Hoos of Style

Stephanie Hoos Bathing Suits

Knock knock.
Who’s there?

Hoos. Hoos who?

Wouldn’t you like to know?

Come now. You think we’d really hold out on you? Stephanie Hoos, a spectacular new bathing suit line, features a fresh variety of unique styles that are sure to blow fellow beachgoers out of the water. One-pieces are sexy without revealing too much: Try the lilac maillot with three cut-out circles outlined in dark purple. Or, for something more risque, there’s a belly-revealing halter suit in contrasting blues.

Hoos makes killer bikinis, as well, though they’re far from standard. Dig the bandeau top and bikini bottoms connected by a diagonal string across the stomach. Even the string bikini is striking with its stitched and pleated color-block panels.

When people ask how your suit got so cute, you may not know the exact whys and wherefores.

But you’ll definitely know the Hoos.
