A monokini is, in essence, the combination of a bikini and a one-piece, where the top and bottom are connected usually via the middle torso.

Often referred to as monokini swimsuits, monokini one-piece, monokini bathing suits, or trikinis, this sexy cutout style has been the darling of 2008 swimwear designers and shows no signs of disappearing for 2009. We love the monokini because the different designs and variations that can be created from a monokini make each style original, trendy and very very sexy. Monokini swimsuits are most often designer styles, and are available as halter, bandeau, ring top and bottom, v-neck, or triangle.

String bikinis are perfect for the beach and fun in the sun. Apart from being deemed as hot by members of the opposite sex, string bikinis have the benefit of being adjusted to your comfort level in the hip are instead of having to wear a standard bottom that might be too tight or loose for you. Oddly enough, we find that string bikinis tend to fit more women than other bikini styles.

Another good thing about string bikinis is that they do not need to tie at the sides to be considered a string bottom. The string can be merely decorative.

In the case of some hipster style bikinis the strings tie to the side and result in a sexy pinup girl look.

Of course we also favor the more unique string bikinis with couture design such as this Agua Bendita swimsuits:

In this designer suit by Maaji Swimwear, the monokini has a sort of inverted style.
