It’s no secret we’re big fans of a good one-piece swimsuit. Most devotees will say that a woman in a maillot oozes elegance and class, and Princess Deena Al-Juhani Abdulaziz recently noted that, “historically, women who wear one-pieces have always had better taste.” However, last week we spotted some versions on the Miami Swim Week runways that were not so worthy of this favorable description. While many of the trends left us eager to grab our SPF and head to the beach, a barrage of questionable swimwear stomped down the runway, proving that not all one-pieces are created equal. Some renditions appeared to channel sexed-up rodeo clowns, and others would have made more sense in Fifty Shades of Grey than the beach. Sparkling stars and bondage straps at the shore? Try explaining those tan lines.
