How To Style a Bathing Suit as a Bodysuit

One of my favorite summer style hacks is styling a bathing suit as a bodysuit with my summer outfits. Whenever I see a cute one-piece with a great pattern or fun details, my first thought is, how can I wear it OUTSIIIIDE but not to the beach lol.

Why It Works

While arguably you could do this with any one-piece, it looks best when done with a bathing suit that doesn’t LOOK like a bathing suit. This means looking for one-piece bathing suits that are made of really nice material, and don’t look like scuba material. For example this wrap bathing suit I’m wearing from Pretty Little Thing has a nice smooth look to it, so it looks more like a deep v sexy bodysuit than swimwear.

Commit To The Look

My second tip for styling bathing suits as bodysuits is you have to commit to the look sis. Nobody will know that it’s a bathing suit except for you. So have fun, and fully style your look. In my case, I found a matching satin scarf, and it elevates my look because it’s giving matching set. I also wore a tan skort from Zara (currently on sale!), gold jewelry, gold platform heels (check out a similar designer-inspired pair here), and my fave YSL monogram clutch.

Fully styling my look makes this $70 outfit look a lot more expensive than it actually was.
