Yep, your maillot’s totally, ahem, suitable for pretty much every setting this season–from work to your outdoor women’s circle (and you’ll actually be prepared the next time a party end’s with everyone jumping in the pool). Best of all, you can wear the summer wardrobe staple with practically anything in your closet—especially if the style in question is a classic LBS.
Ready to take the plunge and wear your swim gear as the base for some seriously chic outfits?
Here, a stylist shows you 3 cool ways to rock your one-piece as a bodysuit.
To pull off a swimsuit at work, pair it with relaxed separates
“I can envision an oversized blazer and accompanying high-waisted, but loosely fitted shorts with this one-piece,” suggests stylist and Chillhouse founder Cyndi Ramirez. Plus, if your happy hour plans happen to be poolside, you’ll be prepared.

Give your LBS a date-night makeover with a calf-skimming skirt
For a cool look on a hot summer night, pair it with a midi skirt in a breezy fabric like linen. How to polish off the ensemble? “A messy top bun and hoop earrings,” Ramirez insists.

When in doubt, blue jean out
Create a go-to summer uniform that’ll work everywhere from the beach to a dreamy backyard barbecue by layering your suit under oversized denim overalls (yes, they’re back—and adult-appropriate), says Ramirez. Slip on a pair of Birks (ideally ones that are iridescent, just because) for a functional look you’ll be living in until Labor Day.
