One-piece bathing suits are back, but can you wear them if you're not going to the beach?
Fabsugar shows some of their favorite one-pieces, including cute styles from DvF, Pucci, and Juicy Couture... the Pucci is especially tempting to wear with jeans, since it's a status print, but it might belong purely to the poolside.
Norma Kamali's maillots are always beautifully cut and high quality - and yes, we've seen some girls wearing theirs with tons of necklaces and Miss Sixty cutoffs to brunch.
And American Apparel is practically screaming for you to wear their one-pieces with jeans, or under a strapless dress – especially since their suits prove that you can show as much skin (maybe more!) in a one-piece as in your favorite string bikini.
But the most tempting suit to pair with a shawl and some high waisted pants is the new Zandra Rhodes one from TopShop, available next week and pictured at left.
It might be harder to use the bathroom at a party, but the sexy straps across the back, combined with its incredible pattern, might make you the best dressed girl there.

the american apparel ones work well for this, if you're not fond of patterns. I like to wear the color-block strapless suit with a skirt in the same color family and a pair pf pumps.
