Swimsuits with extreme cutouts of nearly every configuration are a big trend this summer.

But it seems to us like if you want to show off a lot of skin, bikinis are often more flattering and functional.

This spotty one piece from Topshop (can’t wait till you get to NYC Topshop, kiss kiss!) is a good example of what we’re talking about. It’s basically a bikini with a long strip attaching the two pieces.

If you’re used to one pieces, do cutout suits make you more comfortable than a bikini? Or if you’re a bikini bunny, would you try one of these instead? Tell us in the comments below.
