FUN AND SUN WITH 1 SOL SWIMWEAR By: Hope Wilkos, Writer/Blogger

As the sun rises and the waves crash along the shore, 1 Sol Swimwear is becoming recognized as the prestigious swimsuit of choice for women with an eye for distinction and glamour across the United States.

This fabulous company was launched three years ago by David and Azad Shalom after teaming up with Designer and Florida native, Jenny Pyle. The fashions have been making their way from the West to the East coast of the nation at a rapid pace. All the suits are handmade in the United States and since the parent company is an embellishment house, this gives 1 Sol Swimwear the advantage to capitalize on detail and intricacy with the use of items such as Swarovski crystals or studs. Most of their fabric used is from Southern California and is AATCC tested for durability (in salt water and sun exposure) in order to give the customer a durable yet stylish suit that will last for years.

The 1 Sol website is full of testimonials from avid fans of the swimwear line. With an eye for elegance, you will love wearing their monokinis, tankinis and one-piece sophisticated suits.


With an abundant variety of options in color and style, every woman will have a superb shopping experience. Pick the Tinsey triangle top, Vivianne bandeau, Hardware Grecian top or Betti top. Pair that with the string bottom, Vivianne Boybrief, Hardware brief or Shelly bottom. Then pick your preferred color. Try white or plum or fuschia or emerald or electric blue or black. The possibilities are endless.


Sashes, ties, buckles and hooks give each suit an inventive and creative way to be worn. Create the look to match your personality. Compliment the Cleo one-piece suit with a large turquoise necklace and hit the ocean looking as if you are a Grecian goddess. Much attention is given to the pleating and grommets on particular styles.
Prints and patterns will set the trend with a vogue veneer. A palm leaf pattern is transformed into a work of art. Copper, dark green and tan pop out at you with hints of emerald to enhance. The Mystic Mayan takes us back to the times of the ethnic tribe with washes and lavender, blue and copper. The one-shouldered suit is simply divine. The African teardrop cries for attention with an earth tone tie-dye effect.
For the feminine at heart and innocent of soul, you will love the laser cut ruffles intensified with lace or perhaps the lace up center on the one-piece design.

Flowers emulate a sense of flirtatious freshness and the watercolor floral suit will be one of your favorites. It is a hand painted print in deep purples and blues. Some of the other popular designs include the electric reptile and the vibrant tribal.
As the sun sets and you depart the beach, slip into the silky solid coverups. There is a diverse assortment for viewing consisting of the flounce mini skirt or long skirt, sheared mini-short, knotted tunic, X back tunic, Gina dress and the wide leg capri. Whatever the function, 1 Sol Swimwear will meet your needs. If the day is still young, pick a silk or chiffon sarong in many colors and patterns and hit the tiki bar.


Don’t forget to throw your suntan lotion, sunglasses, I-pod and book into the classic braided rope Jute bag or tote with outside cargo pockets and contrasting printed trim. There is also the decorative wooden handled bag with detachable strap and zip closure. Some bags even have cell phone pockets. You’ll find many colors to choose from.
With great fit, perfection of color and unique design, you will be making 1 Sol Swimwear a large part of your swim wardrobe. The company has been featured in Swim Journal. Stores that carry the swimwear can be found all across California which is their place of origin as well as Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada and even at Canyon Beachwear in New York. The merchandise can also be bought online at www.1SolSwimwear.com. For those of you interested in the 2012 collection, it will be available at the end of this year for purchase.
