This Andie Swimsuit Brings Mykonos Vibes to NYC

Swimwear brand Andie is known for making pool-ready pieces tailored to fit the body in all the right places. Scrolling through the swimsuit maker's site, you'll find a sea of figure-flattering one- and two-piece bathing suits in a range of colors and available in sizes XS-XXXL. Recently, I was offered the opportunity to give an Andie one-piece swimsuit a try and chose The Mykonos ($115).

The Mykonos silhouette is available in many fabrics and colorways. There's the "flat," which is made of nylon and spandex and available in black, cherry red, and navy. "Eco Poly," the second fabric, is made of spandex and a recycled, plastic-bottle-sourced polyester; it's available in a limited-edition espresso color. Finally, there's Ribbed: a nylon-spandex blend that offers the most compressive fit, according to Andie's site. It's available in two classic colors: black and white. After analyzing the size chart, I chose a black, long-torso version of The Mykonos - Ribbed in XXL. For context, I'm 6'2" and normally wear a size 18.

When I put the one-piece on for the first time, I immediately realized why it's one of the brand's bestsellers. The ribbed fabric has a slight hold to it, but it's not tight; the bathing suit is still easy to pull on and slide off. The brief-style bottom half has a gusset that is wide enough to provide full coverage in front while keeping the derrière shielded from the sun. Wide straps on the top half dive into a plunging neckline that has a couple of inches of fabric between the cups - a silhouette reminiscent of an upside-down trapezoid. As for the triangular cups, there's a vertical stitch that runs from the under-bust seam over the middle of the cups and all the way up to the straps. The stitch doesn't cut my breasts in half. I'm also relieved that the cups cover my 42G bust with no spillage. And, thankfully, there's no underarm spillage either (pictured below).

My favorite detail is at the waist. There's a seam beneath the removable cups, a few inches of fabric, and then another seam on the waistline. The ribbed fabric between the seams forms a band that gently hugs my waist and flatters my figure.

Once I was done ogling the details, it was time to try out The Mykonos. To give my new bathing suit a proper test, I went to the nearest Equinox in New York (it has a rooftop pool that's perfect for a plunge and photos). In 30 minutes of bobbing, doggy paddling, and splashing around in the pool, I never had to adjust the bottom half of my swimsuit - I normally end up having to pry sopping wet fabric from between my cheeks, butt not with this swimsuit. I did have to adjust the top after my test swim, but it was nothing a little shift-and-wiggle couldn't fix. With so many well-placed details - and nothing ever popping out on top or below - The Mykonos is ready to be worn poolside in Greece (or New York). As you can see from the GIF below, Andie's The Mykonos bathing suit made me so happy that all I could do was jump for joy!

The Boob-Window Trend Is All Over the Red Carpet From Sydney Sweeney to Chlöe

The boob window is the new trend in celebrity dressing making waves this year, both on and off the red carpet. As early as January, in fact, Lori Harvey stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday in the LBD version of the look, flaunting an asymmetrical midi from The Attico with a chest cutout that circled her cleavage, and was further amplified by an attention-grabbing neck-tie sash. The outfits that follow often resemble halter silhouettes, although not all of these numbers boast a strap on each side. Sydney Sweeney is the latest style icon to give it a go, opting for a brown silk gown that she wore alongside model Izabel Goulart while vacationing in Ibiza. For a night out, the 25-year-old " Euphoria " star rocked her one-shoulder design with gold jewelry, dewy makeup, and her bright blonde hair in loose waves. The bodice of her dress was secured near her collar bone, where fabric from one side was pulled through a loop at the other, wrapping around to the back. The r...

Barry Manilow Shuts Down Michael Kors's Studio 54-Themed Fall 2019 Runway

Michael Kors has established himself as the go-to designer for all things American glamour, whether that's easy West Coast chic or '80s power bitch, so it was not particularly surprising when he cited the Studio 54-era of New York City as inspiration behind his Fall 2019 collection, shown ...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
