17 One Piece Swimsuits That Make Incredibly Sexy Beachwear

There is an unspoken rule amongst beach-goers that bikinis are de rigueur for oceanside excursions, and anything else is simply passe.

If you prefer a touch more coverage than a triangle bikini can provide beachside, scroll through for 17 swimsuits that have sex appeal and coquettish attitude to spare.
