Once considered the bikini's conservative sister, swimsuits have slowly become more stylish over the years and are now arguably the chicest thing to wear to the beach, pool or spa. Exhibit A: the cut-out one-piece.
Offering more coverage than a bikini but showing a little more skin than a regular swimming costume, they hit the swimwear sweet spot.

Boden Asym Cut Tie Swimsuit
Boden Cut-Out Swimsuit
Black doesn't have to mean boring, as demonstrated by this Boden swimsuit with tie-waist detail. It features a flattering high leg and lightly padded fixed cups for a smooth shape. The fabric also offers UPF50+ sun protection.
H&M Padded-Cup Bandeau Swimsuit
H&M Cut-Out Swimsuit
With its gorgeous gold hardware detail, I think this H&M cut-out swimsuit could pass for a designer piece. Fully-lined, it features a bandeau neckline and removable padding. It's available in dusty blue or classic black and product details advises sizing down.
Abercrombie & Fitch Cut Out Swimsuit

How beautiful is this white cut-out swimsuit with flower appliqué detail? The Abercrombie piece would be perfect for a bride-to-be. A similar style is also available in black.
Beach Riot Celine Shine Cut-Out One Piece
Free People Cut-Out Swimsuit
Beach Riot's Celine swimsuit is a bestseller at Free People every year thanks to its super flattering cut, giving the illusion of a smaller waist. Available in a range of shades, I love this sage green colourway.
River Island Black 3D Flower Bandeau Swimsuit

This black River Island swimsuit is the definition of chic. It's a subtle way to wear the cut-out trend but also features gold flower embellishment. It's cut with a sleek halterneck.
Reiss Rosella Cut-Out Swimsuit
Reiss Cut-Out Swimsuit
If you're looking for a cut-out swimsuit in tan, I love this luxe piece from Reiss. It has a lace-up front with flattering ruching through the body and would look amazing underneath a pair of white-linen trousers.

Created by Candice Swanepoel and loved by the likes of Hailey Bieber, Tropic of C is a swimwear brand worth the price tag. This luxurious cut-out white swimsuit is part of a limited edition collection designed for Victoria's Secret. Made from textured seersucker fabric it features cheeky back coverage and high cut legs to elongate the body.

Boux Avenue's swimwear is as coveted as their lingerie, and this ombre one-piece would look amazing at a pool party. It features a plunge cut and underwiring for extra support.
