2010 is apparently the year of the one-piece. According to Google's retail blog, the bikini is on its way out -- at least temporarily. "Search trends indicate that one piece swimsuits and tankinis will be a hit this year despite fashion show standouts including cutouts, plunging necklines & one shoulder designs in various bright colors and graphical prints," says the blog. The trend would definitely fall in line with a move on numerous runways this past season toward more prim, even conservative looks. And one of the most talked-about new swimsuit lines to launch this past year -- a collection called We Are Handsome -- is all about the monokini.

True to its moniker, the collection is a collaboration between Oscar&Elvis Swimwear and People Like Us. Each suit boasts vintage prints of cowboys, a tiger mid-growl, or a purple, palm tree-studded LA skyline. They're simple in cut, but the prints totally set this line apart. Also worth checking out if you're in the market for a one-piece: Lover, an uber-feminine brand from Australia stocked at Steven Alan among other stores. Insight, likewise Aussie-based, is sold at Urban Outfitters. The latter is the handiwork of Natalie Wood, a Sydney indie fashion icon thanks to her line Something Else (and the now-defunct Sample).
