18 ultra-revealing swimsuits that serve your body

High-waisted bikinis and one-pieces have dominated the swimming world over the past few years—the more coverage, the better. But swimwear trends, like clothing trends, are moving in a new, smaller direction. The "barely there" aesthetic that was prevalent in the '90s and early '00s has made a comeback, bringing with it the "less is more" attitude we saw in those near-naked fashion eras. s

While string bikinis never really went away, their sizes have certainly shrunk with the latest swimwear, giving rise to a whole new category of suits: the micro bikini. It seems like all of 2023's biggest swim trends include at least one ultra-revealing design detail (if not more).

Think: One-pieces with high-cut leg holes, Baywatch , low-rise bottoms that were popular in 2001, cutout suits that were more flattering than your average one-piece, and the go-to thong bikini Kendall Jenner, Dua Lipa and Lizzo — an undeniable sign that full-coverage swimsuits are a thing of the past.

Ahead, peruse 18 of the most stylish bikinis and onesies that also happen to show off a ton of skin. These revealing swimsuits are guaranteed to give your body a workout.
