IMO, This Is the Most Elegant Swimsuit Trend of the Summer

As someone who's never lived more than 12 miles from the beach, I know a thing or two about swimsuits. That doesn't mean I own a million versions, however—I've long preferred quality over quantity. When I do invest my hard-earned money in a new swimsuit, it has to be stylish, practical, and not overly trendy. I always intend to wear each suit for many years to come, so the most innovative cutouts or unusual colors just won't work for me.

So what does make the cut, you might ask? Right now, I'm honing in on one-shoulder, one-piece swimsuits in particular. The silhouette is so elegant and timeless, but it certainly doesn't have to cost a fortune. In fact, one of my favorite styles on the market right this minute is a white one-shoulder swimsuit from H&M retailing for $43. I'm excited to style it with all-white pieces for a monochrome look this sunny season. Scroll down to shop several iterations of my favorite elegant swimsuit trend for summer 2025.
