beautifully and gives off this very timeless upscale resort vibe that looks so good in group pictures. Plus when the sun goes down and the breeze gets cool you can literally just slip a linen maxi skirt over the bottoms and the swimsuit instantly looks like a high end designer evening bodysuit.
The glamorous plunging V neck with a touch of gold
For a wedding event that is a bit more modern or has a high fashion dress code you can absolutely get away with a deeper plunging neckline. But here is the secret to keeping a deep V white suit looking classy instead of trashy you need to find one that has some real structural hardware built in. Look for the ones that have a wide supportive band under the bust or a built in fabric belt with a clean gold buckle right at the waist. That tiny pop of gold metal against the crisp white fabric completely elevates the whole outfit and makes it look like you bought it at a luxury boutique. It pulls the eye right to the narrowest part of your torso and gives you this long lean silhouette that looks amazing in pictures.
Romancing the ocean with a soft off the shoulder ruffle
If your personal style is way more romantic and feminine you are going to fall in love with an off the shoulder or flounce neckline piece. This cut features a beautiful wide ruffle that sits smoothly around your upper arms and highlights your collarbone and shoulders. White ruffles have this naturally celebratory bridal feel that fits a wedding environment perfectly without looking like you are trying too hard. Because the top part of the suit has so much personality the rest of the silhouette can stay super clean and simple. I love this style because it is incredibly versatile for a vacation weekend. You can wear it on a lounge chair during the day with some huge sunglasses and then throw a colorful midi skirt over it for the reception party later that night.
