I get what your intention was but..... perhaps the title could have been different. Most of us are familiar with the old "Modest is hottest" phrase. So you can't blame our readers for immediately keying in on that phrase and thinking of the original meaning when it came out.
No blame at all!
Just a clarification.

I think everyone is missing the intended definition of "hottest". In commerce, something is "hot" when it is trending. People are buying a lot of it. Just like when we have a "hot" topic on the forum. She made a case that modest swimwear is gaining popularity. In that sense, I believe it to be accurate.
"Hot" may be more accurate. But it doesn't rhyme.
Just FYI for everyone: As the author of the article, I can safely say this is the intended meaning of the title. Thanks, Carborendum!

Modest is Hottest: One-Piece Swimsuits Are Trending
in Third Hour Article Discussion
Posted · Edited by kashleyann
The Church doesn't have a standing list of what styles of swimsuit are appropriate, but General Authorities have given specific counsel to avoid clothing that doesn't cover the stomach or that is low cut. Years ago, the Church did have a specific guideline to not wear "two-piece" swimsuits, meaning bikinis.
One-piece swimsuits certainly aren't the only style of modest swimsuit, and all one-piece swimsuits aren't necessarily modest (you can buy plenty of one-piece suits that have cutouts or dip really low in the front, for example), but they're one style that tends to cover more skin than some other styles.
