Non-Scary Bikinis Exist, and I Found Them

I was once a bikinis-only person, but my tastes have changed over the years, and I've found myself becoming more and more of a one-piece person over the last couple of years. (Which is something I never predicted I'd say back when I was in my string bikini-wearing high school and college days.)

Truth be told, I don't love wearing swimsuits in general, despite living in California for most of the past decade. I'm pretty sure I could count the number of times I put on a swimsuit last year on one hand. But my interest in swimwear has been significantly higher than usual this year, as my honeymoon in Mexico is quickly approaching.

I'm determined to not have to wear a swimsuit twice on my tropical vacation, so I came to the conclusion that I need to bring eight swimsuits. But that's a lot of one-pieces, folks. So I made it my new mission in life (well, one of them) to find the cutest, least scary bikinis on the internet, devoid of the words "string" or "cheeky" in the description. What I discovered are tons of flattering options, including high-waisted and bloomer (trust me—they're cool) bottoms, modesty-friendly ruching, and bandeau tops. Below, shop 15 of my favorite non-scary bikinis so that you, too, can give your one-pieces a break every so often this summer.

Complete the set: H&M Bottoms ($13). Your eyes do not deceive you—this is truly affordable.
Complete the set: Madewell Bikini Bottoms ($45). So retro. So cool.
This is what I call a happy swimsuit.
Wear this, and just wait for the compliments to roll in.
Finish the set: ModCloth High-Waist Bottoms ($20). The sleeves on this one are very chic.
The metallic accent here is so pretty.
You can't go wrong with animal prints.
Complete the set: Solid & Striped The Brigitte Bottoms ($88). The snakeskin print is incredibly fashion-forward.
Finish the set: Wolf & Whistle Bikini Bottoms ($14). Simple and elegant.
Ruching is trending so hard right now.
Complete the set: & Other Stories Briefs ($25). This green hue is where it's at.
The cutouts and criss-cross details make this color-blocked swimsuit particularly "of the moment."
Complete the set: L*Space Bikini Bottoms ($99). The V accent brings something special to this bikini.
Complete the set: Robin Piccone Bikini Bottoms ($74). The tie accent is quite cute.
If you're up for a splurge, this one is more than worthy.

Still looking? Shop more modest swimsuits next.

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...
