It\u2019s not surprising due to current trends and our quest for comfort \u2013 and retailers are capitalizing on this growth with a bevy of flattering and daring styles for 2017,\u201d Emily Bezzand, head analyst at EDITED, told Moneyish.<\/p>\n<div class=\"unruly_in_article_placement\" data-unruly-ad-type=\"horizontal\">\n<div class=\"unruly_ia_furniture\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"unruly_ia_closebutton\" src=\"http:\/\/video.unrulymedia.com\/native\/in-art-countdown-icon-128x128x3s.gif?d=1496192481661482419.9017159148\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"unruly_ia_disclosure\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"unruly_in_article_video_container\">\n<div class=\"unruly_in_article_video_content_container\">\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"unruly_program_icon\" src=\"http:\/\/video.unrulymedia.com\/native\/opt-out-icon2.png\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"unruly_ia_bottombar\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>That includes activewear brand Athleta, which features swim leggings for surfers, stand-up paddle boarders, or anyone looking for a little coverage.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve also got new one-piece styles this year including a strappy yoga-inspired Prussian blue suit with molded cups, and a striped one-piece with cap sleeves that ties in the front.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[A woman] wants something that she can wear confidently, without having to constantly adjust,\u201d Athleta\u2019s Ariel Bishop (swim design) and Charlotte Lord (swim merchandising) told Moneyish. \u201cShe wants to be able to dive into a pool, or bend down and play with her kid, without the discomfort of her suit getting in the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ASOS and Topshop one-pieces are also popular, although any swim line worth its saltwater has at least one racy monokini on the rack. Yup, one-piece suits have shed their dowdy rep thanks to sexy details like high-cut legs, plunging necklines and low backs, or strategic cut-outs along the torso and sides \u2013 so you can flaunt the body parts you love, while covering up the ones you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first year that chic plus-size site Eloquii is offering swimwear, but the brand told Moneyish it has already noticed one-pieces are selling better than their itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny counterparts. Rebel Wilson even sported their $120 Off The Shoulder One Piece recently while on vacation in Mexico. So Eloquii plans to roll out more single-piece styles next summer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"e3lan e3lan-in-post2\"><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>Adv<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bagfactory.com.hk\/216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Sun Winning Ind Co<\/strong><\/span><\/a>: Manufacture of Canvas Bag, Recycle Bad in China<\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theunitravel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TheUniTravel.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span> : Find the latest\u00a0<em>travel<\/em>\u00a0and tourism\u00a0<em>news<\/em>\u00a0from around the world.
