Questionable Trends

Weird Bathing Suit Edition

Now that Spring is beginning to sprung, I have been seeing lots of stores and websites put up their swim suit line. I mean, every time I go into Target I look at them to the point I probably have all the patterns memorized by now, but there are some bathing suit trends that I just don’t understand.

I do understand that you want to look “cute” in a bathing suit and want one with a good fit and pattern. Below however is what I just don’t understand.

To me, the point of going to the beach or pool is to: 1. Relax 2. get a tan 3. actually swim in the water.

How do you even feel comfortable in a bathing suit that looks like this? And please just imagine what sweet tan lines you would get wearing this bathing suit. Those X love handle straps aren’t flattering on this crazy small model, let’s just imagine what it would look like on a normal person. Actually, let’s not imagine what it would look like on a normal person and just not wear it. K? I feel like this is the type of suit girls wear while lounging under a cabana with their $50 flute of champagne and wearing  their $400 beach cover up. What’s the point of a freaky swim suit if you’re just going to cover it up? Moral of the story, there is no point to this bathing suit. {{The top could be salvageable if paired with different bottoms}}

Now we move onto STUDDED bathing suits. For starters this suit is white, so it already doesn’t make sense. What happens to white when it gets wet… let’s all say it together now, IT TURNS SEE THROUGH. But the main mishap in my opinion of this bathing suit is that it has giant yellow and black beads all over it. What if you wanted to lay on your stomach and tan? Or if you wanted to swim in general… the beads would probably fall off pretty quickly. I get it, it’s “different,” but you can make different and logical.

I have nothing good to say about this swim suit. Just why? Why do people make swim suits in this type of cut? Tan lines are already bad enough people. There is no need to make them worse.

And just in case you wanted to buy these swim suits… {{1/2/3 via}} Just don’t tell me if you did, because then I would make fun of you. :)

  1. That first one…I don’t even want to imagine what sort of love handles it would give a person, even if they didn’t already have them. I don’t mind TINY studs on bathing suits, but that middle one is just unnecessary. And I’ve NEVER understood the popularity of that 3rd style. I know people who own suits like that, and they just…look weird. Like your suit fell apart in the laundry and now you’re missing the side panels.
