Blame it on the rise of neoprene as a fashion-forward fabric or our growing awareness of skin cancer, but one thing’s for sure: cover-ups are cool now.
Sleek, ‘60s-style one-pieces have been gaining traction for a few summers now, but this new iteration takes things one step further. Presenting… the rashie-style one-piece.
“The style is on the rise for two reasons: one is the obvious that it has great sun protection and secondly – they are super flattering,” says marie claire fashion director Jana Pokorny. “We’ve seen plenty of rashie vest two-pieces but a one-piece makes more of a fashion statement.”
Case in point: Une Piece, the Australian-made swimwear label by Brisbane-based mum-to-be Carly Brown. Une Piece’s “original sexy rashie”, $195, attracted a 500-strong wait list of women wanting to preorder it over the weekend, according to news.com.au reports.
