10 Reasons 2016 Is the Year of the One-Piece Swimsuit

For years we’ve associated bikinis with instant sex appeal, but now the one-piece is making a comeback in a major way, thanks to the incessant Insta-ing of Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift and more stars who’ve discovered that more actually is more. Of course, it’s also entirely possible to wear a one-piece that has less fabric than a bikini (congrats on figuring that one out, Emily Ratajkowski).

Here are 10 reasons the one-piece is the suit of the summer.

1. Kim Kardashian found a way to make them as revealing as ever…

2. … And how to promote her husband in the process.

3. Taylor Swift brought sexy backs back.

4. Gigi Hadid looked as patriotic as ever in vertical red-white-and-blue vertical stripes at Swift’s Fourth of July party/photoshoot.

9. Meanwhile, Beyoncé showed the world how to work out in one.

10. And, last but not least, Chrissy Teigen demonstrated that you don’t have to know how to swim to know how to rock a one-piece.
