The 1 Swimsuit Trend That Makes Me Feel SO Damn Confident in My Skin

Not a fan of practically non-existent bikinis? Me neither. While I'm all for trying out new trends like the whole tie-dye hype and ugly sandal trend, I usually stick to the same couple silhouettes when it comes to swimsuits. If it ain't broke, why fix it, right? As I've gotten older, I've started to fall in love with how classic one-piece swimsuits are. When belted one-piece swimsuits started becoming a major trend this year, I didn't have to go way out of my comfort zone to give it a try.

In fact, the belted one-piece trend could not have come at a better time. You see, I went through a surgery a couple of months ago where I ended up with four scars across my stomach. While I'm not ashamed in any way, I was told by the doctor to keep the scars away from direct sunlight for a while to let them heal, so wearing a bikini was sadly out of the question. With these orders in mind, I pushed my favorite two-pieces toward the back of my closet and went on the hunt for belted one-pieces.

There are some amazing fashion brands, some of which I didn't even realize had swimsuit collections, putting their own twist on the trend, and I knew I had to try them. From Solid and Striped's retro belted one-piece that comes in a sweet gingham-print, to a bandana-print swimsuit from WeWoreWhat's collab with Onia which has a Western-inspired belt, there are plenty to choose from.

One thing I immediately loved about wearing these belted styles is that it felt like I was already accessorizing my swimsuits without having to wear any jewelry. The belt was statement enough! If you like how one-pieces keep everything nice and tight, you'll love this style because the belt also cinches in your waist. Looking to make your legs look longer? Opt for a high-leg one, because it does that too! I started to wear the style everywhere, from vacationing in Miami to catching some rays on a roof in New York. Needless to say, I was hooked. While I'm not saying I'm going to toss aside bikinis forever, the belted swimsuit style is definitely one that every body type can enjoy wearing this Summer.

Keep reading to see the four styles I tried and shop the exact styles, as well as other picks, if you want to add this trend to your swimsuit rotation.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
