The ageless one-piece style is so flattering.

Growing up, I’d spend my summers in Palm Springs, California, soaking up the hot sun and sipping on frozen fruit drinks. I was almost never not in a swimsuit, always ready to jump into the cool pool—and TBH, that’s still my definition of “perfect” to this day. But in order to wear a swimmie nearly 24/7, it has to fit just right (no bunching, pulling, or wedgies allowed!). Thankfully, the Spanx Pique One-Piece Shaping Swimsuit is an answered prayer.

The flattering swimsuit from an Oprah-worn brand includes a high neck for extra coverage (keep that décolletage looking good!), an open back, removable pads, and a back clasp; though, it’s the dreamy fabric that takes the cake. It’s slightly textured, offering a trend-forward look, while built-in sun protection keeps your skin safe. The material also offers all-around shaping capabilities in all the right places while staying breathable and light, wear after wear.

I know this firsthand, as I wore the smoothing suit on a recent trip to the Poconos where I received non-stop compliments. A friend asked me to send her the link ASAP, while another couldn’t get over the chic and ageless design. It was also ideal for wearing around kids, as the modest cheeky coverage and lower leg openings kept me feeling secure whether I was swimming in the pool or riding waterslides (and some were no joke!). I was also comfortable all day long thanks to the flexible material and non-chafing silhouette, which is just as important (if not more) than looking good.

While bodysuits are certainly a fashionable mainstay of gym attire, we prefer to style them in more dressed-up ways. Check out these bodysuit outfit ideas you can wear anywhere at any time.

After a long day at the pool, I hung around the resort where the swimsuit doubled as a bodysuit; with a pair of cut-off jean shorts and my elevated Tkees flip-flops, I looked summery, laid-back, and stylish. It would even look good with a flowy maxi skirt, dressy sandals, and statement earrings for a night on the town, making it a two-in-one clothing essential.

I was so obsessed with the shaping one-piece that I decided to try another version from the line, and it did not disappoint. The Pique Plunge Bikini Top and the matching Pique Shaping Ultra-High Rise Cheeky Bottom are essentially a slinkier version of the one-piece, great for those looking to show off a bit more skin. Plus, it comes in three colors if you’re looking for a brighter alternative.
