Good news for gals who can't bear the thought of trying to squeeze into an itsy-bitsy bikini this summer - the one-piece is making a comeback.

But the days of frumpy, full-coverage styles are long gone.

These new one-pieces are sleek and sexy and right on trend, with details like ruffles or fringing.

If you're feeling brave, cut-out styles and plunging necklines were all the rage on international runways, and monokinis are still a fun and fashionable way to show some skin.

One-shoulder styles and graphic prints are also hot - and somewhat safer - options this season and, as always, you really can't go wrong with a simple style in classic black.
