A Low-Back Swimsuit Will Be Everyone's Favorite One-Piece This Summer

A Low-Back Swimsuit Will Be Everyone's Favorite One-Piece This Summer

Bikini? What bikini?

This summer, dive deep into warm weather with a barely-there, low-back one-piece. The trusty one-piece might feel predictable, but not if it's paired with a scooped back. Choose the entirely backless look if you're feeling daring, or if you want a little more coverage in the bust area but still want to show off some skin; the scoop-back if you're feeling a little more conservative; or the all-over-plunge if you're feeling especially spicy. Some of these low-back swimsuits even double as a bodysuits, simplifying the universally dreaded experience of packing for vacation. Ahead, shop our favorite low-back and backless swimsuits—there are plenty of versions to choose from, so you're sure to find one (or two, or three) that fit your style.

Hermoza Barbara One Piece Swimsuit

The concept behind all of Hermoza's pieces is that they can be worn both as bathing suits and as bodysuits when you're transitioning from the beach or pool to lunch, dinner, or drinks. We especially love the retro coloring on this piece and the chic bowties at the shoulders.
