LEIGH'S LIST: '13 flattering one pieces you’ll actually want to wear to the beach or pool.'

Welcome to Leigh's List. A weekly column, a bit like an agony aunt, but for your shopping woes. A self-confessed shopping addict, Leigh Campbell enjoys nothing more than hunting down the *thing* you've been searching for but haven't been able to find.

Jessie asked:

"Hi Leigh. It’s suddenly hot AF where I live and as such, I'm in urgent need of some new swimmers. I recently had a baby, so I want something I feel good in that I can wear sitting in the sand, digging in the sand and bobbing in the water with my child. I’ve started the hunt but some seem too frumpy and others just don't have enough…fabric. Please help me."

Leigh answered:

"Ah, yes. The mission for the elusive perfect one piece, a search I have been on many times. It can be tricky to find supportive, comfy swimmers that aren't fugly, but it’s doable. The good news? I’ve sourced a whole bunch for you below. The better news? A good one piece (either in a classic shade like black and white, a bold block colour or even a print) can double as a bodysuit with jeans, shorts or a skirt - you can even chuck a blazer over the top and hey presto –  it’s a new top, too."

How about some diversity in body shape and size? These woman all look gorgeous but so they should with those slim bodies. What about the rest of us? 🤷‍♀️

What about which of these is best for a long body? Any thoughts or suggestions? Most one pieces ride up my backside, and zoom straight down from bustline to top of the legs creating a weird trampoline effect 🤦🏻‍♀️
