So far, this summer has been all about the barely there bikini. But those who wish to show a little less skin are in luck: Abigail Stern of Matek has just launched a new onesie, called the All-in-One-Z. The singlet bathing suit offers up far more coverage than your standard Brazilian thong or French high-cut bikini. Though Matek has been known for its tech-minded baselayers made for skiing, this is the first piece of swimwear that the label has released.

Stern garnered inspiration from vintage swimwear she found from heritage labels and her relatives’ closets. One image that stuck in Stern’s mind was of men in onesies gathered around the pool in the 1920s. “It wasn’t like a wrestling singlet—it was super chic,” says Stern. “They looked like the perfect specimens.” After, Stern went into an eBay dive, bought several, and then got to work creating her own iteration.
