monokini
In modern terminology, a monokini is a type of one-piece swimsuit where the swimsuit is only connected in the front by the conjoining swimsuit. In detail, there are large cutouts around the sides and generally less_coverage_from_the_back. It's a more aesthetic look to the one-piece swimsuit being a combination to that of a bikini and one-piece.
The earliest term of monokini originates in the mid-1960s, designed by Rudi Gernreich, where it was first introduced as a topless swimsuit with two shoulder straps. This term has since became obsolete in the later years, but some modern topless monokini still exist alongside the one-piece monokinis.
