Styles
Like all swimsuits, the monokini bottom portion of the swimsuit can vary in cut. Some have g-string style backs, while others provide full coverage of the rear. The bottom of the monokini may be high cut, reaching to the waist, with high cut legs, or may be a much lower cut, exposing the belly button. The modern monokini takes its design from the bikini, and is also described as "more of a cut-out one-piece swimsuit", with designers using fabric, mesh, chain, or other materials to link the top and bottom sections together, though the appearance may not be functional, but rather only aesthetic.
In 1985, Rudi Gernreich unveiled the lesser known pubikini, a bathing suit in the form of a tiny V-shaped fabric strip meant to expose pubic hair, as his last creation a few days before his death in Los Angeles.

Famous quotes containing the word styles:
“The gothic is singular in this; one seems easily at home in the renaissance; one is not too strange in the Byzantine; as for the Roman, it is ourselves; and we could walk blindfolded through every chink and cranny of the Greek mind; all these styles seem modern when we come close to them; but the gothic gets away.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“There are only two styles of portrait painting; the serious and the smirk.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
