One-Piece Swimsuit



Having slinged the specific idea of a bikini into the distance (PING!), I hereby declare a generic “swimsuit” (togs, swimmers, cozzie, cossie, bathers) to be essential.

It doesn’t have to be a maillot, a bikini, and tankini or any other particular configuration. It just has to fit and to function. I mean, go starkers if you want to, but a great many places frown upon that sort of thing. A good one piece is like any other good cossie: it doesn’t ride up when you walk, doesn’t fall down or off when you dive, doesn’t go loose or transparent in the wet, doesn’t rub, grab, pill, sag or cut in. It doesn’t fade in the sun or in chlorine, and doesn’t leave you with weird tan marks.

A one-piece makes my one hundred.
