One-piece Swimsuit with Plunging Neckline White

If that feels like too much dress, we also like the little Bardot top. It shows the shoulders, has short sleeves and sits high on the body. The matching circle skirt is lined and cut to sit at the waist, which makes the two together feel deliberately shaped without looking stiff. They work well together, but the skirt can just as easily stand on its own when a full white look feels a bit much.

The one-piece swimsuit is another good example of Dolce & Gabbana knowing when to hold back. The halter tie keeps the front simple, while the side draping gives the swimsuit more shape. It is not shy, but it is much less busy than the printed swimwear later on.
