Monokinis

Printed Monokinis for Women by NOIB

A monokini is a one-piece swimsuit that does more with its shape. It might have an asymmetric neckline, a deep V or an open back, but it is still one piece. NOIB’s monokinis start there and add prints created in-house in Delhi. The current colourways are Azure, Seaborn, Summer Zest, Ananas and Prairee, and each design uses a placement print, so the artwork sits where you will see it instead of repeating across the fabric. They suit a morning swim, a long resort lunch, or a day on a boat, and they layer easily with our coverups. Browse the one-piece swimsuits below.

Types of Monokinis at NOIB

NOIB’s monokinis come in three styles, each with its own neckline. Here is how they differ.

Asymmetrical Monokinis

The Gaia Swimsuit has one shoulder, a cut-out neckline, and an open back, so the shape changes depending on the angle. Its placement print takes cues from ocean tones. It comes in Seaborn and Summer Zest, and NOIB lists it as a returning bestseller.

Printed Monokinis

The Paros Swimsuit combines a softly gathered scoop neckline with cross-back straps. The placement print draws on island motifs and comes in Ananas or Prairee. The print carries the look by itself, so it needs very little styling.

Statement One Piece Swimsuits

The Cara Swimsuit has a deep V neckline, cross-back straps, and an open back. Its placement print uses playful, summer-inspired motifs in Seaborn or Azure. If you want the swimsuit to be the thing people notice, start with Cara.

How to Style Monokinis with Coverups

Our coverups are cut to go over swimwear, so you can move from the water to a lunch table without changing.

• Lightweight coverup: the Sia Coverup is a kimono-style layer. Put it on when you leave the pool for the lounge.
• Crochet coverup: the Keya Coverup adds texture. Against a smooth monokini, crochet gives you contrast.
• Pareo: the Nua Pareo is a cotton voile wrap skirt. Tie it on for a café stop and take it off before the next swim.
• Longer layers: the Riva Coverup is a halter maxi, and the Viola Coverup is a modal satin beach maxi. Both work for evenings.
• Accessories: NOIB says each swimsuit comes with a small handmade accessory cut from leftover production fabric. Start there before adding anything else.

How to Choose the Right Monokini for Your Vacation

• Silhouette. One shoulder, gathered scoop or deep V: choose the neckline you like seeing in the mirror.
• Print. Open the print filter on the collection page and compare them side by side. The print sets the mood more than the cut does.
• Size. Each product page lists body measurements in centimetres. Across XS to XL, bust runs from 82 to 102, waist from 62 to 82, and hips from 90 to 110. Compare them with your own, and use the size guide for UK and US conversions.
• Styling. If you are building a holiday outfit, pick the coverup or pareo at the same time.
• Care. The product pages list 85% poly and 15% spandex, dry clean only, iron on low heat. Read the exchange policy too: NOIB offers exchanges, but not refunds, and sale items are not eligible.

Monokinis vs. One Piece Swimsuits: What’s the Difference?

A monokini is a kind of one-piece swimsuit, so the two overlap. The word usually points to a more shaped design, such as an asymmetric line, a cut-out, or a statement neckline. A one-piece can be plain and minimal or detailed. The name won’t tell you how a swimsuit fits or what it covers, so compare the actual design. Gaia and Paros show the range. Gaia is built around one shoulder and an open back, while Paros uses a gathered scoop neck with cross-back straps. Both are monokinis, and they look nothing alike.
